Prana is subtle energy that yogis concentrate in their body through the practice of pranayama - control of the breath.
There are many pranayama practices. An aim of pranayama is to unite the prana and apana in the body which leads to enlightenment. On the physical level, pranayama practices improve the health of the breathing apparatus, calms your emotions and provides a strong meditative focus. Some pranayamas are cleansing and some are energising. There really is such a wide variety of pranayama practices, and most can be done at a level to suit your abilities.
