Babies born to exercising mothers are healthier, experience fewer fetal complications during labor, and may even receive neurobehavioral benefits as a result of their mom s exercise regime while they are in utero.
Yoga is regarded as the ideal form of exercise for pregnant women a perfect way to meet the 30 minutes of exercise prescribed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Healthy Mom, Happy Baby is a gentle prenatal yoga practice designed for all three trimesters of your pregnancy. This video will help you:

- learn meditation techniques to help you access deep relaxation a tool you can use to replenish yourself between contractions;
- learn breathing and visualization strategies to release tension and manage pain during labor;
- increase your confidence and trust in the innate wisdom of your body;
- connect with your changing body and your growing baby;
- enjoy uninterrupted time to explore your emotions as you make the transition to motherhood.

The practice begins with a gentle warm-up that includes centering breath work, followed by 40 minutes of physical poses and ends with a 10 minute guided relaxation. You can do the entire practice or you can create your own shorter practice by selecting one or more of the exercise series listed below from the DVD menu.

1. Warm-up
2. Arm strengthening
3. Standing Series I and II
4. Balancing
5. Back Bending

Yoga helped us on our journey to motherhood: from preconception to labor and delivery and during the postpartum recovery phase. Yoga continues to help us live graciously as we meet the challenges and experience the joys of motherhood each day. We are eager to share the gifts of yoga with you, gifts that you can use during your pregnancy as you nurture yourself into motherhood and your growing baby into life outside the womb.

5 Stars I can’t help it, I love Denise Austin
Denise Austin is perpetually spunky and happy and cute. I actually caught myself SMILING throughout the whole DVD because she was telling me to. Most of the pregnancy fitness DVDs on the market are about calming down and relaxing… yoga, etc. It’s nice to actually stand up and do some cardio.
The level of exercise is DEFINITELY moderate, but you can increase it or decrease it depending on the size of the movements you make.
I appreciate that the routines are somewhat easier than normal DVDs - and my pregnancy brain appreciates that, too. I also enjoy that there is a weight-training section.
I’d say buy it! Especially for that price.
5 Stars Great Video
I love this video. It is great for firming and toning while pregnant and can be used in addition to a moderate exercise routine.
4 Stars Great work out for all stages of pregnacy
You will use this video! I like it because it is low impact so I do it on the days I’m feeling tired too. It’s a great all over work out that will make you feel refreshed and energized.
3 Stars OK
The video is pretty good. I have a couple others that give me a much better work out. It was inexpensive and I would buy again.
5 Stars GREAT workout for pregnancy!!
I LOVE this video! The workout is not to hard, but it will definately get your heart pumping. Its not to long either, so theres no getting bored or worn out before you complete it. I have recommended this to all my pregnant friends!
