Prenatal Yoga with Desi Bartlett



I've tried many prenatal yoga dvds...
and this is my favorite. Different people look for different emphases in prenatal yoga (and yoga in general), but I was looking for something that had an even balance between stretching, strengthening and meditation, with the mediation helping me relax my body and connect to my baby. Others I've tried, and there have been many (by Shiva Rea, Jennifer Wolfe, Ann Richmond, Elena Brower and others), have either been too complicated and rigorous an aerobic fitness, for me meaning changing poses too quickly, for someone with minimal (but not no) yoga experience, with very skinny pregnant women, which managed to make me feel self-conscious even alone at home (I'm more average-in the size 6-8 range) which was just no fun, or on the other end, some others were a little too hippy-dippy for my taste, with what felt like an overdone and overly earnest emphasis on eastern philosophy lingo, without actual eastern philosophy. This DVD has a voice over description of the poses rather than someone...

Downloaded Video does not have menu!
Be careful if you are planning on downloading the video because you do not get the option to choose your work out. You will have the 45 minute workout but that is it. The sections to show you how to use the chair are at the end if you need it.

The video is okay. The stretching felt good and it is a nice way to start the day. Definitely not a workout.

Great yoga video
Feels like regular yoga. Not a slow mo video. Very easy to break it down into sections, if you don't have time to do the whole thing. The music is not annoying. It is a happy fun video.
