4.0 out of 5 stars Be aware that this is Kundalini Yoga, May 29, 2006

This review is from: The Divine Mother Prenatal Yoga Series with Anna Getty (DVD)

I have been practicing yoga off and on for several years, though I definitely consider myself still a beginner. Most of my experience has been with Iyengar yoga, and I didn't realize that this was Kundalini yoga until I got the DVD. I've never practiced this kind before, so at first I was a little unsure that I was going to like it, and I remained skeptical until about halfway through my first run of this DVD. However, I really do like the gentle motions and the focus on breathing and meditation...I'm sure this practice will help me grow a relaxed baby and will also help me with labor. I also think that it's a fun DVD for the baby (all of the rocking and swaying must be very soothing for him or her). I plan to alternate using this DVD with "Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea" (a DVD I highly recommend). My main complaint about this DVD (and the Shiva Rea one) is that we don't see the postures in a "mirror image" and it can be a little confusing for people who are newer yoga practitioners. I also wish that Anna would be a little more informative about each posture (i.e., would let us know the benefits of each posture for us, for the baby, for labor). Otherwise, it's a nice DVD.

I almost didn't even consider this DVD because the picture is so dated looking...I figured it was from the 70s/80s and wanted something with current production quality. Actually, it's a modern DVD and the production is quite beautiful and soothing. I didn't find it at all distracting or hokey as I thought it might be. The voiceover is pleasant and doesn't get annoying the way some do. The three women demonstrating the poses are all in varying stages of pregnancy (very fit pregnancies). I'm out of shape and found a couple of exercises somewhat difficult (namely balancing on one opposite hand and knee with the other ones extended). The poses move faster than I've experienced with other yoga DVDs, though I was able to keep up with them fairly easily. My 6-year-old enjoyed it with me and declared it to be "relaxing" and "fun". She particularly liked the "light and spirit flowing right into her body". Seriously, her words, not mine. All in all, I highly recommend it for a mostly gentle but still somewhat stimulating workout and short but relaxing meditations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful yoga video - challenging and relaxing, April 28, 2007

This review is from: The Divine Mother Prenatal Yoga Series with Anna Getty (DVD)

I purchased both this DVD and the Shiva Rea Yoga DVD. For the first week or two, I switched back and forth between the two, however I found that I liked this DVD with Anna Getty so much that I ended up using it from then on. Although both of them were good, the one with Anna Getty was a bit more challenging (in a good way) and really stretched out my hips and back well.
