4.0 out of 5 stars great dvd, May 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Yoga Zone - Postures for Pregnancy (DVD)

I really like this dvd. I've been doing yoga at the gym, but it's not prenatal. This allows me to do yoga at home, and focus on the important areas for pregancy/childbirth. Stay away from the "Baby & Me" yoga dvd and get this one instead. It's much closer to true yoga with poses and breathing techniques, not a lot of new age mumbo jumbo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great relief for a changing body, March 1, 2003

This review is from: Yoga Zone - Postures for Pregnancy (DVD)

I got this DVD as a gift and was a bit surprised and disappointed when I realized that it was the husband explaining all the moves while his wife demonstrated. I mean, we're supposed to get advice from other women, right? However, I gave it a go and tried it a couple of times.

I have to admit that the techniques (or postures) in this video have helped me the most. It's not a yoga workout. It's simply different postures that you can get into to help relieve some of the pressures on your changing body. I find that I use it more as stretching ideas than an actual workout.

I also miss it when I don't do it - my body starts to feel more constricted and uncomfortable.

Again, this is NOT a workout video. For that, I'd suggest Rocki's Prenatal Yoga video. This one contains different poses and detailed information on how to do the pose properly. Most of the different poses are accompanied by a reason for the pose - i.e. This one relieves the neck and shoulders, this one helps with tension in the back of the legs, etc. So that after you've done the video a couple of times, you quickly pick up on the different poses you can do when you only have time for a momentary release. For instance, your lower back is hurting, so take a moment to stand against the wall and slide down into a squatting position. Then get up and continue on with what you're doing. (Although your office mates may think you're a bit odd, they tend to excuse any weird actions during pregnancy.)

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, April 1, 2001

This review is from: Yoga Zone: Postures for Pregnancy [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been practicing yoga for about a year and I have tried a number of different yoga videos. I have enjoyed most of them and and am still learning. My sister is pregnant and I wanted her to be able to enjoy some of the benefits I have received from practicing yoga, especially since she is have a difficult pregnancy. I bought this video for her after reading many of the reviews and thinking that it might help her attain some focus and a sense of peace. After giving her the video, I waitied for her to call and tell me how much she was enjoying the video. The call never came. So upon my next visit to her house, I watched the video. While the husband explained the poses and the purpose of them very clearly, and the wife demonstrated them, overall I was extremely disappointed. The man NEVER stopped talking, there is NO soothing music and the background is very boring. (Looks like their house or something). Instead of relaxing me, it aggravated me and made me shut it off in the middle of the video. So, I asked my sister what she thought and she felt the same way. I have Kathy Smith's New Yoga video, Yoga Journal's AM/PM yoga, Yoga Journals - Yoga Practice (set of 3) and Yoga Journal's Practice for Beginners. I enjoy all of these videos. I am going to continue try to find another video, one for pregant women for my sister.
