In her book, The Goddess Pose , New York Times best-selling author Michelle Goldberg tells the globetrotting story of the audacious life of Indra Devi, the woman who helped bring yoga to the west. Devi was born Eugenia Peterson in Russia in 1899, was an early feminist who traveled from the cabarets of Berlin, to the Mysore palace in India, to China and Hollywood, and lived to be almost 103 years old.
