I use Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea, and I really enjoy it. She gives you options to use during each of your trimesters to keep it safe and comfortable. I know you can get it on Amazon, but you might try HMV as well. I think I may have seen it for sale at Pure Yoga - I'll have a look for you tomorrow. By the way, if you can make lunchtime classes, the new prenatal yoga teacher at Pure on Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes is excellent (no affiliations - I just enjoy her class!)

LOVE - Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea. (good recommendation Miffy.) Used it with both pregnancies and loved it. Many people like the Rocki's Prenatal - but I only found it mediocre - didn't like the "feel" of the video. Not soothing and calming at all. Shiva Rea's has a nice ambience - makes you relax. Her postnatal yoga is also just as good.

I am interested in finding a pregnancy yoga DVD too. Thanks for the above thoughts - I have called Pure Yoga in Centrium this afternoon and asked about the Shiva Rea DVD but no luck (miffy - let us know if you have better luck asking in person). I am hoping to head to HMV this afternoon and will let you know if I find one there.

Ok - been to the HMV through Landmark and they do stock the Shiva Prenatal Yoga DVD but none in stock at the moment. I have ordered one. Miffy/HKCC - is it ok to use if you have never done yoga before?
Please support our advertisers:
definitely can use it if you've never done yoga. The stretches are gentle and basic and nothing too crazy. Feels great too!

how basic is it? ive done quite a bit of yoga before and wondering if it iwll be too basic - ...now sure how much it is in hmv - but they do have some on amazon.com..

Qwerty - the DVD was $140 at HMV - a little more expensive than the price on the Amazon US website once you add on postage but I thought it would just be easier to get from HMV.

qwerty - I have also done quite a bit of yoga, and whilst it is not difficult, I still enjoy it (and feel really good after it). Don't forget, it's supposed to be gentle for a reason! As I mentioned, there are 3 people in the video, each in different trimester, so you follow the one who is at the same stage as you. I was not 'challenged' by the video in my first trimester but still liked doing it
(and wasn't bored), but funnily enough now I'm in my third trimester it's all become a lot harder!!
