Reiki for Yoga Teachers (online)
This fall, I’ll be offering a special online Reiki training just for yoga teachers.
As a yoga teacher, you are already familiar with the subtle body and chakra system. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that aligns seamlessly with yoga’s holistic philosophy, providing a new layer of connection and support for your students. Whether offering hands-on adjustments infused with healing energy or using Reiki techniques in Savasana, this training equips you with tools to create a deeper, more nurturing experience for yourself and everyone in your classes.
This course is in the Usui Tibetan Reiki lineage and is open to yoga teachers of all styles and experience levels. No prior Reiki experience is required—just an open heart and a desire to bring more healing and balance into your practice.
I’ll be offering Reiki levels 1-3, although you can sign up for Reiki one as a standalone.
This will be a small cohort, so sign up to be the first to know when it launches.
