Prana: One Breath, Many Worlds by Bernie Clark

Bernie Clark, author of The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga, explores prana, one of yoga’s foundational ideas, by asking whether it is breath, spirit, biological energy or something more. He travels through myth, spiritual practice and science in search of answers.

The book moves from shamanic roots and temple rituals to the Upanishads, Theosophy, early Greek philosophy and modern yoga retreats, blending historical research with personal vignettes. It is part memoir, part history and part reflection, comparing Eastern and Western views of soul and vitality.
