Movie Reviews of Prenatal Yoga
Movie Review: Helps a lot!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed this yoga workout from the second month up to week 38 so far (I hope to continue up till labor begins). As I gained weight, my back felt very sore in the morning and the yoga workout would stretch out those muscles and make me feel strong and comfortable for the entire day. I got a cold weeks 33-35 and couldn't do yoga as I couldn't breathe very well, and I felt a marked difference in my back comfort. I couldn't sit for longer than 20 minutes without feeling pain. Once I started the yoga again in the mornings, I haven't had anymore pain during the day. I have continued to sleep on my sides and am able to maneuver around well, I think due to stronger core and back muscles from the yoga workout. I highly recommend this workout for pregnancy. I'm also planning to use the guided relaxation at the beginning of labor.Movie Review: Awesome Prenatal Yoga DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This being my first pregnancy, I want to do everything I can to prepare for the big day (labor and delivery). I used to be athletic but, I haven't worked out for years... so, I wasn't looking for anything too difficult. On the other hand, I am still quite flexible and fairly strong, so I didn't want something too easy.
Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga is great for beginners as well as those already familiar with yoga. I bought this DVD and thankful I have.
FEATURES:
Breathing and Meditation
Stretching
Modified poses (for all three trimesters)
Relaxation
I recommend this product for those looking for a good prenatal yoga DVD. I take regular prenatal classes near my home and this DVD is similar to a Level I class.
NOTE: This is not an aerobic workout.
Movie Review: New to Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
I have done a little yoga in the past during other types of workout videos & also prenatal videos and was looking for something to keep the tone and relieve stress of joints, spine, etc. This video is easy to follow as Shiva Rea narrates all details of the poses including breathing and also discusses the modifications for each trimester of pregnancy. This video provides a challenge even in pregnancy, which I like, and makes me feel great afterwards. It is also aesthetically pleasing as they are in a nice atmoshphere with candles and soft music. You need several items for the session, such as a blanket, chair, band for stretches, yoga ball, and block but you can improvise with nearby items although I would suggest purchasing a yoga ball for some of the stretches as a pillow just doesn't do the trick for me.Movie Review: Don't do pregnancy without this!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this yoga session with Shiva Rea. I was able to use it during my entire pregnancy because the poses are modified for each timester-- what a wonderful concept! I can't imagine not having this video during my 1st trimester when I needed a lift from feeling naseous, or during my 2nd timester when I needed to be moving to feel good, or during my 3rd timester when my back and muscles were filled with tension. The exercises are perfectly designed for the aches and pains of pregnancy, as well as for birth preparation. In fact, you'll find many of these same poses recommended in the best natural childbirth books. The relaxation session at the end is a nice reward, and I always look forward to hearing Shiva Rea end by saying, "May you enjoy a radiant pregnancy, and motherhood. Namaste."Movie Review: Great yoga tape
Summary: 5 Stars
I've haven't done much yoga before (only the am/pm yoga set on rare occassions), but after becoming pregnant I was looking for an exercise video that would provide both stretching and toning. This video is great for meeting those two goals. After the first time I used it, I was happy to find that not only did I get the feel of a good muscle-toning workout, but that I also felt much more limber after only one use.
Its very helpful that the video shows the ladies in all 3 trimesters with their specific pose modifications. Some of the poses I was not familiar with at first, but after watching it once they were very easy to follow. I do recommend that if you are not very limber starting out, or if you are past your first trimester, make sure you get a yoga block to use with this video.
