Somatic Polarity
Our Somatic Polarity Program is one of the most in-depth and sought after in the country. Our RPP and APP curricula are approved by the American Polarity Therapy Association (APTA), and are designed and taught by experienced teachers and leading practitioners in fields such as Bodywork, Oriental Medicine, Ayurveda, Craniosacral Therapy, Yoga, Nutrition, and Counseling. The APP program is an 8 week course of study. The RPP program can be completed in 6 months, or in 8 months if you choose to extend your Student Clinic practicum. Courses include Polarity Bodywork and Theory, Energetic Nutrition, Anatomy, Physiology, Communication & Ethics, Business and Professional Development, Clinic Training, Clinic Practicum, Intro to Trauma, and Craniosacral Therapy.
NMAHA’s Somatic Polarity Program offers students a truly exceptional curriculum, as well as a profound opportunity for personal exploration and growth. Lectures, demonstrations, audiovisuals and techniques that address the range of kinesthetic, visual and auditory learning styles make classes rewarding and enjoyable. The Student Polarity Clinic allows students to practice what they learn throughout the program, and to observe the measureable change that’s affected during their work with repeat clients. This equal emphasis on in-class learning and hands-on work provides a special depth of study and experience, and gives graduates of the program unique preparation for working in private practice and in association with other health-care providers.
Polarity Therapy is a comprehensive healing modality that combines deep physical and energetic work to create ease and health in the body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Randolph Stone developed Polarity as a synthesis of Western healing techniques such as chiropractic, osteopathy, naturopathy and craniosacral therapy and ancient Eastern healing systems such as Indian Ayurveda, yoga and reflexology. Bringing together energy-based bodywork, diet, exercise, counseling and self-awareness practices, Polarity can relieve pain, resolve symptoms of trauma, increase relaxation and stress management, support healthy relationships, and enhance overall physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Polarity applies scientific principles of energy movement to map the way energy moves in the body. All matter and all form is composed of energy. When the body’s natural state of energy movement becomes blocked or imbalanced due to stress, trauma or other factors, pain and disease arise on physical, mental, and emotional levels. Polarity practitioners are trained to read the body’s physical and energetic maps to facilitate the movement of blocked energy, creating release, balance and healing across the full spectrum of the human condition.
