Daniel Ellis

All Levels Healing Yoga Teacher

Dan’s yoga journey began at age 9, following along to Rodney Yee’s Yoga for Athletes on VHS tapes with his mother. Those precious moments in the living room helped Dan to prepare for the rigors of football and sparked understanding of the Mind-Body connection.

After several major injuries & orthopedic surgeries, Yoga was at the forefront of his therapeutic interventions across nearly every joint in the body. In 2017, Dan trained at Peachtree Yoga Center’s 42nd annual teacher training program for his 200 hour certification. In 2018, he acquired an additional qualification for Yin Yoga and was initiated into Anubhava Meditation. He has been teaching in Atlanta-based studios and internationally ever since. He attends quarterly ceremonies at Sanctuary of the Divine Heart and Mandala Meditation retreats to infuse an ever deepening spiritual practice into his classes. He holds a container for his students to explore the depths of their thoughts & emotions safely.

Dan weaves his background of Tai Chi, Meditation and Energy Work into every class. It is not just moving the body itself, but the energy through it that distinguishes his approach. Students find his class deep & healing, with the right blend of challenge and grace.
