 Love, Love, Love it! April 5, 2008
I tried 3 different yoga DVDs during my pregnancy, and I love this one. The instructor is really positive and calming. She smiles a lot and talks to you like an equal, which I really appreciate. I was a beginner to yoga and had no problem learning the poses. I'm so glad I found this. I've even used it a few times since having my baby.
Great for my back and hips March 23, 2008
This video is great if you're having back, neck, or hip pain. The instructor is easy to follow and they make sure to have modifications available if needed. The pace is slow and relaxing focusing mainly on stretches. If you're looking for something more fast paced, this isn't the one for you, but if you want to work out sore muscles and sleep better, try it.
Great for the rest of us February 20, 2008
I am not a yoga person, but I am in very good shape. Most Pre-natal yoga videos are for people who normally do yoga apparently all the time. This one is good because it is slow and not overly taxing, yet you feel streched where you need to during pregnancy.
 Slow moving February 10, 2008
This was much to slow moving for me. I found myself getting agitated because it seemed to be dragging on and that is definitely not what you want out of yoga, to be agitated.

WHAT I LIKE
- I am a beginner and I found that I can follow the exercises without looking at the TV.
- When she says bend to the right she means your right so you can copy her easily as she bends to her left.
- There are about 6 women of all different body shapes behind the instructor which I like because I don't want to look at all slim, flexible women while I am getting bigger and bigger!
- A pleasant and friendly instructor with a nice voice (although her top gapes a little when she bends over in front of the camera. Nothing obscene in the slightest and when she is standing you would not think anything of it. It's just a little thing I noticed that I though was odd).
- The stretches are comfortable.
- Background music is pleasant and soft enough to go unnoticed
- The set is OK, modern, nothing special, nothing irritating to look at repeatedly.
- I do not find her phrases irritating even though she always tells you to look down at your belly, when I'd be happy to forget about my belly for a few minutes and simply be told to look down.
I enjoy doing the DVD but am going to buy another one as this one gets a bit boring because...
WHAT I DO NOT LIKE SO MUCH
- The actual stretches are really, really spaced out because the instructor talks in between them. She usually gives instructions for modifying the stretch and things like that but I think you spend half of the tape just standing waiting for the next stretch. I hold the stretch longer or do an extra set and make sure I have the remote close by and fast forward between each stretch. Yes, the inactive parts really are long enough that it is worth fast forwarding!
- The instructor LOVES downward facing dog pose. I'm sure it is great for "creating space for the baby" (her favorite phrase) but it gets really tedious to do the same pose over and over and over. Last night I found myself wincing every time she said to fold in half from standing or straighten your legs from being on all fours.
Ths is very gentle and the instructor is pleasant. I find it very easy and relaxing to switch on this DVD after a long day at work. I recomend the DVD but be aware that although it runs 45min, you can get it done in 30min if you fast forward the inactive parts between streches.
