Certified I AM Breath Instructors

Joa Marcu, MA - Founder

Joa began his path of healing and spiritual awakening at the age of seventeen when he about lost his life in a motorcycle wreck. He was told by the doctors that he would be crippled for life if he was lucky enough to walk. He spent 3 months on his back in the hospital where he learned to meditate and be at peace in his own skin. He healed unusually fast and went on to become a long distance runner. He also had chronic asthma that went away when he learned how to retrain his breathing, a method called BreathPlay from Ian Jackson. (BreathPlay would become a core component of the I AM Breath.)

Fascinated by the healing process and achieving greater states of wellness, Joa practiced Yoga and meditation and became a Fitness Instructor, Aerobic Exercise Specialist, Nutritionist and Iridologist, Massage Therapist (Swedish, Esalan, Neuromuscular, Acupressure, Polarity and Reiki), Herbal Therapist, Colonic Irrigation Therapist, and Hatha Yoga Instructor (White Lotus Certified). Joa then explored more breathwork methods including traditional Pranayama, Kundalinin Yoga, Rebirthing, Holotropic, Quantum Light , Clarirty, and others.

In 1989, a spiritual teacher gave Joa his name and encouraged him to use his intuitive gift to help people heal. Joa has given thousands of readings and healings since. Joa has studied several traditions including Science of Mind and Unity of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American.

But, Joa's seeking mostly stopped when he discovered the I AM Teachings disseminated by Saint Germain and other Ascended Masters at Mount Shasta, California.  Mt. Shasta then became Joa's home for 5 years where he was blessed with angelic experinces.

It was here that Joa was spiritually guided to receive, develop, and teach the I AM Breath, as a method of embodying one's divinity.

Joa then moved south and founded, managed, and taught Hatha and Kundalini yoga, ecstatic dance, and breathwork at his Illumination Yoga Center in Los Angles,

He also earned a masters degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. This rigorous program gave Joa the tools and skills to clear away his pain memories and thus live a life of greater grace and ease.

Joa then moved back to the San Francisco bay area where he graduated from the Coaches Training Institute. Coaching compliments Joa's spiritual readings - helping people follow through for themselves on a weekly basis to co-create with the universe the life they want.

Joa has written three books that are on there way to be published: The Self Liberation Method , Raise Your Energy - Raise Your pH , and The I AM Oracle.

Testimonials

"A total breakthrough."

“A total breakthrough. I experienced tremendous self-power, energy and clarity. The information given is highly constructive and involving, and the breathing sequence with music is nothing short of a thrilling joyride. I left feeling expansive, loving and truthfully connected to my essence. I can’t wait for the next one.”

--Michael Spielberg, Bus. Executive


...loved it!

The breathwork was great. What I liked most was permission to move the body and change positions. Other breath workshops required lying down on the back. Your instructions were very helpful. Also the music; loved it! Blessings,

--Thea

"...very profound work..."

“Joa used clear, down-to-earth instruction, sacred, sensitively selected music and a healer’s true compassion and perception to guide us on a powerful journey into ourselves. I found my breath capacity increase naturally, even in areas that have been constricted for years, despite many yoga classes. I was left feeling radiant, connected and peaceful. This is very profound work that gets immediate results.”

--Francesca Block, Author

"... gentle and supportive."

"I enjoyed it. It was gentle and supportive. I could go at my own pace and let the magic unfold......"

--BODHI

"Very deep. Very revealing."

"Very deep. Very revealing. Joa’s intuition was right-on and I felt really seen. I really liked Joa's coaching during the breathing and how he kept changing up the words for me to affirm. This work is wonderful."

--Beverly Brunelle, Spiritual Teacher

"..laughing at the sight of my abundance."

"I had a wonderful experience. My intention was financial abundance, and during the breathing session I had a vision of a giant funnel above my head and money of all sorts being sent down by ascended masters and ancestors. It was like a fire works display of raining riches! I started laughing at the sight of it. I now feel that Financial Abundance is available and will manifest in its own way and time. I also enjoyed the one on one process"

"...very deep & profound."

Thank you for facilitating a wonderful workshop. It was very deep and profound for me. I've done Rebirthing many years ago, and the I Am Breath was similar but more direct and varied in it's structure. I really appreciated the music which was very supportive in channeling the opening I experienced. I'd characterize it as opening energizing and all about presence.
 Lots of Gratitude,

--Rich Danon, Nurse

"This was amazing, ..."

Thank you so much for having me.  It was my pleasure to just be there with you all.  I must say that it did help me. When I arrived I had just started my month cycle.  Having a lot of lower back tightness and pain.  Half way through the breathing exercise most of the pain was gone and did not return.  This was amazing, and I wanted to thank you for teaching me this for future months to come.

--Leslee Savvy

"... able to quiet down the motor mind, ..."

found that if I breathed the I Am Breath way that it was very easy to get into a Zen way of breathing and be totally focused on my body and my breathing, and I was then, able to quiet down the motor mind, which is always a challenge with meditation. Sincerely,

--Sue Hayes
