Shiva Rea DVD

Regne

For those of you who said you use the Shiva Rea prenatal yoga DVD...do you need blocks or other props??? (or will a blanket and pillows suffice???)

 TIA!

I have to be honest, I've been a total slacker and have only done the warm up section so far

But, for that at least, I didn't use any blocks.  You do use a chair, but just a regular kitchen chair is fine, and I did sit on a pillow for some of it.   Sorry I'm lazy and can't give you more feedback on the rest of the video.  I'd say there will probably be parts where a block will come in handy (esp. if/when you do the modifications for the later trimesters).  I don't have a block so I'll probably rig up something ghetto (small cardboard box or something).  

 Hope this (sort of) helps!

I do it with just a blanket. Some of the modifications for 2nd and 3rd trimesters require a chair.

Yeah I don't have blocks either and I'm too cheap/lazy to buy them...if I need them I'll probably just use boxes too, or something equally ghetto.

Thanks!

PS - there is a kegel section in the video I have, which is hilarious, because it's just three women on screen, sitting there...  It's like Sit and be Fit...for your vag.

as PP said, just a chair otherwise a blanket and pillow should be fine.  I have only done the warm up section as well so far!  I should probably try to do a little more now.

I previewed the DVD but haven't tried it yet. The second trimester model uses a block for some of the poses, and also a strap, but other than that it's a chair and blankets. I don't have a block either and was thinking of trying a thick book instead of buying one!

Like previous poster said, I thought the Kegel part was a little awkward. They're all sitting there with legs open!

I got a good feeling about the DVD though, as I was watching it, and am excited to try.

I used DH's belt instead of the rope and a fiber supplement container instead of the block..I'm cheap. I really like this DVD but I can?t help but laugh at their outfits every single time!!
