Pre-Natal Yoga DVD suggestions?

Paddlefisher · June 2013

Seeking suggestions for a good pre-natal yoga DVD. Need something more than stretching, but am not advanced. Current yoga practice is largely Vinyasa (flow) with poses like: Warrior 1 & 2, Chair, Boat, Bridge, Pigeon, Lizard, Plank, Side Plank, Side Angle, Triangle, High Lunge, Gentle Cobra, Tree, Garland, and Down Dog. Town where I live has nice yoga community, but no pre-natal classes.

I never found any that I liked so I just printed off prenatal moves off Pinterest and did them on my own.

Some of the less advanced yoga classes aren't heated above 85 degrees, so I have continued with those through my entire pregnancy. I'm 34 weeks now. Some moves need to be modified, especially that involve twisting when your belly is in the way. But, as long as it's not hurting more than a working muscle burn or stretch, and you're not getting too hot, all is well. It's great for your joints as they get loose and to practice breathing that you can use in labor!
I tried prenatal and thought it was just glorified stretching, a waste of time!

I really enjoyed: Complete Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Short Forms 2 DVD Set

I got it off of amazon. I liked the short forms (15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins) more than the long portion of the DVD personally.

I bought Shiva Rea's Prenatal DVD at the suggestion of a friend. I find it pretty easy, especially compared to her Power Yoga, but I like it. I haven't found myself "needing" prenatal modifications yet since I'm still early but I wanted to try it out as soon as I got it.

Hope you find something that works!

Sarah Longacre has a GREAT prenatal yoga DVD. I did yoga with her for my entire third trimester, and love her approach. It's a good mix of stretching and strengthening and preparation for delivery and recovery. Here's a youtube preview and a link to amazon.
