DVD Reviews of Prenatal Yoga: A Complete Home Practice for a Healthy Mother and Baby
DVD Review: My friend loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my friend who is pregnant and was bummed out when her Yoga class got cancled. She really seems to enjoy it and has used it quite a bit! From all I can tell she loves it and was super happy to get it!DVD Review: Ok Yoga Video
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this DVD when I was at the end of my second/entering my 3rd tri-mester. I tried the 3rd session, which is recommended for the 3rd trimester and I found one of the positions very uncomfortable and not able to do it. I am not overly big, and I have only gain 24 1/2 pounds, and I am on my 35th week, however, I found this one particular position unobtainable. Besides this I would suggest for viewers to have a soft floor to lay on and lots of room to move around. DVD Review: Good pick for pregnant women.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using yoga videos for 6 years. Now that I am late in my second trimester of pregnancy I have found some of the traditional yoga poses are becoming difficult and uncomfortable. Prenatal Yoga seems to be more gentle and appropriate for the pregnant body, while still providing opportunity for muscle tone. I have also liked how there are three routines that each last between 23 and 32 minutes, so one session is a perfect length for me to fit into my morning schedule. I have not tried any of the breathing relaxation exercises, but imagine that this woudl be useful preparation for childbirth.DVD Review: Great Preparation for Labor
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad I bought this DVD, it has everything I wanted plus some stuff I didn't know I'd want. Before I bought it I used only Shiva Rea's yoga DVD almost every day for a few months and I needed variety. It has done a lot to lessen my hip pain (which was making it nearly impossible to move around before I started) and done a lot to help me relax and deal with anxiety problems and practice relaxations I will use in childbirth.
Pros
- It does a fabulous job of training you to move with your breath, which is what yoga is all about and is a great preparation for labor.
- The exercises are challenging but not too hard.
- The exercises really focus on positions that will help you during labor.
- There are three stand alone routines of about 20-30 minutes each so you can do just one a day or do a few in a row if you want a longer workout. After four or five months of doing the exact same workout every day this is a huge bonus.
- There are special features so you can choose to listen to just the music or just the instructions once you're familiar with the exercises.
- The way they put it together is very relaxing.
- It also contains three separate guided relaxations so that you can rotate around and do different ones on different days.
- This DVD was put together by a yoga center instead of an individual yoga teacher and as a result I think the routines are better and the DVD overall has a lot more to it.
Cons
- The exercises may not be challenging enough earlier in your pregnancy if you already have been doing a lot of yoga. I didn't get this until my 3rd trimester and it was great then because it's so hard to move around when you're so big, but it might be too easy if you do it in the beginning. Even if this is too easy for you at first, I still highly recommend you give it a try in your 3rd trimester.
- If you're not into the more spiritual side of yoga the quiet relaxations and things that are so great about this DVD may not appeal to you.
DVD Review: Prenatal Yoga for beginners
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD is good for pregnant women who have never done yoga before and are also in bad shape. If you have experience in Yoga or if you used to excercise regulary before your pregnancy, this DVD is not for you.
Description of Prenatal Yoga: A Complete Home Practice for a Healthy Mother and Baby
Selected by Fit Pregnancy magazine as a 2006 Editors Pick, this program has three yoga routines and three guided relaxations to help you be more comfortable now and prepare you for childbirth. The routines can be done separately or linked together for longer practice sessions. Equal emphasis is given to movement, breath, and relaxation. OPEN: seated and kneeling poses to connect your body, mind and breath. Breathing lesson -- full flowing breath. (25 min.) FOCUS: standing and seated poses to energize and build strength. Breathing lesson -- deep 'ocean' breath. (35 min.) SURRENDER: floor poses to help you relax and release. Breathing lesson -- space between breaths. (20 min.) Use the 10-minute guided relaxations to end your practice, or do them on their own for a restful break in your day. FLOWER, FEATHER and CLOCK appeal to different senses to help you relax, release tension, connect more deeply with your baby, and replenish your energy. "As the former editor of a yoga magazine, I've seen a lot of yoga videos. This is one of the best -- pregnant or not. It's clear and concise, and the relaxations at the end are fantastic for overwhelmed moms-to-be." Hillari Dowdle.
