Since 1977, the Omaha Yoga School has been guiding students toward physical, mental, and spiritual balance through the practice of Classical Yoga. Now, OYS brings you even more in depth with Hyp-Yoga.

Discover what you can achieve with the power of your mind & your body.



Yoga. In The Spirit It Was Intended.
At the Omaha Yoga School, we teach this ancient, beautiful practice in the spirit it was intended - so it isn't complicated, intimidating or only for the fit and flexible. It is welcoming and non-competitive, yet profound in its ability to touch the practical aspects of daily living. Our classes are intentionally limited to 8 or fewer students in keeping with the time-honored tradition of small, intimate groups. There is no need for any prior experience. You can begin right now, just as you are. It's as simple as that.


Founded in 1977 by Margaret Hahn, and grown by its previous director Meredith Busher, the school is now under the management of the Hyp-Yoga organization. The school still continues its commitment to preserving the Classical (Raja) Yoga tradition as outlined by Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras, which dates between 300B.C. and 300A.D., but now also includes the evolutionary addition of Hyp-Yoga classes.

The wisdom of the classical practice is that it recognizes we are not only physical beings. We are social. We are individuals. We have bodies that must be cared for, but we also have minds and a spirit that must be given as much attention as we give our bodies. The beauty of the practice is that every aspect of a person is addressed and gently guided toward a peaceful inward Silence.

Philosophy. Meditation. Poses. Peace.
More than simply twisting and stretching, yoga is a combination of philosophy, meditation, and poses. Practiced in this way, yoga calms the mind, enlivens the body, and is ultimately a path to self-knowledge. It is the opposite of hectic, pressure-driven days.
