The Prenatal Yoga Deck: 50 Poses and Meditations

Summary: Deck of cards format is a great idea
Review: I had never done yoga before trying this, and found this deck to be both simple to understand and very relaxing. You can choose the complexity and length of your workout with different combinations of cards (if you went straight through the whole deck it would take more than 2 hours). It's small enough to take with you even to the hospital, and the breathing and relaxation techniques are very helpful for preparing for labor. Of all the pregnancy exercises I have tried this is by far the most rewarding, and I intend to continue it even after I am no longer pregnant.

Summary: Excellent Yoga Deck for Pregnancy!
Review: I loved this Yoga deck. The pictures and directions were easy to follow, and the cards are very well organized. It was easy to customize a routine based on my trimester, and how much free time I had. I can't say enough about the excellent poses. I was able to stay very flexible throughout my pregnancy, and I felt fantastic. Additionally, the meditation phrases helped me to stay positive and truly enjoy the miracle of pregnancy! I highly recommend this Yoga Deck; it had such a positive impact on my pregnancy. A must have.

Summary: Fantastic OM...for home or on the go!
Review: This deck was a true gift. I travel quite a bit with work and this compact box travels with me. You can do the routines they have clearly outlined for goals such as flexibility, relaxation or energy, etc. You can also mix them up and make a routine of your own. The pictures and directions are easy to follow. What a joy!

Summary: Deck of cards format is a great idea
Review: What drew me to this "book" was the unique deck-of-cards format. It is much easier to use than a full sized book. However, you also get much less information than a book, so I recommend using the Prenatal Yoga deck in conjunction with a good prenatal yoga book, or in addition to one's previous yoga experience. The Prenatal Yoga deck presents the information (poses, breathing, meditations) in a clear, simple way. The poses are quite gentle but effective, and the suggested routines are short, which I found perfect for before-work sessions in the morning. You can of course create longer routines from the 25 or so poses included in the deck. I especially liked the suggested meditative phrase for each pose. The poses all indicate in which trimesters they are safe, and include modifications for later on in the pregnancy.
