The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Prana began in California, building yoga and athletic wear. They made pants first. The brand moved through studios and gyms steadily. Fitted fabrics that moved with the body mattered most. They built trust among practitioners who demanded real performance. Today Prana sits in the Health, Fitness & Wellness category at number five. They track across six thousand six hundred forty-nine brands globally. The company makes what yogis and climbers actually need. This is how a small brand becomes indispensable.
