What is Kriya Massage?
Kriya uses energy patterns that are spirals, figure eights and circles. The affect is a continuous flow with the hands always in contact with the person's body. The Kriya massage goes through four cycles within the massage. There is the connection (centripetal energy), the interaction (centrifugal energy), the grounding (gravity energy), and then the bringing life into the movement (electromagnetic energy) until you release it at the time of completion. Utilizing the four forces causes a rotation of energy to create a circle as a pathway for the experience.  

Is your school accredited?
We are not accredited. Accreditation is a non governmental, voluntary, peer evaluation process. Accrediting agencies should not be confused with membership associations or state regulations.  Individual states license institutions that meet the standards prescribed by statutes and regulation implemented  through the adoption of state laws.We are a state licensed school. Completing the massage program allows you to sit for an exam administered by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) in some states to fulfill their testing requirements. Massage licensing, however, depends on what state you live in and whether there are state, county or town regulations. There is no national certification that allows you to work anywhere in the country. Each state with licensure has its own requirements and application process.

How much does it cost?
The 500 hour Kriya massage program currently is around $4500. For more information on the cost of the 756 and 1000 hour Kriya massage program as well as all the various programs of study, view the course catalog.

How long will it take?
Our schools have continuous classes year round with no set "semesters". Each individual class is a two-day intensive seminar unless otherwise noted. The program is flexible and the students determine how often they attend classes and at what pace they complete their program. The completion time quoted in the catalog is the average time it takes.
