Rating: Summary: An easy video for days when you are tired Review: I have practiced ashtanga and iyengar yoga for about 3 years now. I used this video alongside Prenatal Yoga from the Yoga Journal series. Yoga Mamma was the easier of the two, but they worked together nicely for variety - and I used the easier video on days when I was feeling less energetic. The instructor is good, the participants are varied and reflect all sorts of different shapes and sizes in pregnancy, which is refreshing. Overall, the video could have been a bit longer and would have benefitted from some more difficult variations, but it kept me interested in my 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
Rating: Summary: Yoga Mama Rocks! Review: The 1st time I played Yoga Mama I knew I was getting a great workout. I've been able to follow Yoga Mama through every trimester without getting bored and feeling the benifits of what turns out to be a 40 minute yoga session. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to maintain a yoga routine in their busy pregnant lives. Just slip in the tape and you have a great yoga class anytime you want!
Rating: Summary: Too Easy! Review: I purchased this video early in my pregnancy, and I was not very happy with the intensity level of the work-out. I am extremely active, and this video does not even make me feel as if I have used any energy at all. This video may be good for someone that is new to exercise, but for anyone that is expecting a challenging work-out, this will be too easy.
Rating: Summary: I love this video! Review: This is my second pregnancy and this video has made all the difference in the world. It's simple, not too challenging, but it stretches all the muscles that are sore due to pregnancy. The instructor is good and it's great to see all different types of women doing yoga. It's not a workout, but I have tied it in along with other excerise videos.
Rating: Summary: For beginners only Review: I tried this video thinking that it would be a good workout but it was not much of one at all. It went way too slow and did not cover a lot in 45 minutes. I did more in the "Prenatal Yoga" video in 15 minutes than I did in this entire video. I highly recommend that one because you can do it in 15 minute intervals or a total 45 minute workout.
Rating: Summary: Instructors voice and demeanor is too peppy for yoga Review: A short little stretch session (20min). Instructors voice and demeanor was too peppy for yoga. The workout was unchallenging and uninteresting as well.
Rating: Summary: Very good Review: It almost seemed too easy when I first started using it, but by my third trimester I was GRATEFUL for the gentle pace. I always felt good after doing the session. I had a pretty easy delivery - I don't credit the yoga exactly, but I'm sure it helped a bit (and every little bit helps!).
Rating: Summary: Short enough for the time crunched Review: I really like the instructor for this video, and I like that it is not an hour long - the exercises may not be challenging enough, but it is a nice workout to do once or twice a week, alternating other types of exercise.
Rating: Summary: nausea Review: First time trying the vidio I got very light-headed. Every move requires you to have your head below your knees, nausea, nausea, nausea. That is not the feeling I want to get while working out. I would definately not recomend for those with morning sickness.
Rating: Summary: Not challenging enough Review: This video is too easy- I never felt I was exerting myself. I did some yoga before getting pregnant but was in no way an expert. If you want to be challenged at all I'd suggest Yoga Journal's Prenatal yoga, which I really like.
