The best thing about this prenatal yoga program is that there is a modelfor each trimester. Instructor Shiva Rea demonstrates each of the stretches andexercises for the first trimester, and two pregnant women show modifications forthe second and third trimesters (they're even dressed in different colors foreasy reference). This removes the self-doubt home-exercisers often have aboutthe safety of certain moves--especially in that cumbersome final stage ofpregnancy. Using gentle voice-over instruction, Rea and her assistants takeviewers through a half hour of meditational stretches using blocks and chairsfor 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. Shewinds things up with a four-minute guided relaxation on her back--thetraditional position--with the second-trimester woman on her side and the thirdon 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 herentire pregnancy--and beyond, if she wishes. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating: - Great DVD
We liked the DVD and we really liked that it only took a few days to get to us. Great seller.Great price and this seller is recommended.

- Don't understand the popularity
I brought this DVD based on the MANY recommendations and was very disappointed.It is slow, boring and unchallenging.The instructor is sooooo annoying and talks in an over-the-top soft "earth mother" voice.
Instead try the Sarah Hollidays prenatal series, Perfect Pregnancy Workout Vol 2. Yoga or Christine Andersons prenatal yoga DVD.

- Not the best...
I had high hopes when I bought this DVD, but it is lacking one essential thing -- time! I feel like I am being rushed through each exercise, which to me is not the purpose of yoga. I guess I am supposed to memorize each move and then go back and do them on my own??? Still looking for the perfect prenatal DVD!
Rating: - Not too annoying
I really liked this lady, and felt like I would like her in person too.She was very kind and didn't seem unrealistically perfect, or act annoyingly spiritual or mystical about everything.The outfits were not very flattering, but overall this was a good yoga workout.I'm not a super big fan of yoga, but this was way better than the other yoga DVD I tried (yoga for your pregnany with kristen eykel).Still Denise Austin's fit and firm pregnancy is my all around favorite.

- Great for all skill levels
I love this prenatal yoga dvd.As someone who has practiced yoga for 6 years I was looking for a dvd that would be challenging in terms of the poses but not a major "vinyasa" cardio workout.I use this dvd in the morning before I go to work to stretch, relax and get rid of my morning sickness.This dvd has 3 sections which make it easy to break up if you don't have the full 50 minutes.It had some new poses I wasn't familiar with that made it fun and exciting.It also focuses on many poses that ...
