Yoga Mommies: Mommy & Baby Yoga is designed to help new Moms recover from pregnancy and the birthing process by strengthening the body, restoring the mind, heightening the spirit, and increasing the bond between mother and baby. By communicating through yoga, mothers can better understand baby’s needs and respond in ways which are soothing for both.

5 Stars Sooooo relaxing!
I bought this DVD when i was only 2 weeks postpartum. When I recieved it 2 weeks later (i live overseas…) I was so excited to watch it. I couldn’t do the exercises yet, but i did the baby massage parts of it. My son LOVED it! And the meditation portion is wonderful! After going thru a natural childbirth, then having to stay up in the middle of the night to feed him, the meditations REALLY relaxed me and made me feel so much closer to my baby.
2 Stars Not enough and too slow
This video was disappointing. I wanted something that engages my baby a little more. My baby doesn’t placidly lay there like that one in the video. We need activity! I also wasn’t impressed with the yoga she leads and was looking for something a little more challenging. Also the part where she does include baby is just awkward with the baby massage included. It would of been nice to see other moms with babies doing the exercises and other variations of the yoga. If you are more experienced with yoga and looking for a way to include it in your life with baby try a book and then getting creative. This video isn’t for you.
3 Stars Meh.
I practice yoga regularly and did so throughout my pregnancy. This DVD is fun and good for a short home workout but really not good for the intermediate or more experienced yoga practitioner. The instructor does not pay much attention to correct form or even explain the poses very well so it would be hard for a beginner to do well. Some activities (such as lifting the baby up, straight out, and then squatting with the baby) can be very hard on new mommies with compromised lower backs and/or abdominals from cesarean. As with any home exercise program, you should listen to your body and follow its advice, but I am sure a lot of people feel like they should be able to do everything the way she does–there are no other mommies in the video showing more advanced or more basic modifications to give options. . .I wouldn’t buy it again.
5 Stars Great DVD, fun for baby and Mommy, too!!!
My 5 month old daughter and I are enjoying this DVD, there is just the right amount of interaction. There is also time for her to hang out and play with some toys while I do some of it on my own. We both appreciate that as she is a very active baby and likes to play.. 
The location is great to look at for my little girl.. And the music keeps her attention for times as well. Overall, we are very pleased with this DVD.
4 Stars Prenatal Yoga with just enough Infant activity
This DVD has a section near the beginning that is solely for the infant and the rest is mostly for the mom while keeping the baby entertained. The workout is only about 30 minutes, but that is just the right amount of time before my three month old gets tired of being on the floor even if I wish it was a little longer. My four year old also has fun participating. The focus in this DVD is on all the right places. There are lots of ab exercises and back stretches along with a good number of arm strengthening poses. I could do without the positive attitude, you are going to be a good mother speech in the opening meditation. This is a good DVD to get you back into your practice while incorporating your little one.
