Summary: Good stretch, not a workout
Comment: I found this DVD to provide a good stretch. It was slow and boring, though, and not at all a workout. I couldn't even do the whole thing without a break, because I was too bored. I found Shiva Rea's omission of the "h" in exhale annoying, as someone else here mentioned. The 3 different options for modifications was helpful, though for several of the poses, the woman in her 3rd trimester didn't seem to be doing much at all, it was so modified. I'm in my 3rd trimester, but followed the woman in her 2nd with no problems. If you want something really mellow to stretch and relax, this is a good choice. If you really want to exercise and maintain muscle tone during your pregnancy, look elsewhere.

Summary: Easy and relaxing
Comment: This yoga practice is more stretching and meditation than a true yoga workout. Overall it's good for those two things, but if you're looking for more power yoga or vinyasa style yoga this is not it.

Summary: poorly instructed, mediocre workout
Comment: i am a reasonably fit and healthy young woman in my early 20's, and was a regular at my local gym and cycling class for several months before i got pregnant. after i got pregnant and had to take a break from my routine because of horrible all-day-sickness and exhaustion i was looking for something gentle, but still somewhat challenging, to ease me back into a more regular routine again. i picked up this dvd because i thought prenatal yoga would be fun and relaxing. i have never really done yoga before and thought it would be a nice change of pace to learn something new. i am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this dvd...

the instructor has absolutely no personality, and her tone of voice is completely flat and unmotivated. her long-winded introduction that has to be watched before the workout, EVERY TIME, is more irritating every time i hear it, and the terrible voice-over instructions are not even timed correctly. some exercises don't even match up with her instructions! the music is slow, boring, and uninspiring. the poses are far too short, and only a few of them even make me feel like i am doing anything at all! there are too many variations of the "triangle pose", which i am REALLY sick of now; it feels like i just keep doing the same thing over and over again the whole time!

i'm not at all experienced with yoga, but this has got to be one of the most boring, ineffective workouts i've ever tried, and i have done the whole routine beginning to end about six times to be sure i wasn't doing something wrong! when it's over i just want to fold into "child's pose" and go to sleep! i'm looking for something more motivating and challenging! if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

Summary: great dvd
Comment: I borrowed this a few times early on in my second trimester and thought it was boring and too slow, so bought another faster paced pre-natal yoga workout. then when my pregnancy progressed and i started having more aches and pains, the faster dvd was too much, and i went back to shiva rea. Now its definately the right pace for me, and its a good allover workout. I would say its a bit slow for first tri and early second tri, but its great for the second half of second tri and third tri. I think its a great investment and i plan to use right up to my due date and maybe afterwards as well.
