The book emphasizes that every woman has a natural body shape that she can cultivate. With the daily practice of yoga one's body doesn't have to be an ideal image that can never be real, but the reader's view of the body will become much more rewarding. The visualizations, timed writings, yoga postures and journal exercises in the book help the reader toward this desired end. Must Read (Five Star) -- Lex Ticonderoga, Today's Books "Moroney had been at war with her body as long as she could remember. But after years of trying to live up to her ideal image, she became battle weary. "What I wondered, does it mean to love and totally accept one's self?" she asked. Moroney writes about her search for self-acceptance in "Natural Body, Natural Shape: Develop a Strong Self-Image, Good Health, & Ageless Grace & Beauty Through Yoga…a book peppered with journal entries, yoga poses and frank talk." --American Fitness Magazine "Noteworthy: The transformative work shares valuable information from the authors experience as a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, practicing Qi Gong almost daily since 1988. The book is unique to other works about yoga because it includes exercises connecting inner Self with body resulting in the creation of a new matrix for symmetry of mind and body." --Lightwood Publishing Barbara B.
