Movie Reviews of Yoga 4 Fertility
Movie Review: I liked it
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't used it much since I bought it but I found it easy to follow and extremely relaxing. I have never done yoga before using this DVD. The DVD taught me about a certain kind of breathing (can't remeber the name, something like oojiyee breath), but I can honestly say that I have never found a way to make myself so relaxed. Half of the time I followed the DVD, I quit half way through, got in bed and went to sleep because it made me so relaxed, which is exactly what I was looking for - a way to reduce stress.Movie Review: Love this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful DVD! Used it for one month..and voila...Pregnant! Great for stress relief and your body feels amazing. Brenda has a great voice for narration and you feel really in tune with your body afterwards. Would recommend to anyone trying to concieve or...just getting started with Yoga.Movie Review: Great basic yoga practice
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been doing Brenda Strong's "Yoga for Fertility" practice for about 3 months now. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 2 years, and although I'm not naive enough to think this will be the magic answer to our struggles, it's nice to know there is a yoga practice out there specifically geared towards women who are experiencing difficulty conceiving.
I found the poses to be easy to learn (I'm more of an aerobics person, not a yoga person), and they have increased my flexibility tenfold, which I never thought would happen. The breathing techniques really do relax you as you're doing the practice, and I feel like I'm doing something different and good for my body. Brenda Strong has a calm, soothing voice and explains the poses very well, which I think is important for a first-timer like myself.
The only thing that I was a bit put off from in this DVD is that at the very end of the practice, during the "surrender" portion, she suggests you turn off or pause for 5-10 minutes to fully relax. I feel like it sort of defeats the purpose to have to watch out for time, so I never surrender for that long! Other than that, I do this practice basically every day, and it is something I look forward to each morning.
Movie Review: Good workout for fertility
Summary: 4 Stars
I have 2 Yoga DVDs for fertility. The other one is "Bend, Breathe, and Conceive" with Anna Davis. I enjoy both and like to alternate them for variety and also to give my body a break. "Yoga 4 Fertility" with Brenda Strong does a lot of downward facing dog and forward bends. I find this somewhat strenuous on my shoulders and especially my neck so it's nice to do the other DVD on alternate days to give those parts of my body a rest. The workout is good though and focuses on stretching your waste and hips which is universally good for fertility. Brenda does a very good job of talking you through the exercises so you'll know what to do even if you're not able to look at the TV screen. There is no music, which personally is a relief because sometimes it can be cheesy and distracting. Instead, you hear sounds of nature and birds chirping. I find this DVD enjoyable and relaxing. The only minor criticism I have is that the relaxation at the end is abbreviated but Brenda suggests pausing the DVD for a few minutes.Movie Review: great instructor
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this DVD not knowing quite what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised.While the poses in this practice are nothing new to a yoga student (a lot of downward dogs, basic standing poses, squats, then basic forward bends like paschimottanasana, janu sirsasana; and some simple twists), the practice is energetic and flows well. The DVD is nicely produced with the instructor alone demonstrating poses, with voice-over cues. Brenda Strong's voice is very pleasant and she cues well with detailed instruction.
Thankfully, the sections of the DVD where she talks about fertility, yoga, breath, etc. can be skipped over when doing the practice, and she does not about these subjects during the actual asanas (I was concerned about this as to hear this doing practice would be distracting and get old). In fact, other than a few brief exercises involving energy work of some sort to the reproductive organs, I think this DVD is a nice practice for any yogini, not necessarily someone interested in enhancing fertility.
