Untertitel: A journey to health and healing
Klappentext: Like a barely perceptibly rinsing inclined plane, the book very gently lifts the breast cancer and post-breast cancer patient toward a realistic sense of well-being and inevitable joy with the improved health that accompanies it… [the] elegant pictures, simple contraindications, and thoughtful directions bear witness to the unassuming confidence and serenity with which the book was written, and that may be quite contagious.
Loren M. Fishman, author of Yoga and Multiple Sclerosis: A journey the health and healing
