Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The best thing about this prenatal yoga program is that there is a model for each trimester. Instructor Shiva Rea demonstrates each of the stretches and exercises for the first trimester, and two pregnant women show modifications for the second and third trimesters (they're even dressed in different colors for easy reference). This removes the self-doubt home-exercisers often have about the safety of certain moves--especially in that cumbersome final stage of pregnancy. Using gentle voice-over instruction, Rea and her assistants take viewers through a half hour of meditational stretches using blocks and chairs for support. She follows that up with 16 minutes of floor work: lunge pose, bridge pose, child's pose, plank pose--all with the necessary adjustments. She winds things up with a four-minute guided relaxation on her back--the traditional position--with the second-trimester woman on her side and the third on her side with one leg up on a chair. By including the different adaptations, Rea has made a program with the flexibility to carry an expectant mom through her entire pregnancy--and beyond, if she wishes. --Kimberly Heinrichs Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good stretch, not a workoutI found this DVD to provide a good stretch. It was slow and boring, though, and not at all a workout. I couldn't even do the whole thing without a break, because I was too bored. I found Shiva Rea's omission of the "h" in exhale annoying, as someone else here mentioned. The 3 different options for modifications was helpful, though for several of the poses, the woman in her 3rd trimester didn't seem to be doing much at all, it was so modified. I'm in my 3rd trimester, but followed the woman in her ... Read More Rating: - Easy and relaxingThis yoga practice is more stretching and meditation than a true yoga workout. Overall it's good for those two things, but if you're looking for more power yoga or vinyasa style yoga this is not it. Rating:  - poorly instructed, mediocre workouti am a reasonably fit and healthy young woman in my early 20's, and was a regular at my local gym and cycling class for several months before i got pregnant. after i got pregnant and had to take a break from my routine because of horrible all-day-sickness and exhaustion i was looking for something gentle, but still somewhat challenging, to ease me back into a more regular routine again. i picked up this dvd because i thought prenatal yoga would be fun and relaxing. i have never really done yoga before ... Read More Rating: - great dvdI borrowed this a few times early on in my second trimester and thought it was boring and too slow, so bought another faster paced pre-natal yoga workout. then when my pregnancy progressed and i started having more aches and pains, the faster dvd was too much, and i went back to shiva rea. Now its definately the right pace for me, and its a good allover workout. I would say its a bit slow for first tri and early second tri, but its great for the second half of second tri and third tri. I think its ... Read More Rating: - Great DVDWe liked the DVD and we really liked that it only took a few days to get to us. Great seller.Great price and this seller is recommended. |
