Arlyn Kline, R.N., is certified by UCLA as a health consultant in Integral Nursing. She has been a Registered Nurse since 1975, specializing in psychiatric and holistic modalities. She has been a practitioner and teacher of Chakra Balancing since 1983. 

Arlyn has studied extensively with Rosalyn Bruyere, Brugh Joy, and Swami Muktananda. She was introduced to the ancient yogic system of the chakras when she met Muktananda in 1970 and then studied with him in India and California.  Her experience as a nurse in Ganeshpuri, India in 1978 was her introduction to "braiding" traditional Western medicine with Ayurvedic, homeopathic and other alternative approaches.

The school's name, The Braided Way School of Healing Arts, is derived from a quotation from Angeles Arrien, cultural anthropologist, "We must learn to walk the braided way and bridge different worlds."

Arlyn graduated from the Professional Healer Training Program at the Healing Light Center, California in 1983 under the direction of Rosalyn Bruyere, renowned healer, teacher, and author of Wheels of Light: A Study of the Chakras.

Arlyn's nursing background includes eight years in nutritional medicine in the practice of Alan Gaby, M.D., past president of the American Holistic Medical Association. The emphasis of her work has been to integrate allopathic medicine with alternative and holistic healing modalities.

She has taught the theory and practice of Chakra Balancing in seminars sponsored by the State of Maryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration, and the Schools of Nursing at University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA. She taught a multi-level Chakra Balancing course for seventeen years at the Baltimore School of Massage and for the last seven years at Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, Maryland.

Arlyn synthesizes her many years of study and practice into a unique and lively seminar that is a highly transformational journey.
