Audra started by practising breath work for 40 minutes a day and after five days claims she no longer had a hunger for dense food and her first fast lasted 97 days where she only consumed teas, juices and smoothies.

She explained: “Prana is another word for energy, also known as Qi or Chi.

“It is a life-giving force that flows in, through and around all things, it’s in the air we breathe, the sunshine, nature, connections with people and all living things.

“It is a powerful energy that actually has the ability to fuel and sustain us as humans.”

Prana means energy and according to the practice when breathing in, people inhale both oxygen and prana which is found in all air and space.
