 if you do yoga, this is the pg video for you May 26, 2007

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!
An exceptionally good instructor, great for yogis who practiced before July 16, 2007

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.
Great workout for advanced yogis! March 9, 2007

I have been practicing yoga for years and when I was ready to do prenatal yoga (at about 4 months pregnant) all the classes and videos I found to be way too easy. Not this one! It starts out slow and gentle and progresses into a wonderful and difficult workout that strengthens legs and arms. I don't recommend for beginners to yoga, but they do explain different positions of the same pose for the different trimesters. I'm so grateful I found this video, I try to do it every other day. But make time, because it is close to 1-1/2 hours long, I often can't make it through the whole thing!
