exercise DVDs

[iskra]

Does anyone have any recommendations for pregnancy yoga/exercise DVDs? Since this is pregnancy 2 I think my chances of doing anything outside of the house are slim...

It's awesome and makes me feel like you're actually getting a reasonable workout.

Davina's pre and post natal workout. She can be a bit annoying but you can always mute her!

I asked a similar question & this helped loads

Thanks - should have thought this had been done to death!

Hi,

I think it depends on your intial level of fitness...

I have tried several pregnancy yoga DVDs and here is my feedback (the views are strictly personal. i am an advanced viniyasa flow practicioner. ranking below are on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest):

1. Shiva Rea - probaby the best one in the market; very good excercises; nice presentation suitable for beginners and experienced practicioners; easy to follow; score 9/10

2. Tara Lee - very mellow; suitable for complete beginners or late pregnancy;(she teaches at the Life Center in Notting Hill and many women absolutely love her class. personally, not my cup of tea as this does not feel like yoga to me); score 6/10

3. Jennifer Wolfe (Prenatal Viniyasa) - good excercises, but low budget presentation; suitable for practicioners with prior experience; score 7/10

4. Kristen Eykel (Lamaze yoga) - good and easy to follow excercises; suitable for complete beginners; nice presentation and clear instructions; score 8/10

5. Zoe Miku (Yoga during Pregnancy with Prior experience) - suitable for people in late pregnancy or no experience; easy to follow but a bit dull. score 6/10

I am also trying Elena Brower and and Mark Blanchard (both are quite famous in the US). Would be happy to send feedback in a few days if you are interested.

Thanks a lot Lily13- would love to hear your other feedback but thanks for that already above!

sure. no problem. if you tell me a bit more about what you are after (eg, relaxation, stretching or workout), i'll tell you which one would be best to use. they are all available from amazon uk and amazon us. will be in touch.
