dolly is not just a yoga teacher, trainer or instructor. she is a walking, talking journey of an authentic soul who speaks through her beautiful voice of wisdom, feels deeply with her nurturing heart and guides you through the light in her eyes. dolly is not somebody you meet, she is somebody you experience. aneela zakaria, teacher training graduate
please know that your sweet and healing touch has been felt, and has been so very, very appreciated. i so admire your spirit and appreciate the way it flows through your work. i know the path to becoming a teacher isn't the easiest ? but please know what an enormous impact and sweet impress you've left on those of us lucky enough to have spread our mats out in your classes!
elaine nichols, yogi
i just want to say again ? thank you for a weekend that I will never forget. i knew this would be an incredible journey and now i am more excited than ever. thank you for your extra time, knowledge, and willingness to share with us. it is truly an honor to learn this art from someone who holds it deeply in their heart as you so obviously do, dolly.
suzanne diorio, teacher training graduate
it isn't often that someone so special comes into your life that you feel like missing a moment with them might mean missing a moment to truly learn, grow and gain new insight on life. that is how I feel about dolly! i think many of us do. dolly has an amazing talent to guide, heal, love, teach, give and share. this teacher training program is by far one of the best. Ii you even think you might want to become a teacher, or if you think you want to take your yoga practice to a new, higher level, don't think twice! if you are reading this from far off places and have never met dolly, then I hopefully can help you understand a little bit about her here. dolly is authentic, lovable, strong, wise, funny and the most true person I've ever met. she is a teacher, a student, a mother, a friend, a beautiful wife and an amazing yogi. her light shines beyond boundaries and her life shines just as brightly.
marcia hoffheins, former owner of yoga south in charlotte, nc
have you ever met someone who was truly free and authentic - someone with so much space around them that there is room for everyone - sees inside you from the first moment and makes you feel safe in their presence? that's dolly. dolly loves people and that love has inspired her to give - to teach - you must come and experience her teachings and her presence - her energy and spirit that light the room and expand your boundaries and thought patterns - making room to grow your practice, your humanity, your love - just come and be and breathe - it will be spectacular!
kim zegil and gisela crider, owners of gotta yoga studio in charlotte, nc
during our training we were all, at one time or another, doubting our abilities, our worth as teachers, etc. but another thing we shared, in my opinion, was our positive, caring and kindly spirits. so, it?s moments like these that i realize we were all drawn to dolly for many of the same reasons. by being ourselves, as dolly so eloquently taught us, we do more for our students than any perfect sequence ever can.
greg labarbera, teacher training graduate
as with module one, our second yoga tt module was an amazing experience! thank you so much for all the energy you put into these classes, for the nurturing environment you create, and as always, thanks for just being you. i really feel like I am making progress in my practice, in teaching, and hopefully in life as well!
vahni georgoulakos, teacher training graduate
it is funny, i want to say thanks but thanks just doesn't quite get it. you have done so much for me and for all of us. you have touched us and helped us grow in deeply personal and spiritual ways and a simple thanks could never express what i am feeling. you have been a teacher, guide, friend, and healer. you are so many things to so many different people. you are a blessing to many of us who, for what ever reasons, fell off of our path, got lost, or maybe we just sort of let go of something. either way, you have given each of us and helped each of us find parts of ourselves that we were missing.
ann wellborn, teacher training graduate
a mere thank you would never be enough! you brought me to places i never thought I could go. you believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. i experienced so many emotions these past six days: anxiety; fear; exhaustion; pain; uncertainty; joy; camaraderie; triumph. i know I have a long way to go but a special thank you for kicking me in the butt when I needed it as well as taking my hand when i needed that. you are an amazing teacher and quite a lady.
marge bisig, teacher training graduate
well, listen i just wanted to say thank you for reading the class so well. you have a great ability to read people and direct class. yesterday, when you took a different approach to practice you gained a ton of credibility in my eyes because you do care, and it shows. it's wonderful to watch and learn from you. i am very grateful to be able to have the opportunity to work and study with you.
steve zanni, teacher training graduate
you are an amazing teacher! just wanted to let you know that i was thinking of you this weekend, as I studied with the 'biggest names' in yoga and realizing how amazing of a teacher you are.
billy piontek, teacher training graduate
i loved the teacher training yesterday and i can't wait to be back in two weeks. i love the way you teach and encourage your students!
ann watcher, teacher training graduate
i now truly know the difference between teaching and being a teacher. you are the " full meal deal" and that makes all the difference between yoga as exercise or as a way of life. thank you for giving me that understanding. i hope that someday others might see me as i see you.
anne landry, teacher training graduate
teacher training was an amazing experience that has really awakened me to the possibilities. i felt challenged, yet truly cared for as a human.
holly sisson, teacher training graduate
excellent, awesome, fantastic! thank you!
bett wallace, teacher training graduate
wow! other than the birth of my only child, this is by far the greatest gift i have ever received!
rachel evans, teacher training graduate
this has been the single most profound growing experience of my adult life. thank you, dolly!
melissa scott, teacher training graduate
the experience was totally different from what i came into it expecting. i thought i was coming here to learn to teach yoga, that's it. it has been so much more. thank god! yes, i learned a lot of sanskrit terms & assists &, well, how to teach yoga (& very well), but i found a new layer of myself, or rather peeled away the old to reveal the true me. now i'm busting out & i don't even know how (you, dolly) did it. for that i thank you!
audrey ipapo, teacher training graduate
a life-changing experience! your warmth & passion was evident in each & every class. as a teacher i know how hard that is to sustain. bravo! so, thank you from the bottom of my heart. you are a special soul, a tremendous mentor & teacher.
stephanie townsend, teacher training graduate
i was pushed completely out of my comfort zone in the safest, most loving environment. what better way is there to learn?
eileen sullivan, teacher training graduate
i had expectations of the teacher training & very early on these were blown out of the water. the dimension this time has brought to my perspective of self & others holds me forever grateful.
amy burgardt, teacher training graduate
you offer a teacher training course that is phenomenal. technically it exceeds all the requirements to teach the physical practice. on another level it provides a pathway to self discovery & then a way to teach your students to explore what the 'yoga' means within. i highly recommend it!
kelly anne gien, teacher training graduate
this was an incredible learning experience. i am so fortunate to have found you. the yoga world has a bright star & it is you, dolly!
cay craig, teacher training graduate
i love organization & being prepared, so i was more than happy at dolly's skills in this department. dolly holds a non-threatening, non-competitive environment for new teachers as well as more experienced ones. her enthusiasm & love for yoga makes you want to learn as much as you can from her. thank you so much, dolly, for just being you!
sherry peckham, teacher training graduate
i know this program, all the elements of it are truly a labor of love. it's blindingly obvious! please know that you've hit the ball out of the park! you rock! you're an amazing writer & teacher. know that what you are doing is working, that you are touching so many people with your yoga & example. you're the best!
vahni georgoulakos, teacher training graduate
to my dolly mamma, words will do little to express what you have given me. thank you for so generously sharing your warmth, for being the sun that shone upon me, for helping to make brighter the light that burns within me. thank you for sharing your knowledge & skills. they will be used in the manner in which they were received ... for the benefit of others.
melody white, teacher training graduate
