Summary: A Bit Clumsy
Review: doing any type of yoga is a plus during pregnancy and i have always been a fan of shiva rea, but this tape disappointed me. in shiva's other tapes (audio and video) there is movement and flow.my problem with the tape is that props are overused, making creating a flow with the session virtually impossible. pulling up chairs, putting them back, etc., it's too much of a distraction.

Summary: Needed some major improvements
Review: I have been practicing yoga on and off for more than five years and took one year of beginning and intermediate Tai Chi when I was in college. I bought Shiva Rea tape because of all the 4 and 5-star reviews made by Amazon.com consumers; however, I was disappointed after using the after a few weeks. I gave it a three star because of the following reasons: STRENGTHS
=========
-Three different models for the three different trimesters.
-Good breathing techniques.
-Soothing Music. WEAKNESSES
==========
-Very ambiguous Kegel pose-needed better explanation and instructions.
-Misleading title because she incorporated some Tai Chi poses such as the hip and knee rotations.
-Inconsistent timing of each pose; some poses run way too short.
-Transition between one pose to another is extremely awkward.
-Incorrect instruction on one of the chair poses.
-Too many chair poses in two different sessions; The best approach is to integrate all those poses into one session. ...Shiva didn't pace the timing between each pose consistently. I don't believe that this tape is designed for a beginner because of some incomplete instructions in certain poses. I would suggest to sign up for about five prenatal yoga sessions at your local community before using the tape. If you are looking for a five-star prenatal yoga, keep on looking!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I really enjoyed this video. When I finish, I always feel refreshed and energized. The stretches are good and very appropriate for pregnancy. Before becoming pregnant, I attained a fairly advanced level. I stopped practicing around 9 wks because of "all day sickness". I'm just picking up again in the third trimester. I had no trouble following the video and getting back into it. I liked the 3 different models showing different modifications. I didn't like that each model was specifically for a trimester. I wish it took more of a "do what feels right" approach. Many of us can still do most of the postures with no or small modifications. The tape assumes in trimester 3, all you can do is sit in a chair and put your arm or leg out. The relaxation at the end is fantastic. The modifications here are completely appropriate to enhance circulation for each trimester. All in all, it's a good pregnancy workout. It's great for anyone who wants to continue yoga practice through pregnancy.

Summary: Marvelous
Review: I got this video for me and my husband -- knowing what happened to me last time I was with child. I'm so glad I did, and he liked the results so much he surprised me with his own video purchase of "Goddess Worship" which we followed together along with the gorgeous music (!) to make me feel so appreciated -- even worshipped! God bless "Prental Yoga" and "Goddess Worship" for adding so much to our special time.

Summary: This workout really helps!
Review: I did this workout and Crunch 'Yoga Mama' throughout my entire pregnancy. They really helped me avoid back pain, excess weight gain and lethargy. I strongly believe that my yoga practice was at least partially responsible for my comfortable pregnancy and strong delivery.
This video has modified poses for 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters so you never have to give it up. It ends with a wonderful relaxation segment as a reward for some of the more challenging poses.

Summary: Living arts Yoga never disappoint me
Review: I've been doing 'yoga for weightloss' before,
but as soon as I got pregnant, I ordered this video.
(even though I live in Europe, I did not have problem with playing this tape
because I got the player with NTSC capability.)
Living arts series are so professional that
you never would be bothered by any unnecessary comments or music.
It really let me focus on the practice.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!
Review: I am an avid yoga enthusiast and in great physical shape, so upon learning I was pregnant, I was determined to maintain my good health and enjoy my workouts. This is THE best prenatal video out there hands down. The routine is safe, effective and challenging for all levels. Pregnancy simply makes you more tired than you normally are thus this video helps and protects you throughout each trimester. Plus it's distribnuted by Gian a highly reputable hearlth/arts company.

Summary: why does this instructor not talk to camera
Review: the audio on this video drives me crazy, i tried this video three times and have now donated it to my library. I would recommend Leisa Hart's FitMama video, it's not Yoga, but it's so much better for you than this womans weird video.
