I found the Razz YTT program to be comprehensive, rewarding and fun! Lisa was a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher, and Heather did an excellent job managing the logistics of the program. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience!

Razz YTT was stellar. Heather, the studio owner and program director went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions and needs were met. She made the studio available to us for practice sessions and was always there to offer support and guidance. Lisa, the lead teacher, was amazing. Lisa was so knowledgeable and passionate about everything yoga. Her compassion and love for yoga was evident in her teaching and she truly cared about each and everyone of us. She always had a positive attitude and made each training weekend so informative and enjoyable. All the guest teachers were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter they were teaching us and were always available if we had questions during the YTT. I had the best experience and am so grateful to have met and learned from such incredible teachers. I am so pleased to have trained in such a caring and compassionate environment. Razz YTT changed my life!

Razz Yoga's Hatha Raja Teacher Training program under the direction of Yogini Kali Om (Gabrielle Sulc) was excellent! It was a life changing experience and I feel fully capable of beginning to teach yoga classes.

LOVED MY TEACHER AND THE STUDIO!! An amazing studio with such a big heart and passion to share yoga to the community.

Rachel

I had a wonderful experience completing my RYT-200 at Razz with Lauren O'Brien. Lauren was a wonderful instructor who truly caed about the integrity of the yoga practice and communicated that to her students. I really increased my knowledge of yoga and am confident incorporating yoga it into my OT practice on a regular basis! Loved Razz, Heather, and Lauren. They were all wonderful!

Melissa

Lauren is a wonderful teacher and trainer. I immediately connected with her from the first class. I hope that her kind, compassionate way of teaching will be reflected in my own teaching. I think this program is unique in that the entire studio community supports trainees throughout the 9 months. Trainees are able to assist in Lauren's weekly public community class very early on in the program. This was especially helpful for me to practice teaching while learning with the guidance of our trainer.

Heather

Lauren, was always available, during and after sessions. Having that experience with her was life changing in many ways, I look forward to more classes and sessions to come with her. A life changing journey.... now I would like to share that with others.

Lauren O'Brien is one of a kind. She is not just an incredibly skilful yoga teacher but an open minded and hearted human being beyond belief. Lauren delivers exactly what she promises: to make you find your own voice as a yoga teacher and to be confident to put a class together by the end of her Intensive Teacher Training. I am thankful and grateful to have completed my RYT 200 With Lauren O' Brien. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone interested becoming a yoga teacher.

It is difficult to put into words all of the strengths of this teacher training program. The incredibly knowledgeable and supportive instructor, the close-knit group of students, the warm and friendly studio environment--it all felt like to perfect fit for me. Through this training, I not only learned about the art of teaching yoga. I also learned the art of taking care of myself. It has truly been a transformational experience that has made me a better wife, mom, person, and now also a yoga teacher.

Razz Yoga offered a great setting for learning the art of teaching yoga. Lauren was a great instructor full of wisdom and personality to study under. It was beautiful to see how the students came together in full support of each other during this time.

This was an awesome experience! Great studio, teacher, and fellow students made this learning experience meaningful and fun. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wishes to learn more about yoga, deepen their practice and share it with others.

Julie

Lauren was an amazing teacher, I arrived hoping to become a better yoga practitioner. I left as a teacher; confident and comfortable in my own practice, ready and able to share the yoga gift with others. She inspired and supported me throughout and remains with me each time I step on my mat.

Siobhan

I had the honor and the privilege of completing my 200 hour teacher training in Razz Yoga's first teacher training program. Lauren was a very knowledgeable and graceful leader; I look forward to the opportunity to continue learning from her in the years to come. Razz Yoga is beautiful space that brings a wonderful community of yogis, friends and family together.

Excellent studio space and a very amicable atmosphere. The owner Heather has a great vibe and the whole atmosphere of the studio in keeping with the overall philosophy of yoga.

Mahua

This was a transformational experience for me.  The spiritual connection between the pranayama, meditation and asana practice was an awakening that I will carry the rest of my life.  I have started a daily practice that is more fulfilling than most classes.  And I have the confidence from my knowledge and practice that I could teach most class levels.  The love, energy and community of the program was world class.  In my opinion Gabrielle is one of the best teachers anywhere.    And this is the testimony of a 64 year old so this is a program for all ages.

Having just completed the Razz YTT 200 hour training program, I’m so grateful to have been a part of this experience!  Committing to the program was a stretch for me personally and I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  Lisa Shealey’s curriculum was so comprehensive and her teaching style was thoughtful and interesting. I learned so much more than I could have imagined about yoga philosophy, history and practice.  Beyond that, I learned how to teach my own yoga class, using my voice and the skills that Lisa and her partners shared with us over the past six months.  If you’re pondering taking a yoga teacher training program, I wholeheartedly recommend the Razz program taught by Lisa Shealey. Beyond the actual training elements,  the community that she and Heather created for the program was warm, welcoming and fun!

Joyce

YTT at Razz far exceeded my expectations, although I also learned that while you learn so much in the 200 hour, there is sooo much more to learn. I want to keep going! Beginning with Heather the owner of Razz…she creates a relaxed, welcoming and supportive atmosphere in her studio. Our lead instructor Lisa is very knowledgeable, warm, and humble.  We all love being in her presence. The guest teachers who led workshops were a terrific addition. My fellow students… what a wonderful, diverse group! I loved getting to know each of them. 

YTT was challenging, it involved so much more than I expected, was incredibly fulfilling. I’m grateful for the experience and for connecting with this community.

Leslie

The YTT was life changing for me. It has been something I've thought about for a long time and it just seemed like the perfect timing finally. I remember the first weekend thinking, wow this is a lot I can't imagine teaching and preparing a 60 minute sequence. Lisa said to me "trust in the process" and wow she was so right - that simple phrase made me live in the present time and trust in myself. When It came time for me to do my 60 minute sequence I was prepared and ready because I listened and trusted in the process. I meet such amazing teachers and life long friends. Every weekend was so special I couldn't wait for the next. I learned so much about myself and yoga. The training allowed me to be vulnerable and my true authentic self in a safe space with the most genuine people. We were all different in many ways but came together as one which was so heartfelt. I have such excitement and passion more than ever to share my love of yoga to others because on this YTT! 

Jeannine

I came to this training with goals to become a yoga teacher and hopefully add that skill set to my professional portfolio.  I have been practicing for over a decade, but never imagined how much knowledge and connection I would gain not only in my own practice, but to a community of other yoga students and teachers.  I felt encouraged and supported by all through the whole experience, which made it a joy to be part of and I truly looked forward to each one of the weekends.  I feel honored to have been a part of this program at Razz and so much gratitude for the whole community there for welcoming me in.  I can say that this program has only made me more passionate about learning more and continuing to deepen my practice and I look forward to sharing it with others as I continue this journey.
