Why Magnetism in Los Angeles?
If New York is where modalities are exported, Los Angeles is where many of them were first imported. The city's relationship with holistic practice goes back decades: Esalen is up the coast, the human-potential movement passed through here, and today LA holds the largest concentration of yoga teachers, energy practitioners, and somatic facilitators on the West Coast. Our Los Angeles students tend to be entertainment-industry professionals, healthcare workers, and parents — people whose sense of timing is intimate with the rhythms of attention and recovery.
For students of Magnetism specifically, Los Angeles's scene is a particularly good match: highest concentration of holistic professionals on the west coast. strong appetite for movement and somatic work. The local cohort runs in venue partners around Venice, Silver Lake, Pasadena, with public transit and parking accessible from across the metro.
LA applicants are often 30-50, with backgrounds in entertainment (writers, producers, post-production professionals), tech, healthcare, or hospitality. Many already hold a yoga teacher certification (RYT-200 or higher) and want a complementary credential to broaden their offering and stabilize their income through varied modalities. Others are healthcare workers (nurses, OTs, physical therapists) seeking a non-clinical sister practice. The LA student tends to be process-oriented, embodied, and unusually willing to do the slow somatic work that distinguishes our program.
What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Magnetism as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
Magnetism is a hands-on energetic practice with European roots, particularly French and Belgian, that traces its modern formulation to the work of Franz Anton Mesmer in the late 1700s. Although Mesmer's specific theory of "animal magnetism" was scientifically discredited, the practical hands-on tradition he initiated was refined and continued by generations of practitioners — particularly in France, Belgium, Spain, and parts of South America — and remains a vital wellness modality in those regions today.
A magnetism session looks deceptively simple. The practitioner stands beside the seated or lying recipient and uses a series of slow, intentional hand movements — passes, sweeps, transfers, localized contact — to support the recipient's energetic regulation. Where Reiki tends to settle the practitioner into a still, neutral state, magnetism is more dynamic: the practitioner is actively giving, drawing, sweeping, redirecting. The traditional descriptions speak of giving fluide, drawing it back, redistributing it.

When Magnetism cohorts run in Los Angeles.
LA cohorts run on a tri-annual cadence (January, May, September), with year-round consistency thanks to the climate. The summer cohort tends to attract more entertainment-industry professionals between projects; the September cohort attracts more career-changers timing their pivot to a fall start. Every in-person session is a full day, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; there are no evening classes.
Who this Los Angeles cohort is for.
Career-changers and practitioners drawn to a structured, traditional, hands-on energetic practice with a strong professional container.
