Klappentext: Breast health is a sensitive subject, and breast problems can leave women feeling vulnerable on many levels.

Divided into five parts, this book is designed for beginning and seasoned practitioners:
Part 1: About the breasts discusses breast development and structure and the lymphatic and hormonal systems, and gives an overview of yoga poses and how they affect breast health.

Part 4: Practicing yoga answers FAQ and offers active and restorative sequences for immunity, energy, PMS and noncyclic breast pain, cysts, pregnancy, nursing mothers, and breast cancer.
