What is Prana?Prana is a fundamental concept in various spiritual and philosophical traditions, particularly in Hinduism and yoga. It is often described as the vital life force or energy that flows through all living beings, sustaining life and maintaining health. The word prana comes from the Sanskrit language, meaning vital breath or life force. It is believed to be the energy that connects the body, mind, and spirit, circulating through channels in the body known as nadis. In practices such as pranayama (breathing exercises), prana is harnessed and directed to promote balance, vitality, and well-being.
