Customer Rating:      Summary: WONDERFUL prenatal exercise Comment: This DVD is truly terrific. It is very easy to follow, and the instructions are very clear. As a long-time yoga lover, I am pleased to see that the video gives subtle but important safety instruction, along with emphasizing the usefulness of isometrics during yoga. In general, though, it is super relaxing. Three fifteen minute exercise segments plus a guided relaxation section at the end make for a perfect after-work yoga session. For the last couple of hours at work every day, I look forward to coming home, getting out my mat, and settling into these relaxing (yet challenging) stretches. I can feel my breath capacity expanded after completing the workout. After using this in my first and second trimesters, I am very impressed with the clear modifications and with having the different instructors in different stages so you can see how the modifications work. I hope to use this DVD up until the very end of my pregnancy. The relaxation benefits are incredible.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great prenatal yoga dvd Comment: This is a great exercise dvd that helps you relax, stretch, and strengthen. Whenever I have a headache I pop this dvd in and do the yoga routine. I do this routine two or three times per week. I supplement this with walking 30 minutes on a tredmill about two times per week. You will need a normal height chair, yoga block, yoga strap, and blanket to do this workout.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great for expetant mothers Comment: This is great, and the best part about it is the fact that they have the different trimesters to follow!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great prenatal yoga workout! Comment: I used this video throughout the 9 months of my pregnancy. I averaged about 4 workouts a week. There are three women in the video, each doing the postures for their trimester. Excellent for flexibility and not strenuous. Music is cheesy, so I muted it and played my own music on the stereo.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not very challenging Comment: I got this DVD for x-mas when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I'm now at 34 weeks and I've done it a couple different times during my pregnancy, but its just not that challenging. I never break a sweat or get my heart rate up. It does help to stretch out sore muscles, but if you expect an actual workout like traditional yoga, this is not the right DVD. I gave up on it and have been going to a pre-natal yoga center nearby that has been much more beneficial.
