Editorial Reviews

Selected by Fit Pregnancy magazine as a 2006 Editor's Pick, this program has three yoga routines and three guided relaxations to help you be more comfortable now and prepare you for childbirth. The routines can be done separately or linked together for longer practice sessions. Equal emphasis is given to movement, breath, and relaxation. OPEN: seated and kneeling poses to connect your body, mind and breath. Breathing lesson -- full flowing breath. (25 min.) FOCUS: standing and seated poses to energize and build strength. Breathing lesson -- deep 'ocean' breath. (35 min.) SURRENDER: floor poses to help you relax and release. Breathing lesson -- space between breaths. (20 min.) Use the 10-minute guided relaxations to end your practice, or do them on their own for a restful break in your day. FLOWER, FEATHER and CLOCK appeal to different senses to help you relax, release tension, connect more deeply with your baby, and replenish your energy. "As the former editor of a yoga magazine, I've seen a lot of yoga videos. This is one of the best -- pregnant or not. It's clear and concise, and the relaxations at the end are fantastic for overwhelmed moms-to-be." Hillari Dowdle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Next Best Thing to Yoga Class, January 30, 2006

This review is from: Prenatal Yoga: A Complete Home Practice for a Healthy Mother and Baby (DVD)

This is my second pregnancy and I don't have time to make it to classes like I did the first time around. I've used several prenatal exercise dvds and have found this to be one of the best, mainly because the instuctions are very clear. It might not be for you if you're looking for something to get your heart rate up, etc. but it is a great yoga workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Prenatal Yoga DVD, April 19, 2007

This review is from: Prenatal Yoga: A Complete Home Practice for a Healthy Mother and Baby (DVD)

I'm not a huge yogie, but did do some yoga -about once/week before PG. I love the flexibility of doing my Yoga at home, so I wanted a DVD and not a class. This DVD is perfect!! It has three routines -

* seated and kneeling poses
* standing and seated poses
* side lying poses

and you can do one, two or all three at a time. (the range from 23 -32 mins each). Also, there are three different relaxation routines that you can choose from. (approx 10 mins each)

The workout feels just right for me. If I was a serious yogie I might want a bit more strenuous of a workout - but it's certainly more than enough to get the energy and blood moving and some good stretches, and get that great 'after yoga' feeling going. Of course you can reach/stretch more or less. The instructions are super clear too.

They include lots of modifications to do as you get bigger so I think that will be good too. AND...it's true yoga from a real yoga studio - centering breaths and balance etc. and not just doing the poses -that was important to me.

Lastly, they have practice sheets that you can download and take with you if you are traveling -which is very handy.

Edited to add -while I did this DVD I ran into some problems where i couldn't do one of the poses and I e-mailed the company and they sent me another modification suggestion with picture included -within 2 days!! How cool is that!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Prenatal Yoga Video, July 15, 2005

A fan (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prenatal Yoga: A Complete Home Practice for a Healthy Mother and Baby (DVD)

I have the privilege of participating in Patty Slote's prenatal yoga classes in person, and every single time I attend class I feel so much more relaxed and at peace with myself and my pregnancy. This video allows me to bring that feeling home with me. Patty's voice is calming and comforting, the yoga moves are wonderful for working out the kinks of pregnancy and the music is peaceful and not distracting. I would highly recommend this DVD for anyone who is looking to benefit from prenatal yoga at home!
