Great for those Already Familiar with Yoga

I used this DVD with my first pregnancy and am using it again during my second, 3 years later. Even if you only have time once a week to pop this DVD in, you will still feel the many benefits this method has to offer. I personally love the live "band" playing and the soothing voice of the instructor on this DVD. But, I can see where someone not familiar with yoga might think it's corny. This DVD is not for someone who is just deciding to try yoga because they are pregnant. For me it provided a smooth transition from regular Hatha practice to a prenatal program. I have taken various prenatal yoga classes, but have still found this DVD to be the most enriching and challenging. There is a lot of dancing and movement which feels so much better than some of the "stand and pose" types of classes I've had. My best advice is to sample different prenatal classes and come up with a program you feel comfortable with. One DVD program is not the end-all-be-all of your prenatal yoga practice.

Love this DVD

I purchased four other DVDs before I found this one,and I feel like I can stop consuming yoga DVDs - this is the one for me. Granted, it might not be for everyone. It's based on Kundalini yoga, or opening the chakras and not hatha or asthanga yoga that seems to be more popular in the US. I loved the chanting - I could feel my spinal cord vibrate in relaxation from it and the dancing is just fun. I love the live music and the spiritual aspect of it. I hope to have a natural childbirth - and if I can pull it off, I credit this DVD with helping me do so.

great workout with poor production values

Of the four pre natal yoga videos/dvd's I've been using, this is my favorite as a workout. The emphasis on lower body and, especially, squatting is very compatible with Bradley Method exercises if you are preparing for natural childbirth. The "New Age" overtones don't particularly bother me--it's easy enough to tune them out, if you wish, by the third or fourth time of doing the workout. My only complaint is the production values. The VHS version that I am using has poor sound quality--I have to keep the remote nearby to constantly turn the sound up, then down again--and the camera crew has a tendency to focus on the participants instead of the instructor as she is demonstrating moves. This can make it difficult to figure out what, exactly, you're supposed to be doing. And, as others have noted, the instructor tends to philosophize rather than offering detailed descriptions of the best way to do the moves. However, if you already have some yoga experience and know how to do these poses correctly, you'll find this to be one of the better pre-natal yoga workouts out there.

All Hail the Turban Lady!!!!

Yes, she wears a turban. Yes, she talks new-agey - my personal favorite is telling us to get back in touch with the ancient women who used to head into the woods, squat down and pop that kid out on a bed of pine needles - LOL.

As comedy it works, but as workout it excels. Turban lady created a workout I enjoyed doing and did throughout my entire pregnancy. No one could get over how flexible and engergized I was right up to delivery day. Mother nature dealt me a good hand for sure, but I give a lot of credit to this tape.

Aerobics queens may be thrown at first by the mellower than mellow vibe, and the goal here is certainly not to "feel the burn". This is a safe and totally appropriate workout for women who want to make the most of thier constantly changing body.

I loved it.
