Summary: Great for novice!
Review: Just received the tape and went through it for the first time and this is also my first yoga experience. As such, I was not at all irritated by the instructions but, in fact, appreciated all the guidance. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I could have used just a little more instruction if I wasn't able to do all the moves (which was the case) but since I'm an admitted novice, then I have to say this video has been a noticeable help already with my backache which was the primary reason I bought it. Already the pain has subsided so I'm thrilled.

Summary: Not good if you've ever done yoga
Review: I've been doing yoga off and on for a while, and I'm taking a prenatal yoga class once a week. I wanted a tape to guide me at home so that I could do yoga at home. This tape fails in many respects. Poses are rushed through before you have a chance to enjoy the full benefits. The instructor is annoying and talks non-stop. There is no discussion of how to modify poses or positon feet to compensate for your changing center of balance (my class instructor does this). The mediation section at the end is way too short. While the length of the tape is good, if you've got any experience doing yoga, you'll find this too easy and way too rushed. It's like they tried to cram a 75 minute workout into 40 minutes.

Summary: Good for Those New to Yoga
Review: This is a great video if you are new to yoga. It feels great at the end of the day and is really relaxing. It is a nicely paced video also. The reason it got 3 stars is because the instructor is extremely annoying. She talks to you like you are 5 years old and generally has an irritating way about her.

Summary: Great for stretching and relaxing
Review: I did a lot of muscle conditioning and pilates workouts prior to getting pregnant, but never actually did yoga. The first time was a bit confusing (have you ever tried to look at a TV screen while in "downward facing dog"?!). Anyway, while not a strenous "workout" it is a wonderful and relaxing stretch video. I have used it many nights just to unwind and stretch my legs after work. It has also helped a bit with the calf cramps that are so prevelant in pregnancy. I am now in my third trimester, and still love doing this tape at night to help all my muscles stretch and relax. Again, NOT a strenous workout, but good for stretching, and easy to pick up as a novice.

Summary: Cheesy & easy, but still good!
Review: I found this video a little slow and not very difficult. It was also a little too cheesy for my tastes. BUT it does give an good, safe stretch, even for an experienced exerciser. I use it to relax at night & it always calms me down and stretches me out- exactly what it's meant to do! So I would certainly recommend it with the caveat that it's not a difficult workout.

Summary: Easy yoga but not for experienced mama's
Review: I was a workout freak before I was pregnant. I would work out about 4-8 hours a day. Well you can guesse that when I got pregnant I also got tired and cut way back on my workouts.
I have been doing yoga for about 8 years and there are very few pregnancy videos on the market. I have a few crunch tapes which I enjoy and so I thought I would give this a shot.
This is a very EASY tape. If youve never done yoga you'll catch on and enjoy it. However I feel that it was much too easy and too light for someone who has been doing it for a while.
I did this tape 5 days a week throughout my pregnancy and I never really got a good stretch from it. Maybe thats how pregnancy is but I hope to find something better next time around.

Summary: great stretching
Review: I just tried this for the 1st time and I loved it. I do yoga for inflexable people somewhat regularly and I am still very inflexable. But this workout definetly challanged me and I felt so relaxed and limber when I was done. This is not to challanging for beginners. I would highly reccommend this!

Summary: Nice for a change, but not very engaging
Review: I'm new to yoga and must admit not very flexible. Few poses, like hip opening poses are very hard to do. The same time, I don't feel like I get much of a work out, or stretching done. Instructor spends too much time talking while you're just standing there waiting for a pose demostration. I much more prefer "Prenatal Yoga" with Shiva Rea as an instructor. But Crunch Mama is good occasionally, when I'm feeling lazy.

Summary: My favorite prenatal yoga workout
Review: I have some experience with yoga and I found this video to be very basic. The poses are very easy and the instructor takes a lot of time to explain each move. Yoga Mama would be a good choice for someone who's never done yoga before.Since most of the moves are merely for stretching rather than toning, this video isn't very challenging. You won't break a sweat. However, I think that it's a great video for a pregnant woman to do before bedtime because it really stretches out your whole body. For a well rounded exercise routine during pregancy I would add a video with a cardio workout like FitMama, or perhaps walking or cycling. This video won't give you all the exercise you need, but as I said the stretches are excellent and I'm sure I'll be doing it a lot towards the end of my pregnancy when I start feeling aches in my back and legs. The instructor is okay--she seems a bit dippy when she giggles but all in all she's not too annoying.
