5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite of the pre-natal DVD's, October 13, 2008

This review is from: Sara Holliday: Prenatal Yoga Series (DVD)

This is my favorite prenatal yoga DVD (I have bought many!). I keep pretty fit (light running, walking, light weights etc.) and this DVD compliments the regime perfectly. I always feel like I've actually had a workout afterwards. This is my second pregnancy and the half hour sessions are better now that I have a demanding toddler. I alternate between the 3 different sessions (the 2nd trimester is great for my back) and so never get bored.

I've seen comments about poor production - I note I am more interested in the actual workout than production. For example, Shiva Rea's DVD, while it is well-produced, drives me mad as it is too easy and slow.

Other DVD's I like are Dr. Christine Anderson's Dynamic Prenatal Yoga DVD (longer, was great for my first pregnancy ... again production not great) and the Perfect Pregnancy Workout (love this one).

This review is from: Sara Holliday: Prenatal Yoga Series (DVD)

i have been practicing yoga for a long time and bought all three for my preganacy...
each time after i doing the reverse postures in the series, i start feeling vomiting - i do not think those reverse postures are good for pregant woman, i think sitting and standing postures might be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You for an Actual Challenge!!!!!!, April 26, 2010

This review is from: Sara Holliday: Prenatal Yoga Series (DVD)

Sara does an incredible job of preparing an expectant mother for carrying a baby 9 months, delivering the baby and having the strength to carry on postpartum. Many of the other pregnancy videos are very basic, not even allowing the HR to go up. This one may be a bit challenging for those who have not been exercising, but I highly recommend trying and getting as far as possible, taking as many breaks as necessary. I am a certified personal trainer, also in prenatal/pospartum exercise. It is much more important to get in a challenging workout, even if more rests are required than to not try, or waste time on things that are too easy. This is the best full-body workout I have tried during pregnancy. This is my 2nd pregnancy, and I used this for my first through the third trimester. It was WONDERFUL! Again if some parts are too challenging, modify to a comfortable level but don't give up!
