A young Indian woman, Vanita -- the daughter of yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar, who provided this book's introduction -- is seen in her daily practice a few short days before giving birth, as Inner Beauty, Inner Light explains the breathing techniques and postures all expectant mothers can use to acquire harmony, elegance, grace, and precision. Moreover, Leboyer explores the inner meaning of yoga for both the inner woman and the child within.

What People Are Saying

B K. S. Iyengar
"It is my conviction that Yoga helps a mother in delivering a robust and healthy child. It keeps her body trim and lessens the tension in her nerves and mind by teaching her the art of relaxation. There is a sense of freedom and joy, a sense of warmth and love... Dr. Leboyer guides the reader cautiously into and through the techniques with a real sense of direction. There is no confusion... The language is simple and understandable by all."

The Living End: The New Sciences of Death, Ageing and Immortality

Author: Guy Brown

The decline of infections, starvation, heart attack, and stroke has allowed people to reach extreme old age--and ushered in disability, dementia, and degenerative disease, with profound consequences for the self and society. In chapters echoing Dante's nine circles of hell, Dr. Guy Brown explores these vital issues at various levels, from the cell, to the whole body, to society and how all this new medical technology affects the meaning of death. He tracks the seismic shifts in the causes and character of death that are rocking medicine and reveals how technological innovations, such as cloning and electronic interfaces, hint at new modes of "survival" after death.
