Movie Reviews of Prenatal Yoga
Movie Review: Thank goodness for this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried 3 different pregnancy yoga tapes and this one is far superior to the other two (Rocki, Postures). I have had terrible lower/middle back pain since 4 or 5 months, and this is a godsend. Nothing relieves my pain like this video. I left my first version of this DVD somewhere a few weeks ago and cannot wait for the replacement I ordered to arrive!
I like this video b/c: 1) it isn't too slow, 2) I don't feel like a whale performing the poses, 3) of the flexibility of the 3 seperate sections, and 4) it has wonderful stretching and standing poses. Although I am in the beginning of my 3rd trimester, I have continued doing the first trimester poses which are still quite possible if you are relatively flexible and still have good balance.
Movie Review: LOVE this prenatal yoga DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Shiva Rea is fantastic, calming, soothing and provides safe and effective exercises perfect for you while pregnant. The atmosphere of the tape is in a studio, but it's a clean, beautiful, and serene studio with windows looking out to the sky and trees, so it's very calming to imagine yourself there taking a yoga class in such a luxurious studio. I really appreciate the 3 models who demonstrate each trimester. Overall, I find this exercise DVD to be relaxing and beneficial to help my aching back. Her kegel exercises are short but great, providing a more refined control of those kegels. I'm in my second trimester and I will use this DVD through the end of my pregnancy, and in all future pregnancies (and maybe even without being pregnant).Movie Review: Great for pregnancy aches and pains - also easy labor
Summary: 5 Stars
In my first pregnancy I was afflicted by hyperemesis (severe nausea and vomiting)throughout the entire pregnancy and so my normal higher intensity workout routine was out of the question. I started this video around 17 weeks and it really helped my aches and pains.
I was in labor for only a few hours and the labor and delivery nurse commented that I seemed to be having a pretty easy time with the labor and what had I been doing? I said this yoga video (plus swimming). Hard to say if that is what made the labor relatively easy but I am now in my second pregnancy, same sickness, and just started the video at 17 weeks. It made a lot of difference to me but my goals are not to prevent weight gain with this video.
Movie Review: Life Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea is the best. It was an absolute life saver for me. It was the first time I have ever done Yoga constantly and Shiva Rea explained the poses very clearly. I loved the three different women to follow depending on the trimester or personal comfort. In the past I have had a hard time finding a Yoga disc that I liked and have been disappointed in them after I buy them. I found this disc and my local library and loved it. I was so sad when I had to return it and immediately purchased it form yself. I will give a copy to anyone I know that becomes pregnant. Doing the Yoga not only helped with lower back pain but it helped me stay relaxed (a calm mommy is a calm baby) and boosted my energy.Movie Review: Relieves tension
Summary: 5 Stars
I was was a fairly hearty Yoga practicer before I became pregnant. I did Bryan Kest's three levels and also did Gurmukh Kundalini Yoga (The Method series) which is vigorous and challenging. So I wanted a yoga that allowed me to continue to be flexible but did not hurt the growing baby. Although this yoga will not work up a sweat, I do feel a world of difference when a couple days have gone by, then I do the workout, and my whole body just opens up. It feels stretched and toned.
I would highly suggest this as part of your work out regime. I do this with Jennifer Gianni Pilates and Buns of Steel 8 for pregnancy, as well as the Best Pregnancy Work out (run by a former Cirque du Soilel trapezist!)
