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

- simple and great way to stretch achy muscles
Used it and loved the way I felt afterwards! The moves are easy and the instructors are easy to follow thought their outfits are distracting and tight... I would recommend it to any pregnant women in need of a good stretch out for her aching body!!! Helped me immensely!!
Rating: - The best
I had never done Yoga prior to my pregnancy. In fact, it was safe to say I was extreamely out of shape..and I was scared to death.

In the end I gained 27 lbs, and I had a fantastic delivery. ... Read More

- Not bad, but too many errors for beginners
There are a few things I did like about this DVD-the overall choreography choices, the music and the guided meditation at the end. Unfortunately, there are a few things which make this less than a perfect pre-natal yoga choice. One of the most critical items was the complete lack of explanation on the positions. I have done yoga for years so I knew what each pose should be, but with the number of side angle poses chosen in this DVD, a simple reminder to "drop your shoulder away from your ear" would not ...

I was only expecting updated poses during the different trimesters, but when I saw it included massage I was ecstatic! Great video!
