Movie Reviews of The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 2: Yoga
Movie Review: Comparison of four prenatal yoga workouts
Summary: 5 Stars
First, a little background of who I am. I am a fairly athletic woman at the end of my second trimester. I was totally unable to workout during my first trimester because I was so very sick. When my second trimester started I felt much better and started looking for some good pregnancy workout DVDs.
I bought four pregnancy yoga DVDs: "The Perfect Pregnancy Workout, vol. 2:Yoga" with Sarah Steben, "Prenatal Yoga Complete" with Mary Pappas-Sandonas, "Prenatal Yoga" with Shiva Rea, and "Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga" with Jennifer Wolfe. Here's my comparison:
The Perfect Pregnancy Workout, vol. 2:Yoga:
Great workout! The one negative I found is also it's positive: it was *a bit* challenging to follow the first time through and I had to do it a few times before I really got it down, but I call this a positive because it has much more interesting moves and poses than the other DVDs. Even though I had to take some time to learn something new, I found it to be really worth it. After doing a few times I was finally able to let go of the pregnancy tension I've been holding in my calves, hamstrings and lower back! It's a very energizing take on yoga and when I was done I felt extremely relaxed and tingly.
Prenatal Yoga Complete:
How can I say this kindly? This was definitely NOT the DVD for me. I purchased it because it seemed like it was giving a lot of value for the money, with "over 8 routines for each trimester", but they didn't mention how boring those routines were. I know that Iyengar yoga is supposed to be slower-paced, but I literally fast-forwarded through long sections of the workouts without missing anything. My husband walked through while I was doing this and scoffed, "is that supposed to be a workout?"
Prenatal Yoga:
This DVD is so popular and I can see some really great things about it: the set is beautiful, there's high production value and she gives a solid, beginner's workout. It is not my cup of tea because although there's a meditative feel to the DVD she NEVER STOPS TALKING. EVER. I also found it to be too gentle, but that's just my opinion.
Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga:
A pretty good, fast-paced workout. I enjoyed the moves, but I think that newbies would have a very hard time getting into some of the positions. For example, she does full sun salutations without accounting for the fact that many people lack the mobility to move their feet from downward dog to warrior without modification. She was also pretty chatty and the set was also uninspired, in a small room which reminded me of Jack LaLane circa 1976. I think I'm revealing my age here... Hmm.. I was very, very young then!
I hope this helps save you some money!
