Program Details

The Omaha Yoga School's Module Based Yoga Instructor Training

FLEXIBILITY – It's what yogis are known for and is the main goal of our Module Based Training Program. Our Eleven Modules are offered at least twice in one calendar year (these will only run if there are 4+ registrations in one module) so if you can't make a weekend in the schedule, you will have the opportunity to make it up. For the most individualize and flexible training, private sessions are also available for modules at an additional cost.

To complete the 200 hour Yoga Alliance approved training (the program will be registering in March with the YA), you must complete all 11 modules and attend 3 yoga sessions at the Omaha Yoga School as suggested by your trainer (out of town exceptions apply). You may also just complete certain modules for your own personal development even if you do not desire to teach. The Introduction Class (M1) and the Philosophy Class (M9) may be completed with no prerequisites. All Modules are 18 Hours (2 Days, 8 am – 6 pm) except M11, which is only 9 Hours. There will also be required reading for the trainings.
