5 Stars ralaxing and challenging-all in one
i really enjoyed this dvd. for me it is the perfect and (most important) completely safe workout for pregnancy!
it is suitable for all levels and i love that the moves can be made more challenging with slight modifications. it is a great way to keep fit/stretched and i love peaceful practice at the end of the workout, because i am so relaxed when it is over.
5 Stars All Stages - All Levels
I really enjoyed this prenatal yoga video. The best part of it is that all of the poses and stretches are “safe” for any stage of your pregnancy and your level of your practice. Mimi introduces modified downward dog and other modified inversions, so even if you are not an advanced practitioner you can still perform them, avoiding vena cava syndrome. My favorite modification is the sun salutations towards the end of the “flow” section. The “strengthening” section takes you through more core poses to help you relieve stress, relieve tight backs, and reach a calm state-of-mind in a gentle and calming way. Another nice thing about Mimi’s video is that throughout her practice she is narrating the class explaining the benefits of each pose. Very enjoyable and great to do with other members of you family even if they are not pregnant =)
4 Stars enjoyed this one
This prenatal yoga video was enjoyable-they even had a cheesy thing at the end where there are pictures of babies floating out of the sky while twinkle twinkle little stars plays which my family enjoyed.
My favorite two sections were the flow section (basically floor and standing poses along with modified sun salutations) and the strengthening section. I liked that you could choose chapters and it wasn’t almost 2 hours long like some of the other videos. It also didn’t require any props.
This video isn’t high on the difficulty rating but was enjoybale to do
