Summary

Optimal health goes way beyond diet and supplement strategy and the way we move and connect with our bodies is an integral part of the healing journey. Ali has been taking PranaShakti dance classes with Dr. Deb Kern for the past 6 months and has shared many moments of emotional and physical breakthrough that have come out of this practice. According to Dr. Deb, “PranaShakti is a conscious movement practice that combines elements from many forms of dance, Ayurveda, Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga to remove energy blocks, liberate trapped energy, reconnect mind and body, reawaken creativity, express emotions, pray with the body and ultimately come home to peace, love and freedom.” Tune in to learn more about this unique practice, breaking energy barriers and how you can incorporate movement, mantra and release in your own life!    In this episode, Ali and Becki pick Dr. Deb Kern’s brain on the evolution of her PranaShakti method and dig deep into the intentions behind her class flow and teachings as she guides women to heal physical and emotional wounds. Deb fuses her academic and medical background with ancient healing techniques to help women discover health and balance in their lives. Hear her insight into the signs of disconnect in body and mind and learn how to recognize and move through energy blockages in your own body. From simple movements you can use at home to connecting through physical touch and sound, Deb provides resources and practical ways to get started on using movement as medicine!    Also in This Episode:  Virtual Ketosis Program - Enrolling through 1/21!  Dr. Deb’s Story How PranaShakti Came to Be Sound and Mantra Episode 169: Resolutions, Goals and Focus for the New Year I Release Control Song Liberating Stuck Energy Where to Find Dr. Deb: On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrDebKern/ In Austin: https://drdebkern.com/classes Online Classes: 50% off with this link!
