Product Description
Shows yoga modifications for the various trimesters of pregnancy.
Amazon.com
The best thing about this prenatal yoga program is that there is a model for each trimester. Instructor Shiva Rea demonstrates each of the stretches and exercises for the first trimester, and two pregnant women show modifications for the second and third trimesters (they're even dressed in different colors for easy reference). This removes the self-doubt home-exercisers often have about the safety of certain moves--especially in that cumbersome final stage of pregnancy. Using gentle voice-over instruction, Rea and her assistants take viewers through a half hour of meditational stretches using blocks and chairs for support. She follows that up with 16 minutes of floor work: lunge pose, bridge pose, child's pose, plank pose--all with the necessary adjustments. She winds things up with a four-minute guided relaxation on her back--the traditional position--with the second-trimester woman on her side and the third on her side with one leg up on a chair. By including the different adaptations, Rea has made a program with the flexibility to carry an expectant mom through her entire pregnancy--and beyond, if she wishes. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 Not a fan August 29, 2010

This DVD was a letdown. She starts out with a speech which I had to fast-forward through. I'm just not interested in hearing this person's take on yoga/pregnancy - I bought it to workout. The yoga seemed so lame. The woman in her third trimester was actually sitting on a chair for some it barely moving. To the point that I had to wonder why she was even bothering. I would spend the money on another yoga DVD. This one left me feeling like I wasted my money.

Using it sporadically through whole pregnancy. I like it. It moves quickly for the time, and I find it relaxing and it tends to stretch me and make me feel good for the rest of the day!
Excellent yoga routine for women of all experience levels! August 9, 2010

First, I must mention that this is my first and only review on Amazon.com after many years of using the site for purchases. Thats because I feel strongly about this product.
I purchased this video at the recommendation of my friend who is an aerobics and pilates instructor. I am so happy with this video!
I am 25 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with terrible hip and low back pain for a few weeks now. Also I shoudl mention that this is my first pregnancy and prior to this video I had some limited yoga experience.
This video is excellent for women of all skill levels and at all points throughout pregnancy! The video is setup so that you can follow a woman who is newly pregnant, a woman in her 2nd trimester, or a woman in her 3rd trimester. This makes it very easy to follow along in a way that you know is safe and well-accomodated.
I have used this video every day for one week and am simply amazed at the increased mobility that I already have experienced. The workout is not strenuous, but rather relaxing. It is long... about 50 minutes in total. But, believe when I tell you that it is well worth it! In fact, my baby girl seems to love when I do this routine. She seems more active and I believe it is because the routine is opening my ribs and making more room for my baby girl.
I highly recommend this video to any pregnant woman!!

I do this when i have a full hour to exercise. I find this more challenging than my 30 minute prenatal video so i mixed the two up throughout the week. I am only nine weeks along so i can't give any advice about yoga with a full baby bump but for a beginner it's great and people can make it as challenging as they want.
 YAWN. Slow moving and easy. July 8, 2010

I like yoga as a way to stretch and feel invigorated. I don't like yoga that's sappy ("imagine your baby is enjoying this practice as much as you are") or too slow. I really didn't like this dvd.
It's just... easy. I'm sure this is fine for ladies coming to yoga for their first time, but as someone who's pretty active, this practice just didn't challenge me at all. I also found the inward-looking sappy new age stuff got old fast. The one strong point, though, was that it does demonstrate three separate ways to do the poses, so less flexible people could look at the 3rd trimester version for help. But I'm in my 3rd tri and had no trouble doing almost all of it with the 1st trimester version. It's just that easy.
A great alternative that I later purchased and LOVE is the Complete Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Short Forms 2 DVD Set. It's the exact opposite- fast moving, keeps your attention.
