Prana is the Life Energy Force, the Vital Air, the Breath of Life. “When the practice of postures is combined with conscious breathing and deep states of concentration, prana will sometimes spontaneously ‘take over’ the practice, energy itself will begin to direct the flow of postures. A sense of effortlessness, of complete surrender to a force greater than ourselves. This experience can be surprising, compelling, and blissful. And, it appears to be completely out of our control. We cannot make it happen. We can only let it happen.” – Stephen Cope
