Summary: Too bad you can't use the mute button
Review: I have no yoga experience, but did Pilates before my pregnancy. I found the exercises wonderful. They were a little challenging at first, and continued to feel good as I did them more. I skipped the chanting from the very beginning, and didn't mind listening to the leader at first. After just a few times, however, she started to really annoy me. She doesn't shut up the entire time! I found that very distracting. I'll still use the disk when I need an easy workout, but I don't really like it.

Summary: Worst video I have ever seen
Review: I could not relax or meditate because the instructor talked throughout the entire video. She did not clearly explain the poses and the chanting was thoroughly disturbing...

Summary: Good Video
Review: I bought this video a few weeks into my pregnancy after a friend sent me a gift certificate to amazon.com. I picked this one because it was the only one I could purchase, pay for S & H, and not have to pay anything extra (beyond the gift certificate). I am new to yoga, so I thought it would be great. After watching it I felt closer to my baby, more relaxed, and also a little tired (a workout is a workout, right?). There's a cool down at the end and I am falling asleep at this point! Haha. It's a good video, a tad bit amateur-looking, but oh well. I'm happy with it, though I have to confess I've only done it a few times!

Summary: Was confident during delivery
Review: Orginally when I started in my 7 month I thought it was a bit new agey and did only certain parts. I than thought I would try all sections and I am glad I did- I found that if you allow yourself to loosen up the intructor has many words of wisdom that I took with me during my labor. I found the endurance section the most powerful and being my first child my labor was under 8 hrs with less than 20 minutes of pushing- Forget the lamaze breathing- This tape gives you relaxing techniques along with strengh- I was not in any type of shape and I did this tape 3 to 4 times a week up to the day of labor.I can only think with the strengh, flexibility and mental training that my labor was as quick. I also felt it helped with recovery and I look forward to doing Baby and Me yoga- postnatal.

Summary: a huge disappointment
Review: i was disappointed by this video. i felt that it was too "touchy feely," without giving SPECIFIC instructions for the positions she spoke about. in other words, i felt that this wasn't a yoga class. the amature videoing of the studio didn't help and though there are a number of women in various stages of pregnancy, it is never directly pointed who is in the right posture, and who isn't. i am not new to yoga, but know that i have different concerns now that i am pregnant. quite honesly, my back ached more after the video, and i sent it back the next day.

Summary: It's relaxing and helped my back a lot!
Review: I love this DVD. I knew I wanted to do some relaxing stretching exercises, and that I don't feel very comfortable in exercise classes. However, I didn't start using the DVD until my back started hurting. A lot! After a few days of this yoga workout, my back stopped pinching and I could walk like a person again. I personally adore the cute yoga-lady, and I like the chanting but make sure to only play the DVD when my husband is not home. I use this DVD about 3 times a week. Thank you to the yoga-lady!

Summary: Very Good Tape For a Novice
Review: I loved this video and used it all during my pregnancy. I have a tendency toward high blood pressure during my pregnancies. I thought I'd give yoga a try to help with this. I had no previous yoga experience. The tape was easy to follow and left me feeling very good after every use. I really feel that these exercises were the main reason I was able to keep my blood pressure normal throughout my pregnancy. I feel the chanting exercises were especially beneficial for this - despite the fact that I'm not really "into that kind of thing" and I thought they were a bit weird. But, you could really feel your body relax during these portions of the tape.

Summary: A Fun Workout!
Review: I used this video throughout my pregnancy and plan to use it again one day. It is an excellent video - from start to finish. It begins easy and gets you in the right frame of mind to start, and then the workouts get really strenuous. It's awesome!

Summary: Best I've tried
Review: I absolutely couldn't have managed my pregnancy without this video! I suffer from severe back pains (several partially dislocated ribs as well as lower back pain) and the only thing that kept me functioning was this video. On days that I had more pain I often did the stretching part of the routine twice a day. It includes several excercises recommended to me by both my OB and my chiropractor. I have never done yoga before and the first time I watched it was a little annoyed by some of the more far out stuff. But within the first few times of doing it I got used to some of the more new age comments. I tried "Yoga Mama" from the Crunch series but didn't like it at all. This flowed better and was much easier to follow. I also felt like I was getting a work out without hurting myself. I definitely plan to purchase the post natal tape done by this instructor!

Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I own several pilates videos from The Method series and was looking forward to using Baby and Mom: Prenatal Yoga. I've been practicing yoga for 10 years, but knew very little about required variations during pregnancy. This tape was not helpful at all in educating me on what yoga techniques can be used or which ones need to be altered. I want to maintain my physical fitness during my pregnancy and this DVD was not physically challenging at all. Its main purpose seems to be for meditation and relaxation, however that was not possible since the instructor never stopped talking the entire session. This DVD is utterly disappointing. Unless you have very little yoga and meditation experience, save your money and buy something else.
