Promise: At Planet Prana, I aim to create a safe and caring environment for anyone interested in practicing meditation and mindfulness. My offerings are tailored to meet you exactly where you are in your unique journey. I am here to support every moment of your practice with profound sincerity. I wish to inspire you to connect with the intertwined essence of your humanity and your natural environment. I won’t insist on loyalty to me or my offerings alone. There is a teacher for everyone, even if it’s not me. I won’t push you to strive for better in your practice. Instead, I will encourage you to lean into the moment and trust the unfolding process. I urge you to rely on your wisdom and intuition as your greatest teacher. I will advocate for self-compassion within your practice. I will help you understand that meditation is an intensely personal and individual experience. I assure you that there is no wrong way to sit quietly, witness a few moments of your existence, and experience what it feels like to be human.

What is Prana? Excerpt from Light on Pranayama, The Art of Yogic Breathing by BKS Iyengar

“Prana is the energy permeating the universe at all levels.  It is physical, mental, intellectual, sexual, spiritual and cosmic energy.  All vibrating energies are prana.  All physical energies, such as heat, light, gravity, magnetism and electricity are also prana.  It is the hidden or potential energy in all beings, released to the fullest extent in times of danger.  It is the prime mover of all activity.  It is energy which creates, protects and destroys.  Vigor, power, vitality, life and spirit are all forms of prana.”

“… prana is the principle of life and consciousness.  It is equated with the real Self (Atma).  Prana is the breath of life of all beings in the universe.  They are born through it and live by it, and when they die their individual breath dissolves into the cosmic breath.  Prana is the hub of the Wheel of Life.”

Planet Prana acknowledges and exists within these principles.
