Tres Ositos Yoga and Reiki

I began Tres Ositos Yoga and Reiki to help increase equity in wellness and healing spaces.

​

These spaces have a history of decentering or erasing the experiences and knowledge of practitioners and students who do not fit a particular ideal and inhibit the diversity of individuals seeking to learn and resource services and offerings. ​

​

Tres Ositos Yoga and Reiki is committed to being a dynamic and collaborative space to create loving communities everywhere and anywhere we find ourselves.

 

Thank you for visiting! 

Tres Ositos Yoga and Reiki

My Journey 

​

I could not afford to practice yoga or access other healing modalities for most of my life. Once I could afford to do so, I didn't always see myself represented in well-intentioned spaces. 

​​​

In 2020, life began to shift for me and so many others in the world due to the pandemic. I recognized it was time to reevaluate and renew my purpose, so I completed the 300-hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training and began my Reiki journey. In 2022, I became a Karuna Reiki Master and Animal Reiki Master. I have received training in Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Radiant Child Yoga and recently completed the University of Vermont's Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula Professional Certificate program. I also work in higher education as an administrator.

 

For those who are interested, I hope this space and offerings connect with you and support your journey. So, let's get started and work together to serve one another, follow our individual and collective guidance, and engage in this beautiful work as a community! 

​

I am forever thankful to my beautiful human and Osito family. I am grateful for all my beloved teachers (past, present, and future).

Each One, Teach One

"Each One, Teach One" is an African-American proverb from the era of slavery in the United States. Those who acquired literacy took on the courageous responsibility of teaching others, despite significant risk. This principle has since become a powerful guide in education and mentorship, demonstrating the transformative impact of sharing knowledge for the greater good.

 

We strive to honor the spirit of "Each One, Teach One" by being mindful of the history connected to this proverb. We are dedicated to providing opportunities to learn and share healing in service to our beloved community. It is not enough to offer these services and programs; Tres Ositos Yoga & Reiki is committed to ensuring accessibility and knowledge sharing. We work together to support collective well-being while honoring the lineages, ancestors, and rich cultural history that inspire us.​

 

With this vision in mind, Tres Ositos Yoga & Reiki is focused on:

  • Honoring Historical Context:

    • Ensure that all offerings and training are rooted in cultural and historical awareness, respecting the rich heritage from which these practices originate.

  • Promoting Accessibility:

    • Guarantee that healing services and educational opportunities are available to all community members by addressing and removing obstacles or barriers.

  • Fostering Community Care:

    • Build a supportive and nurturing environment that reflects community values and actively promotes collective well-being.

  • Encouraging Knowledge Sharing and Continuous Learning:

    • Develop and implement programs that facilitate the exchange of knowledge and skills in energy healing and yoga. Provide ongoing educational opportunities to support personal growth and professional development for both participants and practitioners.

  • Supporting Collective Well-Being:

    • Collaborate with others to enhance the overall well-being of the community through inclusive and compassionate approaches to healing and personal development.

Reiki Share @ Newark Center for Meditative Culture
Saturday, August 17th
10:00-11:30 am

In our world, we experience and feel the weight of collective energy. The global and daily stressors of life surround each of us. Group Reiki is an opportunity to gather in the sacred space of the community to receive energetic healing and restoration to help find our individual and collective understanding of our lives.

These 90-minute sessions are perfect for anyone interested in experiencing Holy Fire® Reiki energy healing. Each session begins with a guided experience, and each person will receive a mini Reiki energy healing treatment. Afterward, participants are invited to share their experiences and ask questions.

Please note: While Reiki is known as a hands-on practice, participants who do not want touch can receive treatment hands-off (hovering).

Holy Fire® Reiki III Classes

Holy Fire® Reiki is a type of Reiki energy and system of Reiki healing. Holy Fire® is powerful and gentle and provides purification, healing, empowerment, and guidance. William Rand first experienced Holy Fire® Reiki energy in 2014 and followed the guidance received to share this energy with his Reiki Master class a few days later. William recently experienced a new expression of Reiki energy in 2022, known as World Peace Reiki, in response to worldwide conflicts, such as in Ukraine. Students who register for training with me will receive the Placement for Holy Fire® III Reiki and Ignition for World Peace Reiki. 


Animal Reiki energy is its own energy. The placement will unify the Animal Reiki energy with your existing Reiki energy and symbols. It is a beautiful way to connect with animals and nature and provides a deeper relationship and connection to the Earth.
