this is the original (Sacred) Hatha Yoga and More

this is what America has been waiting for - and for too long! Famous living legend and Master Yvengar's own daughter doing (Sacred) Hatha Yoga at 9 months... Everything - in classic Frederick Leboyer's style - from the impressing plasticity of phographed postures(ashtangas)to the magnificent text/commentary,it will revolutionize again, everything we thought we knew about childbirth - only this time "the before childbirth time'. Frederick has disappeared from my "radar" but wherever you are - dear friend and mentor and Maestro - thank you in the name of all mothers and their children, that by trusting your wisdom and the love you express in every book, in every page, in every word you chose, have found THE ANSWER

amazing,magical

The Yoga in this book is not accessible to all,but just looking at the pictures and reading the text is enough to transport you to a whole new realm, a peaceful, calming, happy place where pregnancy and birth are no longer a burden or a physical challenge, but a beautiful natural state to be celebrated and embrassed, that you can tame and enjoy. Leboyer was not only the leading ob-gyn when it comes to natural childbirth, but also a man who understood and loved Women, their needs and their abilities while pregnant.This book was made while working with Vanita Iyengar, the beautiful daughter of the famous Yoga Guru, and the pictures are out of this world.The Poetry is so inspiring and calming,it works almost like hypnosis...
