This video is great at explaining the poses, even if you have never taken Yoga before. She keeps the new-agey stuff to a minimum and focuses on the poses themselves. I would suggest (as she does) to watch the video once all the way through, and then practice the poses.

I had to stop after the first 1/2 hour the first time I did the poses, because I was pooped. After the second time, I was able to do the full hour of poses. Feel free to pause the video while you get your props and yourself in position.

My husband purchased this for me as a gift during my 3rd trimester. I had been practicing prenatal yoga from a book roughly 3-4 times a week throughout my pregnancy. He thought the dvd would eliminate the need to constantly refer to the book in the middle of my practice. I think the dvd was thoughtfully put together and is a great for those just starting yoga while pregnant. The instructor provides good direction and offers modifications to poses that may be too difficult. The pace of the practice is super slow. Personally, I found the whole dvd to be elementary and boring. Upon completion of the dvd, I was expecting to feel like I had a good workout instead it felt like I had taken a sedative. Bottom line: great for beginners, skip it if you have any yoga experience.
