 A must --for prenatal exercise July 29, 2004
ComparisonShopper (Tampa, FL)

The only exercise I did during my prenatal phase was this video and walking on alternative days and I did not gain an ounce of extra weight.
This yoga video is doable even for those who've never done yoga before (me). It has many basic strengthening/stretching exercises that are great for preparing your body for the very exhausting birth process. I used it through out the entire 9 months of pregnancy and did not get bored with it.
It has three women in three stages of pregnancy-- with varying poses. Video uses yoga block, mat and rope and a chair (but I never used the block and rarely the rope)
I tried prenatal videos by Kathy Smith (sucks), and Crunch YogaMama (sucks), but they were boring and didn't feel like enough of an exercise. I highly recommend this video.
 Not for Experienced Yoga Mamas! October 21, 2005

I would definitely not recommend this workout to ANYONE who has previously practiced yoga. It is not challenging in the least bit. There is a whole lot of fluff in it. Shiva Rea taks too much in the beginning and you can't ffwd through it. I just want to exericse! I don't want to listen to her ramble on! She spends much too much time on kegels which if you are in your first pregnancy are irrelevant bc those muscles are already fit! If you have done yoga alot pre-pregnancy, stick with a regular yoga dvd until you are so big you cant move, and just do some modifications, such as not doing corpse pose during relaxation bc you should not be on your back after 4 mos. I have this dvd and now I don't know what to do w/ it. I am considering sending it to one of my pregnant girlfriends who is less fit and has never done yoga. Honestly, heed my advice, don't waste your money if you want to be remotely challenged.

I am in my fourth month and still really enjoying this video. I was doing a lot of power yoga before I got pregnant, and was quite fit, so I was afraid at first this might be too easy. But actually, during the first trimester I was suddenly and completely exhausted, so this video was just right. Now that I am feeling better, I am finding the video a little too easy and at times wish it offered some more strenuous poses. I think it will be excellent during the third trimester, though. I think for someone who is new to yoga it would be quite challenging, but the instructor is excellent and provides good modifications for every pose, so I think that anyone could get through it.
Relaxing, Low-Impact Yoga workout October 18, 2003

This tape was my first attempt at Yoga. After learning I was pregnant, I researched several different prenatal yoga tapes to find one that would focus more on building strength and flexibility, and less on New-Agey chanting or visualization. I am much more interested in preparing my body for labor than I am in chanting or mantras! From the reviews I read, this seemed to be the best prenatal yoga workout that would focus on the areas that I am interested in.Although i had never done Yoga, and actually didn't begin until I was in my second trimester, I found this tape extremely easy to follow. The poses are not terribly challenging, but I have definitely noticed a difference in my strength and flexibility, which is very encouraging! The one flaw that I have found is that after a month or so, the workout seemed a little too easy. So I got the Leisa Hart Fitmama Workout also, and now I alternate those 5-6 days a week. I highly recommend using these two together - the Fitmama Workout is more high impact (it actually makes me sweat!) so I feel more worked out at the end, while the Prenatal Yoga is a good, low-impact workout for the days in between. I've read some reviews that criticize Shiva Rea for not actually talking during workout (it's all voiceover). But that really didn't bother me. She does come off a little drippy at times, but all-in-all this is one of the most focused Prenatal Yoga workouts that I've come across!
 Good, but not great July 6, 2005

As a yoga instructor, I was looking for a good prenatal yoga DVD to do at home after I stopped teaching my regular class. I would recommend this only for women who have practiced yoga for some time, as some of the stretching is very deep and held for at least 3 breaths. But I do feel like I get all the "kinks" out of my back after doing this DVD. Drawbacks: I can't understand why a seasoned pro like Shiva Rea doesn't understand the mirror technique for teaching--she instructs you to bend to the right, but you're seeing her bend to the left, which is confusing. Also, I think the poses are out of order. After the warmup, I forward to the standing postures and leave the kegel work for the end of the practice, as I find that stretching part too challenging for the beginning of the practice.
