5 Stars beautiful and sensual
this dvd is beautiful,I already love veena and neena,its lovely that neena made this video,it makes me feel so soothed and calmed.a brilliant companion for us pregnant mums,made me feel very calm and sensual.

5 Stars Just what I was looking for!
This workout is really lovely–a good level of activity and toning exercises, but fun and sensual. I first tried the prenatal bellydance video with Naia and was really wishing that there was a Neena/Veena video instead. The Naia video was harder to follow, with not enough instruction and more complicated floor moves. I have been doing Neena/Veena videos for years and love them. I was so happy to find this video and I exercise to it frequently, in addition to yoga and cardio such as walking and elliptical.

5 Stars Prenatal Yoga
I love this workout! I am in my second trimester, I’m not showing yet, so I am able to follow the first trimester poses for the most part. This video moves at a wonderful pace, has a very nice setting with no annoying music or constant talking. It’s pure instruction and very effective! I absolutely recommend this video to anyone!

5 Stars prenatal yoga dvd
Great yoga workout for pregnant women! Seems up-to-date with modifications for pregnant women, unlike other “prenatal” videos I’ve tried. I like the style, the selection and overall tone of the dvd.

3 Stars Overall a good yoga DVD, but not as vigorous as I prefer
To introduce myself, I am 30 years old and weighed about 118 pre-pregnancy. I consider myself to be in good shape.

With that said–I do enjoy doing this DVD. It is very relaxing but it does have some challenging poses that encourage strength and stretch. It is a good DVD to do when I need to just relax while doing gentle movements. It’s a perfect way to start out my day or unwind in the afternoon.

On the flip side, I don’t rely on this DVD for my only activity for the day, as I prefer to actually feel more challenged. I pair this DVD with a trip to the gym or a long, brisk walk. I go to a prenatal yoga class 1-2 times a week that is more vigorous and doesn’t treat me like I am fragile. So, if you exercised regularly before you got pregnant and have done at least a few yoga classes, this one may make you yawn, although I am not advising against it (like I said, it is beneficial, just not for getting you energized). I have ordered FitMama and Pilates for Pregnancy so we’ll see how they measure up…

Hope this helps.

5 Stars Nice for the Price
I enjoyed this. Very relaxing music and positions are demonstrated for each trimester. Was not expensive either.

2 Stars Good for stretching, not to get a workout.
I’ve been to yoga classes where you get more of a workout than this one. This is more like a stretching exercise. My complaint is a lot of the stretches seemed to repeat many times. The equipment required for use to follow the exercise like the block, straps are kinda specialised items you’d have to buy. I tried to substitue with items I can find at home like a step stool, and rope.

For a real workout, I prefer the Perfect Pregnancy workout dvd with Karyne Steben.
