This month, Rawr Yoga Life, founded by Marsha Shakelford, moves into a new space at the Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at 504 Fair Street, S.W., in Atlanta.

Shakelford began the business three years ago from her in-home studio in Roswell, and she will continue to serve some private clients there and online. The Atlanta location, however, will allow her to offer private lessons, group classes and events across three rooms, one of which opens to the outdoors. She hopes to make the classes available to a broad and diverse population and to bring more alternative and holistic healing modalities into the heart of the city and to the Black community.

The name “Rawr Yoga” was inspired by Shakelford’s sons. She says the word “rawr” means “I love you” in dinosaur language. She aims to help others connect joyfully to the heart through fun and creative movement, including dance. Classes will include Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Yin yogas as well as breathwork, meditation, dance, and more.
