Excellent Prenatal Yoga DVD

Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga class is an excellent choice for both experienced yoga students and novices. During my second trimester, my newly retired mother and I enjoyed the practice together every day. I have been doing yoga for a few years, and she had no experience but found the DVD to be excellent for her beginner status. Because of the three options for each pose that Shiva Rea offers, we both could find the right position for our bodies.
Besides being a bonding opportunity with my mother, this DVD has helped me keep toned and in shape throughout my pregnancy. I am now quickly approaching my due date, and I can still do each pose in one form or another. I think that the continued yoga practice will help me connect with my body and relax during labor and delivery, as it has kept me relaxed during my pregnancy. Shiva Rea has a calm voice and says the right things to get me adjusted and comfortable in each pose. I am going to order her Postnatal DVD to use after the baby is born. I highly recommend this DVD to any pregnant mother or a woman who is interested in doing yoga but has limited flexibility and would like to see several modifications for each pose (as long as she doesn't mind an occasional reference to babies).

I could do this every day

This is the third prenatal video I've tried. The first two are a bit intense: [[ASIN:B000IU36R6 Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga ~ Jennifer Wolfe]] and [[ASIN:B000BLKJ5E The Perfect Pregnancy Workout]]. I found both of these to be too much during the first trimester, despite my consistent yoga practice and good fitness level.

I just did Shiva Rae's video for the first time (I'm in Week 13). I found it to be very comfortable, while effectively stretching and working my body. She uses very few props (though you should have a bolster if you are doing any prenatal yoga past the first trimester.) When she does recommend props, like a blanket or a block, they are constructive uses. I feel like I could do this every day.

I will still use the other two videos, but they will be reserved for the days I feel particularly strong and ambitious. (They are each full length sessions with out the program divisions that Shiva's routine offers.)

On time

Everything was on time, like it said in your email. Very happy with my shopping.
Thank you
