“A firm and warm embrace … ” — New York Times
“A fascinating dip into the gender history of yoga … ” — Variety

Synopsis: Though Yoga was brought to the west from India by a lineage of male teachers, today, there’s a generation of women who are leading the way — they’re strong they’re inspiring, and they’re radically changing peoples lives. A quiet revolution brews in yoga studios, hospitals, and living rooms around the globe: In record numbers, women are discovering their own strength, vitality, peace, and power through yoga. Reclaiming this ancient spiritual path from its traditionally male form, the result is a radical transformation of modern yoga, as we know it.
