Why Magnetism in New York?
New York's wellness market is unlike any other in the country: it's where modalities are tested, refined, and exported. The five boroughs hold thousands of yoga studios, several hundred spas, and a thriving network of independent practitioners working in everything from Reiki to expressive arts. The career-changers who train with us in New York typically come from finance, media, fashion, and tech — they've spent a decade or more in highly cognitive work and want a practice that puts them back in the body, with their hands, in front of real people. Public transit makes attendance from across the metro realistic for full training days, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
For students of Magnetism specifically, New York's scene is a particularly good match: highest density of yoga studios per capita in the u.s. strong demand for in-person, lineage-aware training. The local cohort runs in venue partners around DUMBO, Williamsburg, NoMad, with public transit and parking accessible from across the metro.
New York applicants tend to be 35-50 years old, often coming from a decade or more in finance, law, media, fashion, advertising, or tech. Many have stable income, well-developed personal yoga or meditation practices, and clear evidence in their lives that the office-driven life is not sustainable. They are sophisticated consumers of wellness content and skeptical of training that overpromises. They want lineage clarity, real practice hours, and a credential they can speak about credibly with the friends and former colleagues they expect to bring as their first paying clients.
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.
