Re: Good prenatal yoga video?
I was very excited to get two prenatal yoga DVDs for christmas- I've only tried one so far. I've been doing yoga for several years but had to hold off for 3 months due to horrible m/s. I'm anxious to get back to it now that i'm in the second trimester and starting to feel better.
The Element Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga with instructor Elena Bower is split into two short sessions. I only did the prenatal one, and its about 30 mins. Easy workout. Gets you stretched out and centered. Would be great for beginners, and for those easing back into it like me. (more advanced yogis might be bored, but then again they might not be looking for a dvd either)
The second one is Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga by Gaiam. It is 70 minutes. Don't know yet if that is split up into smaller workouts. When I try this one out later this week I'll let you know what I think.
I've got a couple of good pregnancy yoga books too that give you good do's and don'ts. If you're interested I can go look up the titles. I would recommend yoga to anyone and everyone- I hear it does wonderful things for childbirth, so we'll see!
I like these two:

and
