Product Description
Shows yoga modifications for the various trimesters of pregnancy.
Genre: Pregnancy Workouts
Rating: NR
Release Date: 23-SEP-2003
Media Type: DVD
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

 Almost Too Gentle March 15, 2010
N. Thiel
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased 2 prenatal yoga DVD's this one and Complete Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Short Forms 2 DVD Set. Here is my comparison:
Shiva Rae Prenatal Yoga: I like that it has 3 women, one for each trimester but I honestly can't imagine ever needing to modify as much as the third trimester woman does (she uses a chair in some cases) I use this DVD on days when I want a VERY gentle practice which is not that often.
Complete Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga by Jennifer Wolfe: I have found that I use this DVD almost every day since it also has 3 models, one for each trimester and it has 15, 30, 45 and 75 minute routines plus labor poses and a partner section (which my partner actually does with me!). I love this DVD. The best part is that Jennifer is a doula and childbirth professional so I feel really safe while maintaining my strength and flexibility. This is like a regular vinyasa class, just modified for pregnancy.
 Excellent purchase March 4, 2010

I just completed my first trimester and started looking around for prenatal classes.My gym yoga instructor asked me to join the gentle yoga class since its the same as prenatal.However when I attended I was constantly fearing that I was the only pregnant woman there and some moves I did were no-no for pregnant women. Another place I called charged 15$/class. Thats when I decided to buy the CD and practice yoga at home. The CD is broken down into 4 sections - breathing/warm up, standing,sitting and relxation all for 50 mins. Right now I have decided to start with warm up and end with relaxation and switch between standing and sitting on alternate days. I like how the Cd has 3 instructors- one in each trimester and how they modify the poses accordingly. The music is relaxing and so is the way the instructor talks. A few places I have noticed the instructions are quick, and you need to watch the screen but I think once you get used to it you will not have to look at your TV.
Felt great after the workout March 4, 2010

I have never done yoga before, but wanted to give it a try since my workouts were a bit more limited with my pregnancy, mainly due to lack of energy. The stretching and breathing were both stress relievers that instantly gave me more energy and I felt great afterwards. The video itself was easy to follow, I never felt that I had to "catch up." There are also different sessions that you can pick. Just doing two made a difference for me.
Its pretty good March 3, 2010

This is not my favorite pregnancy workout, however it is the perfect pregnancy all yoga DVD. This is because as long as you are really in to working the stretches it is a great middle ground. It isn't hard and it isn't easy. There isn't a single move that ANY pregnant woman can't do but it isn't to easy, it is a long video and a lot of movements. It might be right for you. I use it the day after a harder workout video, to rejuvenate my body, I also use it when I have taken to many days off to get my body prepared for a harder workout the next day. I also know from experience that at the very end of my pregnancy this will be my only workout video.
Good video for relaxation and flexibility. February 28, 2010
andie122
I purchased this video along with three other pregnancy workout videos, and I have to say that this one is my least favorite. It's a good choice if you want to increase your flexibility and relax, but I don't really feel like I've had a "workout" when I'm done so it's hard to justify spending the time doing this video.
