Leboyer, an obstetrician known for his advocacy of gentle birth, explains with his own photographs how yoga helps the pregnant woman prepare for a joyful delivery.

The work includes a foreword by B. K. S. Iyengar and over a hundred photographs. Originally published in 1978, this edition came out in 1997.
Recommended for pregnant women, expectant fathers, and readers interested in natural childbirth, prenatal yoga, and maternal well-being.
Frédérick Leboyer was a French obstetrician and author. He is best known for his 1975 book, Birth Without Violence, which popularized gentle birthing techniques. He also advocated low lighting and quiet in a warm room to limit the supposed shock of birth,[Reynolds, Concise Encyclopedia of Special Education, 138] and that a newborn be laid on its mother's stomach and allowed to bond, instead of being taken away for tests.
