In what is widely regarded as the classic text on yoga for expectant women, Leboyer shows how women can use yoga to move toward healthy and joyous childbearing, and how the health benefits will far outlast the birthing process, for both mother and child. Iyengar's daughter Vanita is photographed in daily yoga practice a few short days before giving birth. The text explains the breathing techniques and postures all expectant mothers can use to acquire harmony, elegance, grace and precision. Leboyer also explains the inner meaning of yoga for both the inner woman and the child within.
