Through her books Forever Young, Forever Healthy (1953) and Yoga For Americans (1959), Indra Devi presented yoga as a gentle, natural method of combating ageing and a secret of beauty and holistic health, as evidenced by the famous Hollywood icons who were her students. She thus contributed to its popularisation in the West as a discipline for women, whereas in India it was still largely the preserve of men. Moreover, in societies still traumatised by the horrors of the Second World War and already plunged into the Cold War, in the midst of the "age of anxiety", Indra Devi also presented yoga as a relaxation technique designed to combat stress and depression.
