DVD Reviews of Yoga for Mom and Baby: A Postnatal Yoga Workout with Your Baby
DVD Review: Good Workout
Summary: 4 Stars
This video gave me ways of playing with my baby and working out at the same time. I use them throughout the day. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because of the long intro each time I turn it on. Considering what is out there to choose from I think this is one of the better ones.DVD Review: Could be better
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed. When shopping for Mom & Baby DVD's there doesn't seem to be much of a range. Either it's for a little baby (like this one) or it's for Mom & Toddler. My daughter is 9 months old and is mobile (rolling, almost crawling). She wouldn't sit still for this at all. So there's an age range for the baby that this would be appropriate for - but they don't tell you that. This would have been great when she was little, immobile and slept a lot but we're well past that. If your baby is older than an infant, save your money.
DVD Review: Fun with baby
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two postnatal yoga CD's, one for use with the baby and one without. This is the CD that I keep returning to. When my baby was 3 weeks old, he responded very little during the poses and slept through many. Now, at eight weeks, he is very engaged, although he does not love every pose. There are a variety of poses, and they vary in difficulty. I enjoy how the baby is incorporated into many of the poses (even adding some extra weight and difficulty). At eight weeks, it is getting difficult to incorporate my son into one pose, the modified boat pose - but he is a very large baby.
I have three criticisms. First, Ann Richmond, the orator, does not provide a lot of reminders about good posture and good positioning in poses. If you were not engaged in yoga before purchasing this CD, I would be concerned that you might not do the poses with good form. Second, I am breastfeeding, and I almost always have to stop the DVD part way through to feed my son. I wish that the time between chapters was shorter (one chapter per pose would have been ideal!). My version also has some audio problems. The volume of the background music varies a lot, at one point overwhelming Ann Richmond's voice.
Even with those criticisms, I would buy this DVD again. It is fun, and I love how it really opens my eyes to the ways my baby is changing.
DVD Review: Too slow for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I did like the dvd but it was too slow and too relaxed for me and the baby. Perhaps I'm used to more upbeat yoga programs and my baby is too active, but I felt like I was about to go to sleep. If you like a more slow paced yoga practice then this is for you. If you like to keep things moving and not feel like it's dragging, I suggest a different video. DVD Review: Good but not outstanding
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this DVD to do some yoga at home with my 3 month old. We are already going to a mommy and me yoga class together and I thaught it would be good to do some stretches at home too. I like this DVD, some parts are really fun to do together. What I do not like is that some parts are a little bit boring (the standing postures) not only for me but also for my baby who starts crying every time we do this part. Otherwise I think it is a good exercise and I will continue doing it.
Description of Yoga for Mom and Baby: A Postnatal Yoga Workout with Your Baby
Whether this is your first child or your tenth, you have begun a marvelous and joyous journey. It is more difficult and more wonderful than anything else you could possibly do.
Yoga for Mom and Baby is a celebration of motherhood. It will provide you with a wonderful yoga practice that is both invigorating and relaxing, while incorporating your baby into every pose.
If begun while your infant is small, you will grow stronger as your child grows bigger and more active, and it will not be difficult to continue to practice with and adapt to your baby as she grows. If begun when your baby is a bit older, a bit more patience will be required with both your baby, and your own strength. But be patient, for the rewards of practicing yoga together are great.
There are two audio track options on this DVD. One is a soft piano track, soothing for your baby. One is a more upbeat track, to help you on the days that you feel the need for a boost.
Every new mother knows the desire to get back into shape, and the discouragement of lessened time to spend on doing so. Yoga for mom and baby allows you to strengthen and tone your body, while never neglecting your baby. This practice focuses on bringing you peace, as well as toning and reshaping the parts of your body that have changed during pregnancy. There is a focus on the abdominal muscles, as well as poses that clear the mind.
You will draw closer to your baby, while becoming more at peace with yourself. By practicing yoga with your baby, your own mind will begin to understand how your baby fits into all aspects of your life. Just as your yoga poses will now change somewhat to include your baby, your life will change, as well. But just as this yoga practice is incredibly rewarding, so your life will be as you learn to incorporate your child into every aspect of your life. This practice is only the beginning!
Congratulations on the miracle of the birth of your baby! Enjoy this yoga practice, created just for the two of you."
