Stress is more than a feeling. It is a lived pattern stored in the body, reinforced by past experiences, and repeated through unconscious reactions. I AM Yoga Therapy™ works at the root of this cycle, helping you meet the places in yourself where energy is blocked, pain is stored, and healing has not yet been allowed to happen. Instead of stretching through tension, it is about awakening the innate intelligence that knows how to restore balance when you stop interfering with it.
Most systems of healing focus on the part that hurts. They attempt to correct the misalignment, remove the symptom, or manage the dysfunction. These approaches often ignore the most vital dimension of your being: your energy body.
In I AM Yoga Therapy™, we begin not by looking at what is broken, but by feeling where the energy has become stuck. This subtle block is not caused by the body alone. It is caused by an interruption in the natural polarity of prana. When prana no longer flows and the intelligence of the energy body is disrupted by fear, memory, or resistance, physical and mental symptoms begin to follow.
We do not treat the body as a machine. We treat it as a living field of consciousness. Every area of tightness, pain, or disconnection is not a problem to fix. It is a message to receive. It is the place where the flow of life has been halted by unconscious holding, and it can be reopened only by returning to presence. Polarity, the dynamic interplay of expansion and contraction or inward and outward flow, is restored the moment you stop reacting and begin listening.
Unlike traditional yoga therapy models that rely primarily on analysis, anatomy, or mechanical alignment, I AM Yoga Therapy™ offers a direct experience of healing through presence. Presence alone, however, is not enough. You must also be guided into energetic alignment. This is where polarity becomes the key.
We use the body as a map to access these energetic circuits. Supported postures, guided breath, and the conscious holding of opposites such as effort and ease, activity and receptivity, doing and being, create an inner space where prana begins to self-correct. As the sympathetic nervous system quiets, the parasympathetic field awakens. You do not push the energy to move. You remove what blocks it. When you do, healing happens not because you make it happen, but because you stop interfering.
The real breakthrough of I AM Yoga Therapy™ lies in its integration of yogic polarity principles with subtle body awareness. We do not just stretch the muscle. We feel the story. We do not simply rest the body. We restore the field. We do not just witness. We integrate. What arises is not just relief, but remembrance.
Through the two stages of I AM Yoga Therapy™, this process deepens:
- In Level I, you l earn how to sense energy, detect blockages, and restore awareness through breath and sensation. You become your own facilitator.
- In Level II, we introduce hands-on work, props, and therapeutic positioning that support the full energetic unwinding of stored emotion and unresolved stress.
However, the most important element is not technique, but it is the sacred container. Healing does not happen through effort, it happens through the intentional space we create, where the ego-mind is no longer driving and the true Self begins to re-emerge.
When polarity is restored, presence becomes available. When presence returns, the energy that was bound in survival becomes available for higher functioning. When the energy is free, the body remembers what it already knew: how to heal, how to self-regulate, and how to rest in wholeness.
I AM Yoga Therapy™ is not just for the body. It is for the energy body that holds every thought, belief, and memory.
