 This is a video, not a DVD... January 29, 2004

What I mean is, all they did was take the videotape and record it onto a DVD. There's no DVD menu or chapter selections, so you have to sit there and fast forward through the introduction or to get to whichever part of the exercise routine you want to do. I suppose this isn't a humungous deal, but if I had a choice between this DVD and one that DID have menu and chapter selections, I'd opt for the latter.As for the CONTENT of the DVD, I guess it's okay. I've done the routine twice and am already a bit bored with it, and I find the narrator's voice telling me to "imagine your baby is enjoying the rocking motion," etc. a little annoying. I also agree with what another reviewer said: the modifications for third trimester are way too easy. I'm at 29 weeks and I did the first trimester exercises right off the bat.
 Good for the 3rd trimester September 20, 2004

I bought this DVD early in my pregnancy, and found it too easy. However, now at 9 months pregnant, it's the only yoga I can still do. The pace is good, and the adjusted postures are still comfortable. I'd recommend it for those people who are now finding regular yoga practice no longer feasible.
 not good if you're used to practicing yoga February 1, 2005

i have been doing yoga for years and years and the one thing that has always been consistent, no matter where i went, was that you hold the poses for several breaths. in this video, i felt like the second i was in the pose, it was time to move on to the next one. you really need the time to breathe into a pose which shiva does not give you. plus, her pronounciation of exhale is totally annoying. i just got rocki's prenatal yoga and i love it. i alternate it with my fit mama dvd for varied benefits.
Relaxing, but boring if you're fit June 26, 2006

Even well into my 8th month, I find this yoga DVD not nearly challenging enough. If you are fit and want a good toning workout, you'll need more than this (try The Perfect Pregnancy Workout for great toning exercises). It is relaxing, especially the breathing, and the stretching feels nice, but it's not much compared to non-prenatal yoga. While there may be some poses I can't do now, this DVD seems to be designed for women who need to be quite careful -- or who just want to stretch and relax. So a pleasant DVD, but not much for your muscles!

This is the cure for those tight, stretched, achy muscles that make it difficult to sleep or move comfortably! Nothing works better for me. After an hour of these stretching and relaxing exercises I feel like myself again. The instructor isn't hokey and there aren't any of those new-age, flakey, or quasi-religious overtones like some other videos out there. The instructor is easy to follow even if you haven't done yoga before. Best of all, after I did this video just once I felt more flexible and it was easier for me to stand up straight and breathe!
