The Transformational Practice of Reiki
Heal yourself, heal the world. One touch at a time.
This 50-hour Reiki training is a deeply immersive journey designed for anyone who feels called to understand energy more profoundly – whether you’re completely new to Reiki or already working in fields like yoga, wellness, bodywork, or healing arts. Throughout the training, you’ll explore both the practical and intuitive dimensions of Reiki, learning how energy moves, how to sense it, and how to offer it safely and confidently to yourself and others.
You’ll receive attunements that help open and refine your energetic channels, along with guided practices that ground you in the felt experience of Reiki rather than just the theory. The curriculum includes hands-on partner work, self-healing rituals, meditation, gentle movement, intuitive development exercises, and opportunities to practice giving and receiving Reiki in a supportive environment. You’ll develop a heightened awareness of your own energy, deeper emotional clarity, and practical tools for cultivating balance in everyday life.
This training is especially suited for those who want to blend Reiki into their existing practices – such as yoga, coaching, bodywork, or therapeutic work – or for individuals who simply want to build a stronger inner connection and live with more presence and intention. By the end, you’ll feel confident in offering a full Reiki treatment, holding space for others, and trusting the subtle guidance of your intuition.
More than anything, you’ll walk away with a sense of embodiment, empowerment, and a meaningful relationship with Reiki that continues to grow long after the training ends.
Our Lineage & Experience
Our Reiki training is guided by two experienced teachers who each bring years of embodied practice, intuitive wisdom, and deep space-holding to the journey. With backgrounds in yoga, psychology, energy work, and guiding transformative trainings and retreats, Niki and Lena offer a grounded, heart-centered approach rooted in both lived experience and professional expertise.
Their combined lineage includes extensive yoga teacher training, immersive healing education, and years of offering Reiki in private sessions, group settings, and blended into their teaching. Together, they bring over two decades of teaching experience and a profound understanding of how to support students through emotional, energetic, and spiritual growth. This training is shaped by their commitment to authenticity, integrity, and the belief that Reiki is most powerful when it’s shared with presence, care, and deep respect for the individual journey.
The Transformation You Can Expect
Throughout this training, you’ll learn not only how to practice Reiki, but how to integrate it into your life in a way that brings clarity, balance, and emotional grounding. Participants often experience a deeper connection to their intuition, improved energy awareness, and a greater sense of calm and resilience in everyday life. As you receive attunements, practice hands-on techniques, and explore your own energy system, you’ll begin to understand yourself on a more intuitive and embodied level.
Many students leave with a renewed sense of purpose, expanded self-trust, and the confidence to offer Reiki to others—whether in a professional context or simply as a meaningful way to support loved ones. This training offers the tools, practices, and guidance to meet yourself with more honesty and kindness, and to carry that healing presence into the world around you.
What You’ll Be Able to Do After the Training
This is a level 1 & 2 Reiki course. By the end of this 50-hour journey, you’ll feel confident offering Reiki as a complete, intentional practice. You’ll know how to structure a full Reiki session, how to work with energetic boundaries, and how to support someone through a calm, grounding healing experience. You’ll be able to integrate Reiki into yoga classes, bodywork sessions, coaching, or other holistic practices—or simply use it as a powerful tool for your own self-care and emotional wellbeing. Most importantly, you’ll leave with the embodied understanding of how Reiki moves through you, how to trust your intuition, and how to hold space with compassion, clarity, and confidence.
Why Vikasa Reiki?
This is not a surface-level introduction or a quick certification. It’s a deeply experiential training designed to support real inner growth and genuine energetic sensitivity. With two experienced teachers guiding you, you’ll receive close attention, hands-on practice, and supportive feedback throughout the journey.
The training blends grounded technique with intuitive exploration, ensuring that your learning is both practical and deeply felt. We honor the whole person—body, mind, and subtle energy—while offering an inclusive, trauma-sensitive environment grounded in integrity, knowledge, and heart. This combination of depth, professionalism, and warmth is what sets this training apart.
Meet Your Instructors
Lena
Lena found her way to the yoga mat more than 20 years ago, but it wasn’t until 2012—during a period of exhaustion and burnout—that yoga became a true lifeline. What began as a physical practice grew into a path of healing and inner listening, eventually inspiring her to create Solsyster Yoga in Sweden in 2017.
Over time, students consistently noticed something unique in her presence—an unmistakable steadiness, warmth, and supportive quality in her touch. Their reflections led her to explore Reiki, and the moment she began her first training, something clicked. It didn’t feel like learning something new, but like remembering something familiar.
