This review is from: Prenatal Yoga: 20 Routines for Common Prenatal Issues for Each Trimester - Iyengar Style (DVD)

As I started my third trimester I was happy I bought this DVD even though I had some others. This one seems to really understand what I am going through as my body changes (okay, I am bigger now) and the issues in the trimesters with a selection of routines for each trimester and the changes.

Very well thought out DVD and addresses what I feel. The backache routine is helpful, and I am also really enjoying the energizer and general routine. I am actually still able to do some yoga now, it is easy and gentle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed, February 6, 2009

This review is from: Prenatal Yoga: 20 Routines for Common Prenatal Issues for Each Trimester - Iyengar Style (DVD)

I am nearing the end of my second trimester and this is my second pregnancy. My first was very easy and I was happy to continue with a modified version of my fairly intense pre-pregnancy fitness program. This time around I wanted something more nurturing and something I could do at home.

My midwife suggested yoga. I had done some post-natal yoga however I would say I am a beginner. I purchased 2 DVDs and we reviewed them together. She felt both would be fine for me. I am using both of them although I find myself reaching for this one more often.

There is plenty of material on this DVD and it will take you through your pregnancy. It offers routines for each trimester and has been very helpful with dealing with not so wonderful symptoms that can come with pregnancy.

There is only one model demonstrating the routines. (A different one for each trimester). These woman seem to be very experienced and not just pregnant models. I prefer to have only one person to watch.

The instruction is very detailed but easy to follow. This isn't a fast paced workout so you have time to follow the direction, get into the pose, adjust as needed and you won't feel rushed to move along to the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Is Working, January 2, 2009

This review is from: Prenatal Yoga: 20 Routines for Common Prenatal Issues for Each Trimester - Iyengar Style (DVD)

I picked this up to continue my yoga and hopefully help with some issues and so far it is working - the routine for morning sickness has really seemed to help the last 10 days or so and that alone makes this worthwhile to me even if I do not use anything else. I had bad morning sickness the first time I was pregnant and it was happening again.

There are sections for all trimesters (I am only using the first right now) and like Denise Austin's video, this one seems very focused on keeping exercises safe. There is alot of good information about how to use the DVD, proper positioning of your body with support where needed, and other items.

A quick look at the later trimesters looks good and they look tailored for proper physical support, but I have not yet used them.
