Inner Beauty is a warm and welcoming guide to the complete yoga lifestyle.

Easy quizzes and charts, plus simple, inviting text teaches readers to bring the wisdom of India to everyday life. Inner Beauty shows how to create customized personal strategies for everything from yoga routines suited to one's body type to delicious make-at-home scrubs and cleansers to even a restorative weekend detox retreat. Gorgeous photography captures the distinctive Indian flavour of the beauty treatments and methods, while line illustrations offer detailed yoga instruction.
