Goldberg began digging for clues to the connections between the yoga of India and its Americanized version. She learns of 102-year-old Indra Devi (1899-2002), often called the First Lady of Yoga. Her life story, which touches three centuries is a kaleidoscopic journey and explores the underpinnings of her outlook, including a yogic disavowal of attachment, a yearning for freedom, and an unflagging sense of trust and positivity. Devi taught yoga well into her 90s. Though the text will be of particular interest to practitioners and teachers of yoga, this sparkling tale of a remarkable trailblazer should enlighten and inspire every reader.
