Online Reiki Course in the UK: How Can You Learn Reiki Online with a Dubai-Based Teacher?

Yes, you can learn reiki online from the UK with a Dubai-based teacher. An online reiki course with Dr S Pujah combines live classes, guided self-practice and time for questions, scheduled around the time difference between the UK and Dubai. You learn the hand positions, self-reiki and the principles from your own home, then practise daily between sessions.

Many people in the UK look for reiki teaching that fits around work, family and the commute. Learning online removes the need to travel to a class, and the UK's long winter evenings are a natural time to build a home practice.

How an online reiki course works from the UK

An online course follows the same steps as an in-person one, adapted for the screen:

1. Foundations. What reiki is, where it comes from, the five reiki principles and how a session is structured.
2. Self-reiki. The hand positions for working on yourself, practised live with guidance.
3. Practice for others. At later levels, how to offer a session to a family member or friend in the same room, and how distance reiki is approached in the tradition.
4. Daily practice. A short routine to follow every day between classes, with a simple journal to note what you notice.
5. Questions and review. Time in each class to ask questions and share your experience.

Reiki is a practice for relaxation and self-awareness. It is not a medical treatment, and it does not replace a doctor or any other qualified health professional.

Time zones: when UK students join

Dubai does not change its clocks. The UK is four hours behind Dubai in winter and three hours behind when British Summer Time begins in late March. That makes scheduling simpler than many people expect:

• a Dubai mid-afternoon class is late morning or lunchtime in the UK, good for weekends;
• a Dubai evening class falls in the UK late afternoon or early evening, after the school run or before dinner;
• remember to check class times again when the UK clocks change in March and October.

Building a reiki practice in a UK home

Daily self-practice is where most of the learning happens. A few tips suit UK homes and routines:

• Use the dark evenings. From October to March it gets dark early. A fixed twenty-minute practice after work, with soft lighting, becomes a calming habit through the winter.
• Keep warm and still. Sitting or lying still for twenty minutes can feel cold in a draughty room. A blanket and warm socks help you stay relaxed.
• Use the commute. If you travel by train or bus, read your course notes or reflect on the principles on the way, then practise when you get home.
• Find a small space. A corner of a bedroom or living room is enough. Keep a cushion, your journal and a glass of water there.

What to check before choosing an online reiki course

Whichever teacher you choose, it helps to ask a few clear questions:

• Are classes live, recorded or a mix, and how much time is there for your questions?
• How many practice hours are expected between levels?
• What support is there after the course ends?
• If you plan to offer reiki to others professionally in the UK, check the voluntary registers and the insurance requirements that apply to complementary practitioners there before you start, so you know what you will need.

A career in healing, built step by step

Some UK students learn reiki purely for their own wellbeing. Others are exploring a career in healing alongside their current job. A sensible path is to start with self-practice, complete each level properly, build your practice hours with friends and family, and only then think about offering sessions. Many students also add a related course, such as chakra work or aromatherapy, to deepen their understanding. Learning online makes it possible to study with one teacher for every step, wherever you live.

Try this before your first class

Sit comfortably, place both hands lightly on your upper chest and breathe slowly for three minutes. Notice warmth, coolness or any sensation in your hands, without judging it. Then write two lines in a notebook about what you noticed. This simple exercise prepares you for the self-reiki practice you will learn in the course.

Questions UK students often ask

Students in the UK often ask whether online learning feels as real as being in the room. Most find that the live format, with a teacher watching their practice and answering questions in real time, gives them the structure they need, while practising in their own home helps the routine stick. Others ask how long each level takes. That depends on your pace and the practice hours you complete, which is why each level includes clear self-practice steps before you move on.
