4.0 out of 5 stars it's not perfect but i really enjoy it, and suspect that it helps..., November 2, 2005

This review is from: Fertility Yoga with Monica Morell, Ph.D.: Guided Relaxation & Therapeutice Practice, with Offered Modifications (DVD)

some of the reviews below sound so enthusiastic it makes me wonder if they are friends of the DVD's author. some of the reviews below seem overly harsh. I land somewhere in between, but closer to the positive side.

I like the flow of the poses. I've done challenging yoga in the past, but since then I've had injuries, so I needed a medium-level practice. this dvd fit my needs well, and I imagine if you are a beginner, as long as you aren't adverse to trying new things, you could make it work for you (she offers easier versions of some of the more difficult poses).

the biggest criticism i have was mentioned below: two poses are left out; they are done on one side but she skips them on the other. (The poses are bent-leg triangle and reverse triangle.) it's unfortunate that they didn't catch that problem. however, the fix is simple -- pause the DVD and do them on your own; you've already heard the instructions for the first side so it's pretty easy to do.

some people mentioned problems with her tone of voice but i had no problems with it. most of the yoga instructors i know have a vocal quality like that. she seemed very direct, straightforward, and gave me the info I needed to get the pose done.

what i really liked is that the series does seem well-tailored to fertility. as far as I can tell, it was not only relaxing in general, but really helped with blood flow and relaxation-energy to that area of the body. I rather liked the chanting -- it seemed to send vibrations right where you wanted them -- although i'm too embarrassed to do it if my husband is at home!

i haven't used the other fertility yoga dvd's so I can't compare. but i chose this one based on comparing amazon's customer reviews, and as far as I can tell so far, I made a good choice. I've only been using it 3 weeks, so it's too soon to tell if it has made a difference, fertility-wise. But it has really helped my relaxation and my attitude towards ttc, and I know that can only be good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this DVD, June 18, 2007

This review is from: Fertility Yoga with Monica Morell, Ph.D.: Guided Relaxation & Therapeutice Practice, with Offered Modifications (DVD)

My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and I found myself very stressed out about trying to conceive again. I loved Fertility Yoga video with Monica the first time I tried it, as it helped me find balance and relaxation. Yoga typically bores me, but this video has a lot of different poses and moves quickly enough to keep me engaged. I would highly recommend it for any woman.

This review is from: Fertility Yoga with Monica Morell, Ph.D.: Guided Relaxation & Therapeutice Practice, with Offered Modifications (DVD)

I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years. I started with classes, which I now take maybe one per year, and currently work with tapes. Most of these poses were beyond beginner (such as 'Threading the Needle', which can be dangerous for people with previous neck injuries) and didn't offer much in the way of attainable modifications.

The production is amateurish at best and the yoga model looking into the camera is greatly distracting. The models were obviously people from her classes and not professional instructors as you can see them struggle with the poses as well as breathing.

I recommend that you will better spend your money on 'Yoga 4 Fertility' with Brenda Strong. Her voice is soothing and her instruction is very thorough.

Best of Luck!
