Movie Reviews of Prenatal Yoga
Movie Review: Highly recommend!!
Summary: 5 Stars
While I wouldn't call this DVD altogether challenging (for you yoga buffs out there), I really, truly enjoyed this DVD. Before I got pregnant, I had dabbled in yoga, but mostly practiced Pilates. By about halfway through my pregnancy, I was ready for something a little more relaxing and less strenous than my pregnancy Pilates DVD. This was the perfect solution - it's so relaxing, and the music and Shiva Rea's voice are so soothing that I hardly noticed the time going by. I would actually look forward to coming home after a long day at work and unwinding with this DVD. I even used it for a few weeks after I came home from the hospital, because it was just what I needed to stretch my tired muscles and destress, and I wasn't ready to jump into my pre-pregnancy workout regime just yet. I would definitely recommend buying this DVD - it was the one I used the most out of all my pregnancy workout DVDs.Movie Review: flexibility, strength and relaxation

I purchased this prenatal yoga workout based on high Amazon reviews, and it has quickly become the favorite in my collection of Gaiam DVDs. Another reviewer said it is not a "workout" ... I would agree that it's not an aerobic workout that you sweat to, but a good yoga workout that combines stretching and deep breathing, with your pregnant body in mind. The idea of yoga is that one can stretch as deep as they are able to for full benefit. I follow the workout nearly every day, because of the incredible benefits I feel afterward. Shiva Rea incorporates many side angle poses which strecth the hips, waist and ribs. This has been extremely beneficial for me: I've even lost some extra weight in those areas, while my belly continues to grow. I feel good about using this yoga session for toning my own body, providing better circulation and oxygen for my baby, and preparing for a natural birth.Movie Review: Great for all skill levels

I love this prenatal yoga dvd. As someone who has practiced yoga for 6 years I was looking for a dvd that would be challenging in terms of the poses but not a major "vinyasa" cardio workout. I use this dvd in the morning before I go to work to stretch, relax and get rid of my morning sickness. This dvd has 3 sections which make it easy to break up if you don't have the full 50 minutes. It had some new poses I wasn't familiar with that made it fun and exciting. It also focuses on many poses that can help you through labor and delivery. You need a chair, strap, blanket and block (especially when you get into the 2nd and 3rd trimesters) but if you don't have these items you probably have something laying around the house that would work just as well. This video is good for beginners, intermediate or advanced but don't order if you're looking for a faced-paced cardio workout.Movie Review: Helpful and Professional

This prenatal yoga DVD is a winner. The set, background music, and lighting all compliment a well-structured yoga session. The production is professional and the yoga itself is really helpful. Throughout my pregnancy I have really felt the need to stretch out my muscles, legs especially. Taking an hour to relax and stretch really feels good. The DVD starts with a long spoken intro, but you can skip through it. The rest of it is broken up into segments, so you can do 15, 30, or 45 minutes of yoga plus a cooldown. I liked having the option of only doing a chunk of it at a time. Though I never did the full 3rd trimester variation, it was nice to see women at different stages adjusting the workout to their physical needs. The whole session is very soothing and relaxing, yet helps build strength too. I would recommend this DVD to any pregnant woman who likes a good stretch.Movie Review: Excellent for beginners especially

I had never done yoga before and while they don't take the time to explain each and every thing they are doing, they do go slow enough that you have plenty of time to keep up. I also like that it has chapters so you can jump past the meditation part and just get to the yoga. I started not long after I found out I was pregnant, and now with only three weeks until my due date I am still loving this DVD more than anything... it's even better at times than my husband giving me a backrub and was especially helpful in the first trimester when I was too sick to do any cardio exercise but needed to do something, this got me out of my depression stage and I became a very happy pregnant lady. I would recommend this to anyone who is pregnant. The best part is that you can actually see all three girls at all times so you're not lost on what your modification for any of the poses are.
