Welcome to Ananda: a space dedicated to safety, inclusion, and people-centered modalities.

Ananda is a space for everyone to show up as is - perfectly imperfect, ready to shed what is no longer theirs to hold. What we mean by that is - shedding parts of you that were never you.

Providing you with a safe space to grow

Ananda Omaha is an inclusive space to invest in community healing, conveniently located in the heart of Dundee.

In Google Maps, the address will take you behind the brick building - into a parking lot & the entrance to the building is also back there. As you walk in, there’s an elevator straight ahead - press LL - take a right out of the elevator - & walk to the end of the hallway.

FAQs

What does Ananda mean?

Our name stems from the Anandamaya Kosha. The idea of coming back to the core of who you are as a person, your bliss body. The Anandamaya Kosha is the innermost layer of our human experience - the layer made of bliss. It represents our innate wholeness, the part of us untouched by trauma, conditioning, labels or societal norms - releasing survival patterns. It is the layer that trauma may silence, but can never erase.

Bliss is often misunderstood as euphoria or constant happiness - but the traditional meaning is much quieter than that. Anandamaya Kosha is the experience of being at ease in yourself. Not excited, not ecstatic - but simply unbothered & peaceful. The Anandamaya Kosha is the resilent, unbroken part of us that trauma-informed yoga gently gently helps us remember — not through force, but through safety.

What’s with the snake?

The snake moves close to the earth — ancient, aware, & alive. It teaches us that healing is a return, not a race. That we must shed to grow, release to remember.

In this space, the snake is a sacred guide — a symbol of transformation, of life renewing itself again & again. Its shedding is not a loss, but a homecoming. Each layer left behind whispers: you are safe to change.

At Ananda Omaha, the snake honors the wisdom of the body — the truth that healing doesn’t come from force, but from safety, trust & transformation.
