What is Polarity Therapy?
“Energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms.”
—Dr. Randolph Stone

Polarity is a holistic, energy-based health system which encompasses elements of India’s ancient Ayurvedic Sciences and the life long work of its founder, Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND. In Dr. Stone’s journey through Europe and the Far East, he studied many modalities, including Ayurveda, acupuncture, structural manipulation, nutrition, yoga, and meditation. Polarity Therapy assists students to become aware of the myriad forms of energetic expression in and around them. From this personal experience, individual healing can take place, which gives the student a firm foundation to then assist others on the path to awareness.
