5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, relaxing yoga program, March 10, 2008

By	A. Carleton-Hug (Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a novice to yoga, and have been doing the yoga on "Yoga 4 Fertility" for two weeks now. I am very impressed by the program. The instructor, Brenda Strong, clearly explains all of the positions and demonstrates these in a very peaceful garden setting. She provides well-timed cues to prepare you for the next move, and offers helpful hints to get you to move to greater levels of stretching and flexibility. Her voice is both calming and encouraging. I truly look forward to doing the program each time, and find myself incredibly relaxed by the end. As an unanticipated bonus, in just two weeks, I've noticed that my posture and flexibility have improved.

Brenda Strong has been an advocate for fertility issues for years, and is a board member of the American Fertility Association. At the beginning of the DVD, there is an informative section about how yoga can contribute to enhancing fertility. This section can be skipped on subsequent viewings. The actual yoga program shares four steps: observation - helping you become aware of where you unconsciously hold tension; breath - a great tutorial on how to use ujjayi breath to calm the nervous system linking mind and body; movement - using yoga to activate the relaxation response, releasing tension and balancing hormones; and surrender - simply letting go in each moment and being present. The program takes about 50 minutes to complete - longer if you pause the DVD for additional stretching or final resting and relaxation.

A word of caution: there are several versions of this DVD available. The copy with the photo of the woman in the dark leotard on the front is a PIRATED version. The version with the photo of a woman (Brenda Strong) in light blue pants and a pink top is the most recent version. I HIGHLY recommend that version of the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga 4 fertility, January 31, 2008

By	Jamie Lynne "forever hopeful" (VA, USA) - See all my reviews

This DVD is excellent for relaxing! She takes time to explain every pose, even the breathing technique in detail. I have only been using it for three weeks and already noticed some "shifts", so to speak. I will say some of the moves are more advanced, even as I have been practicing with a yoga class during the week. I am really enjoying this DVD!
Best of luck for healthy babies in 2008,
Jamie Lynne

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Relaxing DVD, but also a Workout!, May 28, 2008

By	Jana - See all my reviews

I highly recommend this DVD. It's very relaxing, but it's a great workout as well! I love the routine. Brenda is an amazing instructor. She explains every detail and is really very calm, nice and encouraging. She is a lovely person to have in your living room :-)

This DVD may be a bit difficult for beginners with short hamstrings, but it's not a problem to bend your knees!

You need just a yoga mat. No other equipment which is great.
