Why Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Who is Jennifer Wolfe?
*****************
What is Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga?
Whether you're a yoga veteran in search of an active yoga routine, or you're new to yoga, Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga gives you all the tools to make your pregnancy journey the best it can be. Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga is your support system leading to a more comfortable pregnancy, quicker and less painful labor, and a speedier postpartum recovery.
Jennifer Wolfe developed Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga during her own pregnancy when she realized that all styles of prenatal yoga offered, at the time, could not adequately prepare her physically and mentally for labor. She wanted a yoga practice that specifically served the needs of the pregnant woman: one that actively prepares women for the marathon event of childbirth, while helping women discover their power and inner strength needed during this transformative period in their lives.
Jennifer Wolfe found these empowering and strengthening qualities in the soft flow of Vinyasa Yoga. In her DVDs, she adapts Vinyasa Yoga for the unique needs of pregnant women, providing a system that works with your body without sacrificing the intensity necessary to prepare for childbirth. By learning to link your breath and movements in a constant flow, you'll increase your ability to work with your body during labor and childbirth, reducing the need for medications or other interventions; including a decrease in the need for C-sections.
About Jennifer Wolfe
Jennifer Wolfe is a Prenatal and Vinyasa Yoga instructor, Doula, Clinical and Medical Hypnotherapist, Childbirth Educator, Reiki master and a Mother.
"Hello, and thank you for your interest in Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga. I am committed that every woman have the pregnancy and birth experience they desire.

I have attended nearly 400 births and trained thousands of students in Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga, and I have seen, firsthand, the amazing benefits that this yoga provides. Congratulations on your pregnancy and for taking these steps to prepare your body for this wonderful, transformative experience."
Namaste, Jennifer Wolfe

 if you do yoga, this is the pg video for you May 26, 2007
Christine Porter (Ithaca, New York)

This is the first pregancy yoga video I've found that is rigorous enough to keep me in yoga shape - both body and mind - through all 3 trimesters. Even my non-pregnant sister found it challenging enough to do it with me.
It is long, but you can stop whenever you want, of course.
I love the instructor and her routine here so much, that I'm hoping to find other 'regular' yoga videos from her for post-pregnancy. Very peaceful and flowing, without being patronizing or annoying.
If you haven't done yoga before, this will be a tough introduction, but if you pay close attention to her breathing instructions and watch it once through, and are relatively fit, I think it would be good for you too.

Of all the prenatal yoga videos I've seen, this is the best. This video doesn't approach pregnancy as a disability, but as a vital and vibrant stage of life.
I am a yoga instructor, and during my pregnancy I absolutely found this video to be challenging, but the modifications shown made it doable up to my due date (although naturally it became more challenging as my belly expanded). As a doula, I was comforted by the fact that Jennifer Wolfe is also a doula and clearly has extensive knowledge about the pregnant body. I never felt that I needed to be especially cautious of my joints as I have attending regular yoga classes during pregnancy. So many prenatal yoga videos and classes don't offer a challenge for the experienced practitioner; this one is a distinct exception. My favorite part was the modified sun salutation. This is the only video or class I've seen that includes this feature (incuding my own prenatal classes!). Definitely, as a previous reviewer mentioned, use a mat with this video, as there are a lot of transitions to and from your knees.
Great for those familiar with Yoga September 28, 2007

I love this dvd! I was an avid ashtanga yoga practitioner before my first pregnancy, and I have really missed my practice during pregnancy #1 and now pregnancy #2. This is the first prenatal dvd that brings back the great mind and body benefits of yoga for me. I also have the Shiva Rea video (too slow) and Yoga Journal video with Kristen Eykel (I also like it, but not as much as this one. It is also much easier). My only complaint is that the practice is not broken down into segments on the DVD, and it is long, so it is hard to select part of it to do when you have limited time, like during a toddler's nap time!
Effective and flexible prenatal yoga September 11, 2009

I am now 19 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have been using these DVD's for a month. Prior to becoming pregnant I did regular yoga workouts on DVD's but have never been to a class. Some of the reviews made this series sound very advanced but I feel I picked up the moves very easily with my previous DVD background. The best thing about the series is the flexibility, there are programs of various lengths. Sometimes I do a long yoga workout or I combine a shorter yoga with 30 minutes of walking or elliptical. It helps keep the workout from becoming routine and allows me to fit something in on days when I either don't have much time or don't have much energy. Even if I really don't want to I can usually talk myself into the 15 or 30 min and then am so glad I did. So far none of the moves have been strenuous or uncomfortable and a lot of modifications are offered for trimesters or level of flexibility or experience. The instruction is straight forward without a lot of extraneous talk and I find her voice soothing and easy to follow. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and look forward to seeing how I do as I get bigger and bigger. I would recommend this series to anyone interested in prenatal yoga.
An exceptionally good instructor, great for yogis who practiced before July 16, 2007
Anna Fastenko (San Jose, CA USA)

I was impressed by the professionalism of the instructor as she leads a one and a half hour long yoga session without interuption or getting out of breath. I agree with other raters that this work out is mostly suitable for women who did some yoga before, or who are in a good shape. Even if you start with doing half of it, gradually you will build strength as the entire sequence is designed physiologically correct, with a good knowledge of both yoga and woman's anatomy. I liked the pace and even distribution of more difficult poses and relaxation asanas. It's a great way to continue doing serious yoga without going to your favourite class.
