The best thing about this prenatal yoga program is that there is a modelfor each trimester. Instructor Shiva Rea demonstrates each of the stretches andexercises for the first trimester, and two pregnant women show modifications forthe second and third trimesters (they're even dressed in different colors foreasy reference). This removes the self-doubt home-exercisers often have aboutthe safety of certain moves--especially in that cumbersome final stage ofpregnancy. Using gentle voice-over instruction, Rea and her assistants takeviewers through a half hour of meditational stretches using blocks and chairsfor support. She follows that up with 16 minutes of floor work: lunge pose,bridge pose, child's pose, plank pose--all with the necessary adjustments. Shewinds things up with a four-minute guided relaxation on her back--thetraditional position--with the second-trimester woman on her side and the thirdon her side with one leg up on a chair. By including the different adaptations,Rea has made a program with the flexibility to carry an expectant mom through herentire pregnancy--and beyond, if she wishes. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating:  - Helpful poses, good flow to routine
I have been using this video since the beginning of my pregnancy and I am now almost 6 months along.I find that I appreciate it more as time goes on, because many of the poses help alleviate lower back pain I have from the changes in my body, and I can tell I feel stronger as my body keeps getting bigger.The background music is nice, the instructor's tone is pleasant, and the routine as a whole has a nice flow to it.
Rating:  - Just okay
It's perfectly fine and safe to use during pregnancy.I'm a person who exercised 3-4 times a week prior to getting pregnant however and it was far too easy for an intermediate exercise enthusiast.I by no means am a "power" exerciser, but this seemed to not push me even in the slightest bit - maybe that's its intent - I was wishing for a little more.
Rating: - Relaxing Yoga for Pregnancy
I ordered this DVD along with another prenatal yoga video (Jennifer Wolfe), and find that this one is less challenging as a workout than the other. It is very well done, though. She is a very thorough instructor, and definately is well focused and educated on the needs of pregnant students. While this may not be the equivalent of a yoga fitness class, I feel that it is excellent for relaxing stretching and muscle toning throughout pregnancy. I would probably recommend it more to those in their late ... Read More
Rating: - Prenatal Yoga With Shiva Rea
This video is great for all of the various stages of pregnancy. There are modifications for all three trimesters and even variations on those. Strongly recommended for pregnancy. I found it to be a little slow paced in my sixth and seventh month but perfect for the rest of the pregnancy as I was limited in my movements.
Rating: - Excellent
This program is wonderful.I have been doing yoga for 5 years, and, although it does not challenge me in the usual ways (backbends, inversions, etc.) it definately opens up the hips and is preparing me for birth.I highly recommend it to all pregnant women.
