Alright for what it is November 25, 2009 R. E. Cameron-dick (UK) I only followed this a couple of times because I found I prefered to do a pregnancy fitness dvd and then relax/stretch off on my own... I suppose it's personal choice. It was easy enough to follow, but a bit limited.
pregnancy yoga dvd September 3, 2009 Fiona Pembridge (Sheff, UK) I consider myself intermediate with my yoga experience and still felt somewhat challenged by this dvd.
I feel confident and safe performing the positions as specifically aimed at pregnant women.
I was a little disappointed with the relaxation section, very short, but of course you can lie as long as you like.
a very goos workout August 13, 2009 annetortue (Devon, England) I purchased the DVD when 15 weeks pregnant and I have really enjoyed the workout. It is made of several part : standing postures, seating postures and floorwork. Depending on your stage of the pregnancy you have the choice to follow one of the 3 practictionners, according to your flexibility and need for support. I am now in my last month and follow a mix both the 2nd and 3 rd trimester.
You need a chair, a yoga blanket (a simple blanket does the job perfectly), a strap (I use a scarf) and a block, especially in yoursecond trimester. Because I do not have a block at home, I used a shoe box or an Argos catalog! i get all the equipment ready while Shiva explain how the workout will take place (you can not skip that bit).
The pace is good, although different to my usual yoga teacher and it is suitable for both beginner and more adavnced practitionners. There is a good flow, none of that stop/go that you can have with other workouts and all in all the session lasts for 50 minutes (of course, you can make the relaxation at the end longer if you feel the need). It is possible to only do part of the workouts, for instance, just the seated postures, but you would have to fast-forward, because unfortunately the navigation is such that you can not just jump to the next section (hence the 4 stars)
Another little problem that I found was that there seems to be a little to many side stretches for my liking and by completing them on the chair, I do not feel as if I am actually streching anything at all. This is why I do not follow all the instructions for the 3rd trimester.
All in all a very good buy and Highly recommended.
Prenatal Yoga July 1, 2009 laucuv DVD arrived just as suggested - prompt and efficient service. The DVD so far has lived up to the positive reviews I read before purchasing.
Perfect for pregnancy! June 11, 2009 Spenner (London, UK) I highly recommend this to anyone who is pregnant, especially if (like me) they have never done yoga before. I decided to try it when my growning stomach started to cause backache and my muscles were complaining. I am a total convert - this is a great set of exercises, with enough to challenge you, though it's highly enjoyable. I always feel full of energy, relaxed and strong after finishing it - and I'd do it every day if I had time.
