GoReiki is a beautiful, self-empowering healing practice that can be harnessed and practiced by everyone. Reiki promotes deep relaxation, assists in the body's natural healing processes, and develops emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
In this training, you will learn the history of Reiki, be attuned to the Reiki energy, and learn hand positions for self-treatment and for treating others. During the training, you will practice hands-on with your classmates. You will also receive a comprehensive manual and ongoing support.
Please bring a lunch or snack, plenty of water to drink, and anything else you’ll need to care for yourself throughout the day.

Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC) with adults, teens, groups and couples; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion.
Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith. Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master training and attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander.
Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others. Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping, and psychotherapy sessions.
Holding the World Within: Using The Mat As Sanctuary to Hold Space for Compassion in Action
In times of personal or global unrest, the world shifts in uncertain and overwhelming ways. Many of us carry a quiet, persistent weight; grief, anxiety, and heaviness held in the mind, body, and breath. When the world feels unstable; when basic human needs such as housing, food, healthcare, safety, and dignity are uncertain, it can feel heavy just to breathe.
Yoga is not an escape from life, but a way of meeting it. Yoga is not always about reaching for or presenting at a higher frequency, but about showing up exactly as we are, without judgement. Similar to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, we are reminded that higher states of awareness cannot be sustained when foundational needs remain unmet and injustices persist.
Holding the World Within: Using the Mat as Sanctuary is a heart-centered community-based workshop created to honor yoga as both a personal and collective practice. Rooted in Karma Yoga, selfless action, we explore how inner healing and social responsibility are deeply intertwined. This gathering creates sacred space to tend to our nervous systems while also acknowledging the broader social realities shaping our lives.
Through intentional group connection and embodied practices, we will explore collective healing through:
- Community Process Group/Sharing Circle: A confidential space to speak truth, name grief, fear, anger, anxiety, exhaustion, and be witnessed in compassionate community
- Group Altar: Participants are invited to bring an object that represents freedom, justice, or liberation for all beings
- Guided Journaling: Gentle prompts to support reflection, emotional processing, and integration
- Breathing and Meditation: Grounding practices to regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and build inner resilience
- Trauma-informed yoga: Intentional movement followed by passive gentle stretching to connect with the body and release tension
- Sound Healing: Soothing vibrations from singing bowls, chimes, drums, and tuning forks to support deep rest, nervous system regulation, and energetic harmony
This workshop is for anyone navigating uncertain times, supporting others through hardship, witnessing/ experiencing social injustice, or feeling the emotional, physical, or spiritual toll of living in an unsettled world. All bodies, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome. Return to your mat, your body, your breath, and your community, where we come together for individual and collective healing through practice.
In addition to this in-person workshop, we are offering two opportunities to practice Karma Yoga: community service in action. These offerings extend the work beyond the mat, inviting intention into compassionate and collective action.
- We will be partnering with The Greater Middlesex and Morris Habitat for Humanity to provide an in person volunteer service project at their ReStore in Randolph, NJ on Saturday May 16 from 12 - 4pm.
- We will be collecting food donations at both studios to support The Interfaith Food Pantry in Morris Plains, NJ. Please see the link for needed items. This is open to all members of the Prana Community. We will be collecting donations until May 4, 2026
