Summary: Helpful poses, good flow to routine
Comment: 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.

Summary: Just okay
Comment: 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.

Summary: Relaxing Yoga for Pregnancy
Comment: 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 2nd and 3rd trimesters, or those that have never done yoga before.

Summary: Prenatal Yoga With Shiva Rea
Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: 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.
