Hi Deborah
Welcome to the community. Prana, pranayama, and its uses have always been an interest of mine and seem little covered in many Yoga books and articles these days. Raja Yoga also seems to have dropped out of general knowledge.

Hello Deborah. Welcome to the BellaOnline community. You will love it here.
I would like some easy beginner's instructions on yoga. I am 65, used to exercise regularly, did Tai Chi for several years. I do not know why I stopped all that -- big mistake! I now have arthritis and COPD, so I have to start easy and build up.
Thank you.
Walk in Peace and Harmony.

Hi Ian Thanks so much for the welcome. Prana and pranayama are great topics to cover so I'll make it a point to write about them in the next few weeks. There's enough material in those two topics alone to establish a sub category. Do you have a prana practice? Raja yoga is another interesting topic simply because of the confusion surrounding what it is.

Hello Phyllis Thank you so much for the welcome! I think you're right because I'm already loving it here. I would be happy to write an article for you. I think everyone can benefit from an approach that eases them into a yoga practice gently. I developed arthritis in my hips when I was in the Marine Corps. My yoga practice has helped me regain mobility that I thought I'd never have again and I no longer suffer from pain in my hips. That is one of the reasons that I have for sharing yoga with everyone I meet. Again, thank you for the welcome!

Hi Deborah,
I know nothing of yoga, but you sure have a friendly face, so I thought I'd say hi, too! I'm also pretty new around here but just graduated to editorhood (editorship?)...yee ha!
Looking forward to chatting in the future,
Maria

I practice some of the yoga breathing as part of some rituals, and Prana is another term for Bioplasmic energy used in almost all spell work.
I learned a lot of my early Yoga from an Indian girl at my school in Mexico. Looking back now it seems her family may have been practitioners of some of the traditional magick - Tantra perhaps? - of that country.