Since then, Reiki has become central to Lena’s work. She approaches each session with deep respect, allowing energy to move organically while she listens with all of her senses. For many clients, time with Lena becomes a moment of release, clarity, and reconnection.
Lena continues to grow alongside her Reiki practice, carrying it into her life with the same devotion she brings to yoga: gently, humbly, and with trust in the body’s innate wisdom.
Niki
Niki has been part of the Vikasa Academy team for the past eight years, guiding trainings and retreats with steadiness, clarity, and genuine care for her students’ growth. She believes deeply in yoga’s transformative potential and approaches teaching as a vocation—supporting others to return to themselves through curiosity and compassion. With a background in psychology, she blends the physical and subtle aspects of yoga to create practices that are both grounding and expansive.

Our Student Reviews
Yoga Teacher Trainings at Vikasa are not just about getting a certificate – you’re getting personal development and become part of an inspiring community. Trainings can be literally life-changing / earth-shattering experiences; and that’s all down to the beautiful souls they attract.
Here are just a few reviews from recent guests.
Taking a Reiki session with Niki was genuinely life-changing.
When I decided to participate, it was because I was unfamiliar with Reiki, and was simply curious to see what it was like, no other intentions. The experience helped me understand my nervous system in a completely new way—especially how energy blockages can form, and how tuning into them with intention and compassion can begin a process of healing that’s deeply personal and self-led.
Julie, US
I have taken many reiki sessions with Lena and I always feel safe.
The experience tends to differentiate depending on what I need – sometimes pain is being relieved, sometimes I get into a state of deep relaxation and sometimes I feel energised and recharged. Usually a session also holds space for me to let go of things that might be holding me back, leaving me feeling more open and receptive. I also appreciate the conversation afterwards which gives me guidance to move forward.
Chatrine, Sweeden
For five years I’ve been receiving Reiki healing regularly by Lena.
The sessions make me feel deeply relaxed, balanced, and more in tune with myself. Lena’s calming energy and intuitive approach helps me to release blockages, reduce stress and to find more clarity. I highly recommend her Reiki healing to anyone looking for a peaceful reset and overall well-being.
Jenny, Sweden
Frequently Asked Questions
Browse the FAQ or get in touch with one of our instructors for personal assistance.
Vikasa is located in Koh Samui, Thailand. Vikasa is located in the south east of the island, close to Lamai and approximately 20 minutes by taxi from Koh Samui International Airport (USM).
The best way to get to Vikasa is to fly into Koh Samui International Airport (USM). There are daily flights into Koh Samui from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and others. Alternatively, the Vikasa team can also arrange your pick up from the airport. Flying is the quickest route, but tourists and yoga enthusiasts can also travel by train and ferry which takes approximately 13.5 hours.
This will depend on where you are from. For details of Thailand’s visa arrangements with specific countries see here.
Although tourist visas are generally required, there is an exemption for travelers from 30 countries (Australia, UK, USA, France, Germany, Sweden and others) who wish to travel to Thailand for 30 days or less. If you are a citizen of one of these countries you do not need to obtain a visa. Note that if you plan to stay for longer than 30 days, it is possible to obtain a short extension from the immigration office on Koh Samui at some point during your stay.
If you are not a citizen of one of the countries with which Thailand has specific visa exemption or waiver arrangements, you will need to obtain a 30, 60 or 90 day tourist visa before arriving in Thailand
Anyone is welcome to join this 50 Hour Yoga Training. You do not need to be a yoga teacher and there are no prerequisites to join.

Koh Samui is a beautiful tropical island located in the Gulf of Thailand. It is approximately 90 minutes from the mainland via ferry, but is easily accessible via airplane. It has key infrastructure such as a small international airport, good medical facilities (including hospitals), banking facilities (including ATMs), good wifi coverage and good roads. It is possible to drive around the entire island in around 90 minutes, and visitors generally either travel via scooter or taxi as walking is difficult. Vikasa is located between Chaweng Noi and Lamai in a quiet area of the island. It is possible to walk from Vikasa to nearby beaches, but guests generally stay on the Vikasa premises or rent scooters or taxis for trips to nearby markets and shopping malls. The weather is generally hot year round, with temperatures often around 30 degrees celsius. This breathtaking island provides a perfect environment for practicing yoga due to its remote setting, natural surroundings, beautiful beaches, and untouched seas.
