Untying the Sacred Knots: Liberating Energy Through the Granthis with PranaShakti™ Dance
In this transformational PranaShakti™ workshop, Dr. Deb Kern guides participants into the Shaivite yogic understanding of the Granthis — the energetic “knots” that bind consciousness and restrict the free flow of prana through the subtle body. Through breath, music, and PranaShakti™ Dance, you’ll journey into the places where survival patterns, emotional armoring, and inherited conditioning become lodged in the body, allowing dormant energy to awaken and stagnant energy to release. No dance experience necessary — only an enjoyment of moving rhythmically to music and a willingness to breathe, feel, and move.
Intensity of Practice: 5 – All Levels
