Yoga Healthy Yoga Lifestyle

The New Method: Baby and Mom: Prenatal Yoga Relaxing, strengthening, and allowing oneself to feel rather than think have long been associated with ancient yoga practice. Instructor Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa expertly ties this essential combination of physical experiences together in a gentle exercise video for pregnant women of all fitness levels. Prior to the 45-minute routine, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa discusses the role of yoga in helping with pregnancy; the calm and security that develop through guided breathing and gentle movement are transferred from the mother’s body to her growing baby. The nonimpact routine itself provides ample warm-up, toning, and conditioning portions, as well as a deep, head-to-toe relaxation and visualization segment. Ten pregnant students (all pleasantly unrehearsed) stretch, bend, and learn along with the viewer, to the peaceful sounds of a live band consisting of wood flute, bass, quiet drum, and shimmering bells. Every bit as enriching for the soul as it is for the body. –Liane Thomas
Customer Review: Chanting and shrill voice make it hard to relax
I was extremely disappointed in this DVD. I’ve done yoga from DVDs before and have never been so annoyed at the instructor as to actually stop what I was doing and fast forward through. The instructor is too out there for me…Telling me to imagine squatting in a forest to give birth while I’m squatting on the mat? Asking me to chant her name? I enjoy connecting with my body and baby but this is just too over-the-top. I can’t believe this was ever marketed to the mainstream - even the editing is bad. The primal dance scene is pretty funny, though.
Customer Review: non-functioning dvd
This DVD didn’t play, either in my DVD player, or my computer. Returning it was a hassle, and I was still charged for shipping. These DVDs should really be tested at the factory, or wherever they are burned, to make sure they function properly!
