Best prenatal yoga video
I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and have continued to do yoga during my pregnancies, taking regular yoga classes up to 37/38 weeks (with some modifications). This is hands-down the best prenatal yoga dvd that I have done, because there is actually a workout involved. A lot of prenatal yoga videos that I have tried are so gentle that there is little-to-no workout, and I wonder what is the point? This workout does not really raise your heart rate, but involves stretching and some strength building, all relevant to being pregnant and preparing you for labor. I highly recommend this dvd for anybody in their late second or third trimester. (And no previous yoga experience is needed.)
Must have practiced Yoga!
I feel bad giving this one star as someone which many hours put into practicing yoga probably would enjoy it. I'm 6 months and have been doing prenatal videos the whole time and still couldn't keep up with this one. This video has must more deep deep stretching/twisting that I would be fascinated to find the average pregnant woman be able to do.
Again, if you're incredibly flexible still in your pregnancy and/or want a really challenging video go for it. If your trying to just get a good stretch and relatxation that works for your body try another video like the Heather Seiniger or Desi Bartlett ones!
Pregnancy yoga workout with both challenging poses and stretching.
This was a nice yoga workout. I liked that it was not too long, but I still felt benefit from it. You get in some nice stretching, but there are also a few challenging poses (goddess-work those thigh muscles for labor)! At fifteen weeks my belly is still small enough to do all the poses easily, but the narrator walks you through modifications for later in your pregnancy. Depending on your level of practice, yoga blocks would be helpful. This is also a great deal at just $1.99 to rent it for seven days! I think I will go ahead and purchase it after the 7 day rental is up.
