Nice, but not "an experience.", April 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Songs: All Time & Crunch Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I already have The Method's Baby and Mom Prenatal Yoga, and it is this that I am comparing Crunch Yoga Mama to. Crunch, while more light-spirited and up-beat than Prenatal Yoga, gives less mood, less instruction. I was not always sure what the leader was instructing me to do with my hips, and this made me worry about my back. In Prenatal Yoga, there is beutiful, soothing music coming from a live band and a very calm instructor, who I first thought was hokey, and later came to appreciate. Crunch is a little piecemeal compared to this, with less flow and rythm. It's more of a class than an experience. Still, it was a little easier, nice for a change, and added more poses to my repertoire.

Prenatal yoga for EVERYONE, February 14, 2001
This review is from: Baby Songs: All Time & Crunch Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I love this video! It is a very low, key stretching workout. The instructor is sure to point out adaptations for each move and there is one mom demonstrating those adaptations. The instructor is also very good at talking you thru and reminding you to use an adaptation or ease up if you're pushing too much. She also makes the point that you will feel different every day and just to do as much as you can today. I had bought another prenatal yoga tape that said it was for everyone, but it was very cardiovascular and too intense even in my early second trimester. This one is excactly what I was looking for--some relaxing stretching to keep me in good shape for the delivery. You do not have to be a yoga expert or in super shape. I truly see me using this tape every day for the rest of my pregnancy (I'm currently 5 months prego).

A Fun Back-Saver, May 10, 2001
This review is from: Baby Songs: All Time & Crunch Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I'm a novice at yoga, and purchased this video along with the "Prenatal Yoga" video. Both are great. The Prenatal Yoga video features more soothing music and relaxation techniques. The Crunch video, however, offers more stretching moves and positions. Women featured on the video are in all stages of pregnancy; and modified versions are explained with each exercise. The instructor is more "spunky" than in the Prenatal Yoga video, perhaps appealing to a younger or more athletic crowd. Depending on my mood for the day, determines which video I will watch. Both are great and wonderful back-savers! A must-have for pregnant women!
