Transform Your Practice
Our reiki course in Rishikesh is a very personal practice where every Reiki healer has a different experience. In the beginning for some people it may be difficult to accept, but in the end it gives a deeply wonderful experience. Whether you join for a single Level I weekend or stay for the full Level I, II and Master pathway, our reiki healing course in Rishikesh is open to beginners, householders, therapists and healthcare professionals alike.
Reiki is an ancient healing practice mentioned in the Vedas and later developed in Japan by Mikao Usui. At Samadhi Yoga Ashram, we present the practice as a path of healing, attunement, discipline and inner transformation - one of the most respected reiki schools in India. To deepen your practice further, pair your Reiki with our 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, study ayurveda and yoga together, or join a yoga and meditation retreat alongside your Reiki training.
Overview Of Reiki
Reiki means Universal Life Energy. Rei means universal or transcendental spirit, and Ki represents life force energy. Out of energy, everything is created, and this universal life force is the activation energy of the universe.
Reiki was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui, who was born on 15 August 1865. He studied with Tendai Buddhist monks, martial arts, medicine, history, psychology and esoteric arts, and his journey shaped the healing system now practiced around the world.
In this training we explore Reiki history, lineage, chakras, aura work, hand positions, symbols, attunements and the deeper spiritual dimensions of healing.

Schedule — Reiki Training in Rishikesh
The daily rhythm of our Reiki Training in Rishikesh is gentle, sacred and deeply healing. Mornings open with pranayama, meditation and a calm Hatha practice to soften the body and steady the breath. Theory sessions cover the Usui lineage, the chakra system, hand positions and the inner mechanics of energy healing. Afternoons unfold into attunements, self-healing rounds and one-to-one practitioner sessions. Evenings close with group sharing, mantra and silent meditation by the Ganga — the ideal rhythm to become a confident, intuitive Reiki healer.
