Om forfatteren

Frédérick Leboyer was born Alfred Lazare Levy in Paris, France on November 1, 1918. He graduated from the University of Paris School of Medicine. During World War II, he and his older brother changed their name to Leboyer to avoid detection as Jews by the occupying Nazis. After the war, he worked vis mere in a hospital and then opened a private practice. He began questioning modern obstetrics in the late 1950s and became an advocate for natural birth methods. His book, Birth Without Violence, was published in 1974. He stopped practicing medicine and dedicated himself to photography and film. He wrote several books including Loving Hands and Inner Beauty, Inner Light. He died on May 25, 2017 at the age of 98. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

In his matchless prose and beautiful photographs, Leboyer explains the importance and meaning of yoga for pregnant women. He shows pregnant women how they can use yoga to move toward healthy and joyous childbearing, with the best of consequences for themselves and their babies.
