Assuming you have an environment named proof, I would try the
following [highly untested] code in the preamble:
\let\realproof=\proof
\let\realendproof=\endproof
\newcounter{realequation}
\renewenvironment{\proof}{%
\setcounter{realequation}{\value{equation}}%
\setcounter{equation}{0}%
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}}%
\realproof}
{setcounter{equation}{realequation}\realendproof}
Use at your own risk!
