Carole Westerman

I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Psychology, and have worked in various non-profits over the years. I currently work full-time at Omaha Integrative Care as both the Director of Yoga Training Programs and as a Patient Navigator. Travels to India have been an integral part of my education and experience of Yoga. Each of the four times I’ve been to India I have immersed myself in the study of Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Philosophy, History, and the Spirituality of the birthplace of Yoga. In addition to my formal Yoga Training, I have also been certified in Thai Yoga Massage, Thai Reflexology, and Master Reiki. I have been trained as a Registered Behavioral Technician, Childbirth Educator, Parent Educator and Doula. I am also a Clinical EFT Tapping Practitioner, and am consistently furthering my education and advancing my studies in all things health. Currently, I am in the midst of my studies at Duke University, completing a program in their Integrative Medicine Department on Health and Wellbeing Coaching. Carole Westerman’s mission is to bring yoga to everyone! In addition to her full-time position as Director of Yoga Training Programs with Omaha Integrative Care, Carole is also on Teacher Training faculty of several Yoga schools and travels to teach nationally and internationally. Carole teaches online classes with YogaGlo. Carole teaches her own eclectic blend of yoga, combining elements of Vinyasa, Iyengar, Hatha, and Kundalini. Each class is a unique experience designed to compliment the seasons and the needs of the students. Most classes include pranayama, and/or meditation and all of her classes include a relaxing final relaxation/ Savasana. For Carole, yoga is a living and ever expanding practice, that changes according to what is needed for the evolution of the soul. She wholeheartedly believes that yoga is not just a practice we do on our mats, it’s a practice we do each day and with each breath. Living yoga is what resonates with Carole; taking the skills, challenges, successes, and experiences we have on our mats, and applying them to our everyday lives. Carole believes, that as we align our bodies in poses, we are actually aligning ourselves with our greater purpose. As we flow, we are actually learning to ride the ups and downs of life with grace and ease. For Carole, even the music in the room serves as a shared language and vibration that actually bonds the students together in a way that words cannot. All of these elements and more come together in Carole’s teachings; weaving together a complex and beautiful tapestry that becomes the fabric of our living yoga. Carole hopes that yoga helps to unite your heart and soul, and that your mind and body become open to the vast experiences that life has to offer. Come explore the vast array of yoga teachings with Carole, as she truly believes yoga will change your life and the lives of your students.
