Product Description
Shows yoga modifications for the various trimesters of pregnancy.
Genre: Pregnancy Workouts
Rating: NR
Release Date: 23-SEP-2003
Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com
The best thing about this prenatal yoga program is that there is a model for each trimester. Instructor Shiva Rea demonstrates each of the stretches and exercises for the first trimester, and two pregnant women show modifications for the second and third trimesters (they're even dressed in different colors for easy reference). This removes the self-doubt home-exercisers often have about the safety of certain moves--especially in that cumbersome final stage of pregnancy. Using gentle voice-over instruction, Rea and her assistants take viewers through a half hour of meditational stretches using blocks and chairs for support. She follows that up with 16 minutes of floor work: lunge pose, bridge pose, child's pose, plank pose--all with the necessary adjustments. She winds things up with a four-minute guided relaxation on her back--the traditional position--with the second-trimester woman on her side and the third on her side with one leg up on a chair. By including the different adaptations, Rea has made a program with the flexibility to carry an expectant mom through her entire pregnancy--and beyond, if she wishes. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Wish I'd Had More Time to Use This DVD November 16, 2009
Sarah C. Taylor (Idaho)
I had this DVD recommended from a friend. I was in the middle of my third trimester and was very uncomfortable, so I thought I'd give Prenatal Yoga a try. Once I got the DVD I was only able to use it a couple of times before I ended up having the baby. It was very relaxing and really helped my sore body the few times I was able to use it. I will definitely be using it earlier on the next time I am pregnant.
 Worthwhile November 12, 2009
M. Wake (California)
I purchased Prenatal Yoga about a month ago and I'm so glad I did. It is a wonderful way to relax and prepare your body for a new baby. The stretches focus on all of the areas of the body that are affected by pregnancy. After this yoga session, the overall serene and renewed feeling is quite welcome!
I definitely recommend this DVD!
 Just OK. Not my favorite Shiva Rea yoga DVD November 6, 2009

I was pretty disappointed in this DVD considering how much I love her other stuff (especially Yoga Shakti). Another reviewer said it as well and it's true: she doesn't stop talking during this practice, which is very distracting if you're used to doing a serious yoga practice. Maybe beginners won't notice? I much prefer Jennifer Wolfe's Prenatal Vinyasa (though I would not recommend it to a beginner; it's clearly for women who already have familiarity with yoga). In sum, it just doesn't do it for me. I've only done this DVD twice, whereas the others I've purchased I use 3x or more a week!
Good, Light Yoga November 4, 2009
Jaime Adams (Colleyville, TX USA)
Each persons experience will be different based on your experience with yoga and your personal flexibility but I have enjoyed this DVD. At the beginning of my 2nd trimester I was feeling very tight and stiff....doing this DVD will help loosen your aches and pains and overall make you feel better. If you are looking for an intense yogic workout then you might want something else. This DVD is a "light" yoga workout...mainly based on stretching.
Compared: Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga & Perfect Pregnancy Workout October 8, 2009
Leann Lundberg (Orange, CA)
Hello Friends. Here is a comparison of 2 great videos: "Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga" and "The Perfect Pregnancy Workout" with Karyne Steben.
"Prenatal Yoga": Soothing, gentle stretches. Shiva Rea's voice is gentle and relaxing. A wonderful time to focus on the baby inside you as you breath, stretch and become aware of your body. Not physically demanding (good for days when pregnancy hormones have a person feeling crummy and tired). Has modifications for all 3 trimesters. I feel relaxed physically and emotionally after doing stretches.
"The Perfect Pregnancy Workout": A good workout for arms, legs and torso. It's a relief to know I am doing exercises that are safe for a low-risk pregnancy. I would guess the beginner's level on this video is more like an intermediate aerobics videos. After 3 months of inactive nausea, I use the pause button for breathers. There is also an advanced modification shown for a more intense workout. I just love how Karyne is sporting a beautiful, bare, pregnant tummy. Seeing a kick-ass fit pregnant woman who obviously is comfortable with her full-rounded tummy is inspiring. No frills on sets or music, this is all about the exercise.
Thanks to everyone for your helpful comments on Amazon. I always check what you say before I pull out the credit card. Here's to a wonderful pregnancy!
