DVD Reviews of Bend, Breathe, and Conceive: Fertility Yoga with Anna Davis, Ph.D., RYT
DVD Review: Great DVD! Relaxing.
Summary: 5 Stars
Great DVD, perfect for anyone who wants some simple relaxing yoga. I haven't done yoga for a few months and her poses were a bit challenging at first, but felt great! I recommend this DVD to anyone looking to relieve some stress with yogaDVD Review: Disappointing-Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't waste your money. After using this video, I was more stressed than when I began. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers when they say this video is lacking. It really is hard to define what exactly it is about this video but it did nothing for me. Maybe it is because the instructor is just going through these uninspiring motions. I think she is trying hard but comes across stiff and almost military-like. No thanks.DVD Review: not for beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
Not for beginners. Breathing techniques are not easy to grasp. Progression of exercises, poses is very quick. Hard to follow when your head is down, and the guide is already on to the next move. However inspires huge respect for major
pregnant ladies who make me look like a sad sack.
DVD Review: ok
Summary: 3 Stars
This dvd is ok. I could do without all the breathing craziness at the beginning. Have only watched it once and not all the way through. I just don't have an hour and a half to sit down and do this. Would be more helpful in a different format. And you need "equipment" to do this. I prefer yoga that is simple with nothing more than a mat needed. Would have been better if it was less than $20.00, maybe.DVD Review: safe, effective, gentle
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been practicing yoga for over 12 years at the time of this writing, and I am also an experienced, certified yoga instructor, as well as a prenatal massage therapist. I feel that I can vouch for the yoga as taught in this video-- it is the real deal-- Anna Davis knows what she is doing. I really enjoy this video a lot. I find it calming, relaxing, and invigorating in a gentle way. Perhaps most importantly of all, this video is safe for people wherever they might be in their cycle, or in their TTC process (even if using Assisted Reproductive Therapy of some kind). I feel confident recommending it to anyone who is TTC, whether they are taking a completely holistic approach, or using a combination of eastern and western medicine.
The downsides of the video are:
1.) It doesn't give explanations for why she chose the postures that are included. An experienced yogi will be able to figure this out intuitively, but it isn't spelled out for you. (e.g. She doesn't explain why you might want to do postures targeting your hips, low back, and groin area if you are TTC.) There are plenty of online resources for exploring this further. My favourite is Fully Fertile: A 12-Week Holistic Plan for Optimal Fertility, another outstanding resource for holistic fertility.
2.) The pace is actually a bit quick for my taste. I'm not sure why she didn't stretch this out into a 90-minute practice; I prefer more time in some of the postures. I was impressed that she did give plenty of time for the relaxation sequence at the end. A lot of teachers skimp on final savasana, which is the most important posture of the practice. Again, Davis really gets it. Overall a very good investment.
