300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Take the next step in your YTT journey

You’ve completed your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. Now what? In most cases, a 200-Hour provides the foundations of a Yoga Training. For many, this lights a fire within to learn more on specific topics that are of interest. For some, additional training may be a personal journey of growth. For others, continued studies support a deeper understanding of the teachings to more skillfully share with others.

A holistic approach

Each 300-Hour program will have its own ethos, and it’s important you find one that’s a good fit for you. At OIC we believe that Yoga is for everyone, and the focus of the program is on integrative health and well-being that includes each layer of the Koshas: physical, energetic, mental, and emotional.

We emphasize that each individual is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all alignment or approach. We strive to educate our teachers on the diversity of the human experience, and to see this diversity as a strength, with potential to lead to growth and empowerment for all.

This program is for those who recognize the role of compassion (Ahimsa) within Yoga, those that enjoy respectful conversation and perspective taking, those that see the value in thoughtful inquiry, those that are curious, and those that possess a growth mindset.

Certification

This training is open to those with a 200-Hour and/or 500-Hour Yoga Certification. Upon successful completion of this program, you are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a 500-Hour Yoga Teacher. Many modules are also available to attend live and/or asynchronous via a private Facebook group. In order to receive a 300-Hour Certification, at least 50 percent of hours need to be attended live either virtually or in-person.

Faculty

The faculty of the OIC Yoga School includes some of Omaha’s most educated and experienced teachers. Carole Westerman is the Lead Trainer and will be doing the bulk of the training. Lindsay Decker, Stephanie Watson, and Emily Goodwin will also be part of the training faculty, all three bringing their own impressive education and experience to the table.

Curriculum

Our curriculum is in-depth and varied, allowing some customization in your desired concentration area(s). We know not every topic is for everyone. You can choose which topics interest you most, pay as you go, and build your own unique program. Enrollees have 3 years to complete the program, which is a total of 20 weekends. Some topics may be covered in just one day, but most modules are two days. There will also be the option to attend retreat(s) for hours as well. Our first retreat is in the works for 2024 and will likely be to Bali!
