THE DDY COMMUNITY

The DDY Vibe

Dancing Dogs Yoga was founded by Shelley Carroll in 2010.  Shelley was a dedicated yoga student looking for a vibrant yoga community, and when she could not find one, she created it.  Shelley set out to create a new kind of yoga community based on service, outreach, and practice.  DDY has evolved into the empowering and vibrant center of community that it is today.

Dancing Dogs Yoga is dedicated to empowering people and community -- on and off the mat.   We exist to empower others through leadership and creating new leaders. We lead classes in our studios and around the community— and we want you to be a part of the yoga family.
