Class Information

We offer classes in Basic Hypnosis, Advanced Hypnosis, as well as Stage Entertainment Hypnosis. The Institute offers Continuous Education Units which are approved by most independent certifying organizations and many other Special Interest Classes through the Hypnosis Institute of Houston.

The director of this program is Dr. Doug Yost. He is a truly talented teacher who can not only teach, but entertain and hold the complete attention of a large class for hours on end. I challenge you to find one single student of his that will tell you that he did not give it 100% of his time and effort to make sure they learn hypnosis.

All classes are approved by the American Board of Hypnotherapy
and taught by ABH certified instructors.

Please contact Dr. Doug Yost for in depth details or brochures regarding all classes.
