Making yoga accessible to all

At OIC, we strive to make yoga accessible to everyone. We keep our class sizes small so we can offer the best instruction and the safest environment. Our mission is to honor and share the ancient traditions of the practice. Our program is unique to the Omaha area, teaching yoga within our integrative environment gives us the ability to offer several healing modalities under one roof. If you are seeking a traditional practice in a calm, healing, and integrative environment, this is the place for you.

We require masks in our building.  You can remove your mask while on your yoga mat. 

Please email our Wellness Director Stephanie Watson with any questions!

Weekly Drop-in Classes

Gentle Yoga

This class is the perfect opportunity to practice yoga in a nourishing and mindful way.  Class will teach the foundational and traditional aspects of yoga, which include postures, breathing, relaxation, and meditation. This class moves at a slow and gentle pace. Class is taught by Paula Savatovic.

Who is this class for? Anyone who prefers a traditional yoga class that is slow and gentle.

Slow Flow Yoga

This class, taught by Carole Westerman, is designed to help create balance in your body, mind, and nervous system. Our Slow Flow format is a blend of styles, so you get a little bit of what you want, and a little bit of what you didn’t even know you needed. We typically start off slow and close to the ground with Yin-style poses that will imprint the shape of our focus area or pose. From there, we begin to move and add in a bit of Flow with plenty of options given for all levels. We end the class with a few counterposes, and/or Restorative poses, and from there we drift into a sweet Savasana in order to integrate after our practice.

Who is this class for? Anyone who likes trying different yoga postures while challenging themselves with new techniques.

Stretch & Meditate

Practiced mostly on the ground, this class is all about increasing flexibility by holding stretches and breathing. This Yin style of yoga nourishes the tissues and joints of the body and is also a deeply meditative practice. The class honors the yogic concept of pratyahara, or “withdrawal of senses,” by not using any background music and instead practicing in silence. Class is taught by Stephanie Watson.

Who is this class for? Students who are looking for a class that will improve flexibility, who want to learn how to meditate, and/or who need to stretch and recover from other activities.

Outdoor Yoga

Our Saturday morning Outdoor Yoga class takes advantage of the weather, nature, and our connection to Earth. Each class will guide you through a variety of yoga poses to build strength, stamina, flexibility, and balance. This unique class is taught by Lauren Sustaita  and Tracy Astorino.

Yoga & Sound Bath

Taught by Dandilion Davenport, this class offers the perfect balance of movement and stillness.
