"A spiritual teacher reflects your soul, the more effective the teacher, the clearer the reflection. Lizzy is an exceptionally effective teacher. I began the course with minimal yoga asana practice; however, I have been meditating for many years and working in India as a visiting professor. I was ambivalent about taking the course as I was a 56 year-old, overweight man with minimal flexibility. Lizzy assured me that I would be welcome and that she would work with me. After completing the course, I went to a new yoga studio yesterday. The teacher asked me if I had done yoga before and I told her “some.” At the end of class, she looked over to me and said, “You’ve done more than some yoga!” I told her that I had completed the RYT 200 program. She told me that by the second asana she knew something was up; no man was normally that flexible. Lizzy’s course was transformational for me far beyond the body, however. I have noticed that as soon as a negative feeling such as anger or depression arises, I become aware of it. I then know I have a choice to continue with it or let it pass. Less importantly, I’ve noticed the same with my body. If tension is being held anywhere, I notice that and also have a choice to relax. I plan to continue with her to the next 300 hour program."

"This school was awesome! The class was set up well, very good structure, the instructor would take extra time to work with us. She utilized a lot of technology in her class, websites and stuff, which made it convenient to learn."

"Urban Bliss is led by Elizabeth Hoffmann. Lizzy is an amazing teacher, not only wise and knowledgeable but compassionate too. Lizzy's wisdom is vast, not only because she knows the information and the facts but because she walks the talk. In my humble opinion, this is crucial, in wherever space we perform. But most importantly in the yoga space, where people come to us teachers as a form of leaders, or guides or coaches. We have to lead by example and this is exactly what Lizzy does. I learned so much during this training, in terms of helping people dealing with disease or illnesses or just states of being. Every person can benefit from yoga and this training was about being able to bring yoga to every single person, regardless of their state. I am so excited to share this knowledge with others and help make their lives better, happier and more fulfilling. Thank you, Lizzy!"

"Enrolling in Urban Bliss' teacher training was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am so grateful that it was affordable which made this opportunity possible. The experience changed my life and I can truly say I am a better person and yogini because of it. Lizzy is an extraordinarily dynamic teacher. She is tough but in a way that is compassionate and filled with love. She genuinely wants you to learn what yoga is and how to live a yogic life. I loved this training because it was not just learning the physical aspect but also the mental and spiritual as well. One of my favorite parts of it was the seva project, and the relationships that were built with my follow classmates through sharing journal entries and developing sequences that were taught in front of the entire class. Because of having to teach in front of the class, I feel that this experience has prepared me to teach in a studio with a little less anxiety. Lizzy teaches you how to organically sequence a class and the importance of being prepared with encouragement and grace. This experience will always have a special place in my heart along with Lizzy and my fellow yogis/yoginis. Namaste!"

"I waited 26 years to train under someone like Lizzy Hoffman. What an incredible fountain of life experience and knowledge she brings to this incredible school. A true yogi...not caught up in the hype...but truly teaching the philosophy, history and lineage. She is a gift to her students and to the yoga world. If you are lucky enough to be in the Florida or Charlotte area...run...don't walk to sign up for this life changing experience whether you want to teach or just deepen your practice with one of the best. Peace, light...and love."
