| Summary: | "Biography of Indra Devi, a European woman who, over the course of her century-long life, helped introduce yoga to the U.S"-- When the woman who would become Indra Devi was born in Russia in 1899, yoga was virtually unknown outside of India. By the time of her death, in 2002, it was being practiced worldwide. Goldberg traces the life of the incredible woman who brought yoga to the West-- and in so doing paints a sweeping picture of the twentieth century. |
