Prenatal Yoga DVD to Support a Healthy Pregnancy


The evidence is clear: when you exercise regularly and gently during your pregnancy, you help yourself and your baby. Babies born to exercising mothers are healthier, experience fewer fetal complications during labor, and may even receive neurobehavioral benefits as a result of their mom's exercise regime while they are in utero.

Yoga is regarded as the ideal form of exercise for pregnant women - a perfect way to meet the 30 minutes of exercise prescribed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Healthy Mom, Happy Baby is a gentle prenatal yoga practice designed for all three trimesters of your pregnancy. This video will help you:

• Strengthen and build stamina in the muscles used during childbirth.

• Learn meditation techniques to help you access deep relaxation - a tool you can use to replenish yourself between contractions.

• Learn breathing and visualization strategies to release tension and manage pain during labor.

• Increase your confidence and trust in the innate wisdom of your body.

• Connect with your changing body and your growing baby.

• Enjoy uninterrupted time to explore your emotions as you make the transition to motherhood.

About the Instructors: Anna Davis is a mother of two girls as well as a neurophysiologoist, science educator, and certified yoga instructor. With a doctorate in Physiology and Biophysics, Anna combines her extensive education with practical instruction to offer a comprehensive yoga practice. Lisa Black is an accomplished yoga instructor, owner of two studios and a proud new mother. Lisa was recently honored by Yoga Journal as part of a select group of instructors "...who are shaping yoga's future".

"This video is led by two experienced yoga teachers who are also moms. It is a strong Vinyasa practice to support women through their pregnancies. I feel pregnant women everywhere would benefit from it."

- Ana Forrest, Founder of Forrest Yoga and Contributing Expert to Yoga Journal

Being my first pregnancy I felt at ease that there was another pregnant woman in the video so I knew how to adapt my poses as I got bigger and felt confident that if she was doing it so could I.

muito bom (very good)

Enjoyed the video!
By Rachel (yoga instructor!) on July 21, 2009
The things I found most useful were:
- Reference to baby throughout the practice – this is something some prenatal instructors fail to bring forward very well. This is the beauty of having a prenatal yoga class just for moms- To really honor the baby throughout the practice. For example, even saying ‘lift the baby’ was so pertinent to a woman who may not even know how to use her abs by the 3rd trimester. But lifting the baby may make more sense.
- Easy to follow particularly with the set up of the mats and movement to face the tv. There is nothing worse than a good content dvd but difficult to follow because it was made for people actually watching and doing the practice.
- The little option box off to the side for some poses was really useful (using the chair, strap, etc.)
- The sequencing was perfect and I liked that you went back to the beginning poses at the end.
- The most important aspect was the ‘why we do these poses’ that you integrated at the beginning/end of each section and throughout the poses. It really helps women understand why their hips need to be flexible or legs strong.
- I liked that you showed how to transition to the floor from seated to lying down (using arms). Some women really don’t know how to do this. Same with the pelvic floor exercises – great to integrate these throughout.
Finally, I teared right up with the thank yous at the end with your families. Such a nice sweet blessing to share.

awesome!

I received a copy of this video as a gift in the first month of my pregnancy and I've done it (nearly) every day since. It's WONDERFUL. I'm in decent shape, but I hadn't done yoga before so I was nervous it would be too hard for me. Not so, though it is challenging. I feel I'm doing something good for my body, and good for my baby, and that feels good. I highly recommend it!
