Excellent!

I used this during my pregnancy from the third month to the day before I delivered. All the poses shown were very useful when I delivered my baby - they worked the areas of my body that were most needed durning labor. They also kept my muscles toned so I believe following this DVD made my recovery faster. Excellent choice and I would recommend this to any woman who is pregnant.

Tough but good

When I was pregnant, my OB was extremely relaxed about everything I did but the only thing she told me not to do was any kind of tummy tightening. I was so nervous about that after, so I decided to do this prenatal yoga and just be careful with any tummy stuff. It is tough (depending on your fitness level of course, & I was at that point I'd say between beginner to intermediate) but made me feel so great after, relaxed as well as feeling like I did something great for me & my baby! I think yoga is great for any time in your life, and there's something to fit any fitness level and time in your life, and this prenatal yoga fit the bill for me! I do recommend it!

felt good during pregnancy

I did this DVD during my first pregnancy. I remember wondering why someone would need to make so many modifications, but then I did the DVD the day before I gave birth and I found out! Shiva Rea is a good instructor and I felt very centered and relaxed when doing this DVD. It was great preparation for labor. My midwife even asked me in the middle of labor if I did yoga, because I was so flexible (got down into a low squat.) I would definitely recommend this DVD to friends.

Good low-impact workout

I really like that all three levels are demonstrated. I wish this video was a little more of a workout, I'm sure later in my pregnancy I'll appreciate that it's low-impact, but currently I find myself supplementing the video with gym workouts (I have always been very active though and my doctor ok'd the added exercise since my body is already accustomed to it). I think this is a great start for any level though, especially if you are not active, it's important for the baby to have some activity. This video is a great ease into stretching and readying your body for the coming changes.

I am in my 2nd trimester and enjoy this yoga course very much, it's incredibly well designed for healthy pregnancy and delivery. I have been doing yoga for many years, and feel this is challenging me plenty.

Great DVD

I bought this for my wife and she loves it. The breathing exercises are great as well as the yoga. Shiva Rea has a bit of a blank stare the whole time but does a great job.

great for beginner or relaxation

Even if you're fit and used to doing more involved/physical yoga, this dvd is worthy for it's breath, bloodflow, and opening benefits. I was looking for something prenatal that was safely CHALLENGING and toning as well. This one is not challenging, but will be good to have around for late second/third trimester. She has easily defined sections which make it easy to jump to certain sections if you don't wish to do entire practice.

I bought this for my first pregnancy and just dug it back out for my second. Wonderful, easy-to-follow modifications for all three trimesters. I always felt wonderful after each workout.
