Bernie Clark has spent a lifetime exploring the boundaries between science, philosophy, and spirit. With a formal education in physics (B. Sc.) and a professional career that included senior leadership in a high-tech space company, Bernie brings a rare analytical lens to the study of consciousness and subtle energy. But his most transformative discoveries have come not from the laboratory, but from decades of deep personal practice in meditation, pranayama, and yoga.
Today, Bernie is internationally known for his work in Yin Yoga and the anatomy of yoga practice. He is the author of several influential books, including The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga and the Your Body, Your Yoga trilogy, which have helped thousands of teachers and students worldwide deepen their understanding of the body-mind connection.
Bernie’ s teaching is shaped by a synthesis of Eastern and Western traditions: he draws from classical Indian yoga, Daoist philosophy, Buddhist mindfulness, and modern science— particularly in the fields of fascia, biomechanics, and neurophysiology. His workshops, teacher trainings, and writings are known for their clarity, humour, and curiosity.
In Prana: One Breath, Many Worlds, Bernie offers his most personal work yet: a journey across cultures and centuries in search of the vital force that animates life. Interweaving historical narrative, philosophical reflection, and lived experience, this book is an invitation to rediscover prana as both a spiritual mystery and a biological reality— rooted in breath, pulsing through every cell, and echoing in the shared story of what it means to be alive.
Bernie Clark lives in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
