Polarity Training
About Polarity Training
Polarity Therapy is the practical application of understanding that everything is animated by energy. The way we express ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally is energy at work. This energy is also known as Vital Force, Prana and Chi. With training we can see, feel and use this Vital Force to bring health and fulfillment.
Accumulated stress and tension through work and relationships can deaden feeling and inhibit our life from moving forward with ease and confidence. The Polarity Process supports the release of tension, fear and pain, literally freeing us from the past and enabling us to be more focused in the present.
Dr. Randolph Stone developed Polarity Therapy. As a Doctor of Chiropractic and Osteopathy, and familiar with the naturopathic traditions of Europe, he spent his latter life in India studying Ayrvedic Medicine. Dr. Stone's genius lay in his ability to see the essential principles unifying diverse approaches to healing. Polarity Therapy is the study and application of those principles, with profound results.
"I can tell this work will be a very powerful journey for me. Thank you for offering this work to the world, it is truly profound."

Our modules are well-developed and are four days in length. Each module has a specific focus and then includes progressive units in support areas such as nutrition, assessment, business, anatomy, Polarity exercises, communication, and related elective areas.
All modules are organized so they blend Polarity bodywork, specific protocols, theory, and energetic anatomy based on the teachings of Dr. Randolph Stone.
The program includes special topics and units within each module that will give the student competencies in related healthcare areas. Experts in their field teach these specialty classes.
Class modules meet for 4 days every other month. Each module comprises a level of training that is a progression to the next. Ten levels are required for certification.

"I'm writing to say thank you for three amazing days! Although, I have been through the APP training, the learning this time around has been incredible. Although I did know the material, I came to understand it in a totally different way. My experience of the elements was entirely different than in the initial APP training. It was deeper, more fluid and more meaningful. Thank you for such a profound experience of Polarity!"
