Hey y’all, my name is Dan Carter but you can just call me Danimal. I am the owner of Danimal Fitness in Washington, D.C.
I teach yoga, pilates, bootcamp, foam rolling and mindfulness classes across the country. Although my preference is in-person fitness and mindfulness, I specialize in creating outstanding digital and live experiences. In my past life, I worked at The Discovery Channel where I won an Emmy for my work on Sky Wire Live with The Flying Wallendas. I believe in creating online content that looks and feels like you are getting the authentic in-person experience, my streams are crisp, clean and above all else fun.
Making folks laugh is a specialty of mine and you’ll find that there’s a little bit of joy baked into every class that I teach. Whether that’s making animal noises in yoga poses, dressing up in drag to teach bootcamp or describing human anatomy in terms of produce there’s always reason for a smile in my classes.
If you’re looking for a teacher who can push you to your limit and still make you laugh you’ve come to the right place! I’d encourage you to sign up for my digital subscription, take one of my recorded classes from there and then register for one of my live classes. Get ready to enjoy yourself!
I did my teacher trainings at Flow Yoga Center, Threes PhysiYoga Method and David Kyle’s Progressive Ashtanga and have been rolling like a ball with my mom (also a fitness instructor) since I was 10 years old. Thanks for being here!
