DVD Reviews of Yoga for Pregnancy: a gentle prenatal yoga workout
DVD Review: Very Low Impact Workout
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a little disappointed with this yoga DVD because it is SO low impact. I think it is probably good for someone that is about nine months pregnant and can barely move. I am 8 months pregnant (32 weeks) and can still do the power yoga, so this was not a challenge for me at all. If you are wanting something that will relax you and take minimal effort, this is the DVD for you. DVD Review: Love this before bed during 3rd trimester
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my favorite of three prenatal yoga dvds. I started it at around 34 weeks, as a yoga novice. I appreciate that it's "doable" -- she gives modifications of all the poses based on trimester, and I can do the entire workout without hurting myself. Her voice, the outdoor scenery, and the music are quite peaceful and relaxing. Also, the narration is not hokey; there are videos of her sonogram, and she often asks you to think of your baby.
If you are expecting a hardcore workout, you will be disappointed. This video is all about stretching and relaxing -- I love doing it before bed at night. I find it a good complement to cardio workouts at the gym, and I count it as relaxation practice for my Bradley childbirth classes.
The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I don't like the series of seated chair poses; they don't feel good to me and seem to stretch the wrong muscles in the wrong way. I substitute a few other poses during that part. Otherwise, I really love this video.
DVD Review: Bad quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this dvd after reading the reviews of other pregnant women, and I was waiting something really nice. When the DVD arrived and I saw the first minutes of the workout I felt really dissapointed.
It is an amateur video, with a camera put in the middle of a park (?) and a lady trying to do some yoga. The image has a really bad quality and there is no selection of scenes.
It is really an amateur video of a couple: the husband holds the camera and his wife does the exercises.
Avoid it.
DVD Review: mom2be
Summary: 4 Stars
This yoga workout is very gentle and relaxing. If you're looking for a good workout that makes you sweat, this is not for you! However, if you want something relaxing and easy with some labor preparation then you should check this out.DVD Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
This yoga video was absolutely perfect during my pregnancy. I had one other pregnancy video but the bouncing around of the aerobics was extremely uncomfortable. After all, that's a lot of fluid and extra weight to be bouncing around! "Yoga for Pregnancy" was a smooth workout that stretched my sore muscles and helped my body feel invigorated. The instructor had a soothing, reassuring voice, which helped me relax and get in tune with my body.
I carried my baby really high which lead to extreme shortness of breath. I never felt like I could get a full breath in. This video helped me to use the capacity of my lungs and to take in deep, full breaths. It's amazing what energy can come from deep breathing!
Pregnancy can be so hard on a body. This video was one of the only things I did that provided relief and made me feel better. I highly recommend it!
