3.0 out of 5 stars I was looking for mutual activity, September 20, 2005

This review is from: Yoga Mommies: Mommy & Baby Yoga (DVD)

I had been looking for a DVD that would give me something to do with my extremely active 3 month old. Unfortunately, there is not much to choose from! Mutual activity was first, exercise was second. Yoga Mommies includes the child in the exercise but not as much as I would have liked. The majority of the exercises have your child just sitting on your lap, not participating.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very basic,adequate, but not extraordinary, August 17, 2006

This review is from: Yoga Mommies: Mommy & Baby Yoga (DVD)

This DVD is a good basic guide to Yoga with your baby, but it stops there. The baby in this video was a 5 month old, probably the ideal age for performing the few poses in this work out. I was looking for something a little more extensive and with more direction than what this offered.

The background and music is lovely, and very relaxing. The few things that I would have liked to see are as follows:

1. I too, like another reviewer, would have liked to see more integrated activites with the baby. There are only a couple exercises that the instructor shows with the baby not on the mat or sitting in the lap. I was hoping for something a little more co-active.
2. While the instructors voice and words are quite lovely, there are many many still shots in the DVD instead of an all over start to finish dynamic work out. I think that the beginning meditation is an unrealistic amount of time to spend with your baby just sitting and relaxing unless your child is 6 months or younger.
3. The translation to an older baby is not really present, as I stated previously, it doesn't seem like you can use some of the poses and instruction she offers with a crawling or mobile baby.

All the while, this is a lovely display of editing, music, and visual imagery, it is just lacking a little more depth. I think that you could find in a book the same kind of instruction, with more extensive poses, such as Baby Om.

Good DVD, solid, lovely, but not quite exceptional.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to connect with your baby and continue your yoga practice!!!, February 9, 2006

This review is from: Yoga Mommies: Mommy & Baby Yoga (DVD)

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the reviewer from Michigan. I found this DVD to be a wonderful tool for integrating my yoga practice with my baby. The baby in this DVD seemed very active and the instructor worked around his activity level constantly stressing that it is most important to take care of our baby's needs first and foremost.

If you are looking to resume your yoga practice while bonding with your baby this DVD is for you. Accompanied by her son, the instructor not so much instructs but guides you through your practice. The soothing music, beauty of the desert, and the inspirational messages will not only transport you away from your worries during your Mommy and Baby yoga session, but will leave you feeling refreshed, empowered, and spiritually connected with your baby.
