As the founder of Hypnobabies, many Prenatal Yoga DVDs have been sent to me to review, and Dr. Christine’s Dynamic Prenatal Yoga is my favorite. It goes beyond the gentle stretching and relaxation of most of the ones I’ve seen before, and gives the expectant mom a real Prenatal Yoga session, helping her to easily tone and condition the muscles that she will use to give birth to her baby, along with wonderful breathing exercises to start the workout with. Peace and serenity are evident in all of the movements at the same time that excellent work is being done. All of this compliments what we teach in Hypnobabies, and I highly recommend this DVD!

User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Decent but long workout, disconcerting imagery
If you have 1.5 hours to get through the entire dvd it is helpful, but the background folk Christian and punk art-deco style (?) imagery (e.g., headless naked blue mannequin wrapped in outdoor lights standing behind the instructor) is out-of-place, as is the image of the instructor herself. I also found it hard to relax looking at the harsh contrasting lime green, black, and blue colors in the instructor’s studio/living room. Finally, Dr. Anderson is a chiropractor not a medical doctor so don’t let the title fool you into thinking she brings medical knowledge to this — in fact, she advises everyone use a chiropractor during pregnancy — something I’ve never heard or read anywhere else!
1 Star don’t buy it
I bought this product after reading good reviews. What a waste of money. It is the worst kind of quality you can imagine. Real home movie stuff and although the yoga moves are good, the instructor is so right on that it just puts you off. Save your money and go for a walk!
5 Stars Excellent
Excellent video. I am 8 months pregnant and have been doing this video since month 3…it has been challenging each month. It’s a great combo of stretching and strengthening. It is quite long (90 minutes) but divided into chapters, so you can choose to do all or part of the video. The cover looks very strange but the instructor is actually pretty normal… as far as yoga teachers go.
3 Stars Annoying…but good workout
I have done yoga for over 10 years, and have to say that this was the most annoying CD I have ever done. Christine was mono-tone, boring, and like another reviewer said, put in her sales pitch for chiropractic medicine which I found tasteless. The music makes you want to fall asleep. The only think that keeps you awake are the poses. She does a decent job with the yoga…but again, their is no fluidity.
2 Stars too long and to hard for me
i am sure it is a great DVD…
but for women who are expecting a baby and not really working….. 90 minutes it is a lot…
i thought it would be 90 min , but with different parts… to be able to do whatever you have time to do … choose a part… and come back without starting from the beginning… i couldn’t do the all thing…. and i feel i always have to start from the beginning again…. i don’t think it is good to skip the beginning and start from where i stopped the last time.
All the women on DVD are VERY pregnant , and all really comfortable with each exercises… it is amazing!!!
Also i am a beginner, and it is ok to follow the exercises… pretty much…but better to know about yoga …
i also bought the DVD, The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1 from Karyne Steben for workout and loved it… short , different levels… i could almost do it everyday… better for me.
