E1 ENTERTAINMENT Yoga Zone: Postures for Pregnancy

I don't know a thing about yoga. I always wanted to try it but never actually went to a class. I am currently 32 weeks (a little over 7 months) pregnant and I got this DVD to relieve some stress and relax a little, not to mention keep my body in some sort of shape, in the comfort of my own home. It wasn't too difficult for me (someone with virtually no flexablity), everything was explained as far as what each thing does for your pregnant body and I nearly fell asleep in the end when he does the relaxation technique. Relaxing is not my forte so anyone who can get my mind to focus deserves my praise! In short, good for beginners. Made me feel great.

I am honestly surprised at all the bad reviews of this video. I am 6 months pregnant and have been having some low back pain. I started to feel relief immediately after using the video one time (I now use it at least 3 times a week). Yes the DVD is a little old and his accent is kind of funny, but it really has helped me relieve stress and feel calmer. I always love how I feel after doing this yoga DVD. I like how he focuses on doing the poses in the correct form, because it is the MOST important part of yoga. This is not for someone looking for a tough workout, this is for someone looking to strech your body, relax and relieve some pressures brought on by pregnancy.

I would not know how to rate the DVD, since I never recieved it. I placed a order on June 13th and am still waiting its arrival. I have placed several phone calls to this company called "orderbox.com "and quite a few emails and no on has ever bothered to return them. I did however receive the bill for this item. ..

We own another Yoga Zone DVD, and it is great, so naturally I bought this one when my wife got pregnant. This is NOT the same format as the other Yoga Zone DVD. It is a guy (and his 8-month pregnant wife as a model) advising you the different positions. There is no background music, and the poses are held for long periods of time while the guy explains correct form. We were not interested in "performing" or getting the forms exactly right, but rather light exercise that was safe and easy to do. This video is more for someone with extensive Yoga experience.

I found this video to be easy to follow. It included postures that were easy for a beginner and more advanced poses. I would recommend this video to someone who has some yoga experience.

This product is not for people new to yoga. Alan Finger is an experienced yogi who tries to make sure you get the most out of each pose, so each pose is very carefully explained. The poses felt great for my entire back and my hamstrings. I would definitely recommend this to a pregnant friend. It is not really a "workout", but more of a relaxation and stretching program.

I got this DVD at the beginning of my 1st pregnancy and used it quite often through all of them. It really helped with my sore back and legs, was an easy work-out when I didn't have the energy to really work out hard, and the relaxation part at the end left me so relaxed, I sometimes fell asleep while doing it. I ordered a second DVD for a friend, whom I had let borrow the DVD during one of her pregnancies (and also LOVED it), then she became pregnant again at the same time I was, and I didn't want to part with it. While I still do arobic pregnancy workouts often, on days when I'm feeling sore or just need a light, relaxing workout, I still use this one.

I have done some yoga over the years. Mostly, I would practice yoga zone's "Introduction to Yoga." Now that I'm pregnant, just beginning my six month, I'm grateful to have this video! It helps me to relax and eases the hip pain I've been experiencing at night. I also feel that it is helping me to maintain strength and flexibility as I progress through my pregnancy. My only complaint would be that I wish some of the poses were held longer! So I just pause it and hold them longer and breathe through them to my heart's content. It's not a "workout" but it is a stretching, strengthening, de-stressing program that has been excellent for my pregnancy.
