No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: YOGA MAMA Title: PRENATAL YOGA Street Release Date: 04/27/2004 Genre: FITNESS Amazon.com: Crunch, a New York-based gym, keeps bringing innovative and hip exercise videos to VCRs across the country. You don't have to be in a metropolitan area to experience cutting-edge fitness trends and formats because Crunch: Yoga Mama delivers an effective (and chic) pre-natal workout that can be done in the comfort of your living room. Instructor (and pregnant woman) Sue Elkind leads this 40-minute workout with concise descriptions and a healthy knowledge of yoga as it relates to pregnancy. The content here provides a workout that is both safe and efficient, with great attention to participants' individual fitness levels. This session is presented with a backdrop class (consisting of women in various stages of their pregnancies) that demonstrates modified and more challenging options to each pose. Pregnant participants may find it more appropriate (and less annoying) to take direction from another pregnant woman rather than an ultra flexible, ultra thin (non-pregnant) instructor. Basic postures within yoga are taught with intensive focus on breathing, flexibility, and the constant connection between mind/body (and mother/child). Some poses are altered to accommodate the roundness of the midsection with constant awareness of spine alignment. Elkind gives special attention to balance as she slowly increases the intensity of postures. After a series of basic poses are performed, Kegels are practiced (which strengthen the pelvic floor), and meditation closes out the workout. This basic format is friendly for beginners, pre- and post-natal women, or anyone who requires modifications. This safety-conscious video offers a simple, straightforward workout with real potential for increased strength and flexibility. Props needed: a blanket or pillow, a mat, and (especially if you are expecting) a chair. --Olivia Voigts Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful way to keep relaxedI just bought this DVD and loved it. If you are still maintaining a hard-core workout mentality, this is not the DVD for you. However, if you are accepting of your changing body and priorities, then this is perfect! The DVD shows you how to properly breath, relieves stress and aches/pains associated with an expanding body. Its focus on overall wellness during pregnancy, including listening to your body on a day-by-day basis. I use this DVD and also walk a couple of times a week and this combo ... Read More Rating: - yoga mamaThis is a very good video. The instructor gives good direction, including modifications and, very important, advises participants not to push yourself or do anything uncomfortable for you. It is a complete program, but a "do-able" length (45 min). Rating:  - Love this DVD!At first I thought this DVD would be cheesy but I really like it. The exercises are fairly easy to do and it really helps once you get into your 6-7th month. Rating: - Love, Love, Love it!I tried 3 different yoga DVDs during my pregnancy, and I love this one. The instructor is really positive and calming. She smiles a lot and talks to you like an equal, which I really appreciate. I was a beginner to yoga and had no problem learning the poses. I'm so glad I found this. I've even used it a few times since having my baby. Rating: - Great for my back and hipsThis video is great if you're having back, neck, or hip pain. The instructor is easy to follow and they make sure to have modifications available if needed. The pace is slow and relaxing focusing mainly on stretches. If you're looking for something more fast paced, this isn't the one for you, but if you want to work out sore muscles and sleep better, try it. |
