Reiki Level 1 Training

Reiki Level 1 Training at Hridaya Yoga in Buena Vista, Colorado, is an introduction to reiki, a form of energy healing, for people who want to learn to use it themselves. It suits anyone drawn to hands-on healing practice, whether for personal wellbeing, for supporting family and friends, or for working with animals. The training takes place at the Hridaya Yoga studio in Buena Vista, in the Colorado Rockies.

What to Expect

Reiki is described as an ancient practice used to reduce stress, improve health and quality of life, and support physical and emotional wellbeing. The approach taught here looks at the underlying energetic patterns behind how we feel, and at reconnecting you with your own ability to heal yourself, other people, and animals.

The Level 1 training is built to give you a working practice you can carry into daily life. The aim is to empower you to use reiki to:

- reduce stress
- relieve pain
- balance emotions
- support personal healing and spiritual growth

Level 1 is the first step in a two-part path. A Level 2 reiki training is also offered at the studio, so students who feel called to continue can deepen the work there.

The Setting

Hridaya Yoga is a yoga studio in Buena Vista, a small mountain town in Chaffee County, Colorado. The studio hosts a steady rhythm of workshops, teacher trainings and weekly classes, including a Monday yin and reiki class, so the reiki training sits within a community that already practices together. The intimate scale of a local studio suits a hands-on subject like reiki, where learning happens through quiet attention and practice with others.

Before You Go

Level 1 is the entry point, which makes it the place to begin if you have never studied reiki. If you are curious about energy healing, interested in complementary approaches to stress and pain, or simply want to understand what reiki is by learning it directly, this training is for you.

Because Buena Vista is a mountain town, plan your travel ahead if you are coming from out of the area, and consider arriving the day before if you are traveling a long way. Wear comfortable clothing you can sit and rest in easily, as reiki is a calm, receptive practice.

Registration is handled through the studio, and Level 1 is the right place to start whether you want reiki for yourself, for those close to you, or as the foundation for deeper study.
