Suzanne Bowen and Leah Sarago are top notch fitness experts and I truly enjoy learning from them and using their concepts to better my own physical health!

5 Stars perfect prenatal workout!
This is such a perfect workout! I love how it is challenging but doable! I also love that i can pick and choose the segments if i am not feeling up to the full workout! I love the stretching… it really releases stress and the little aches and pains of pregnancy! I always feel renewed and refreshed after this workout! Thank you both Suzanne and Leah for this inspiring and encouraging workout DVD! A must have for mommies!!!!!

5 Stars Wanting to stay fit while pregnant- MUST BUY THIS WORK OUT!
I’m 7 months pregnant, and highly recommend Suzanne Bowen’s Long and Lean Prenatal Work Out (even if you are not pregnant). Finally, a prenatal dvd that actually tones the body without jerking!! You definitely “feel the burn,” without feeling like you’re hurting the baby.

My favorite section is the stretching. It totally relaxes and stretches out my pregnancy hip aches. The music is meditative and inspiring. I feel totally de-stressed and focused on loving my baby and body.

Another plus, a hidden surprise, there’s a postnatal work out. Also, I love that I can do the work out with just the music, which helps me focus even more.

I couldn’t get through the rest of my pregnancy without this! I get people commenting on how fit I am at 7 months. Preggo’s you must get this DVD!!

5 Stars Just what I wanted
I just received this in the mail and finished the DVD. It is exactly what I wanted. Very soothing and calming. This is not a yoga work out DVD like Power yoga. It is very calm and I think well suited for beginners. I haven’t practiced yoga for 5 years, but I could do this DVD.

I picked this DVD over the others listed because I did not want a work out, just relaxation and stretching. I highly recommend this to someone who wants the same

5 Stars great yoga workout
I have 4 pre-natal yoga DVD and I choose to do this one most of the time, my back is much better, it is really a pity that it is not as popular as the shiva rea pre-natal dvd, I found it after searching a researching a lot. For anyone looking for a gentle but very effective yoga practice I highly recommend this dvd.

4 Stars Relaxing
I am in my first trimester and I did prenatal yoga at a center throughout my previous pregnancy.

This video is easy to follow, with clear all-English instruction and modifications demonstrated. The instructor’s voice is calm and soothing without being syrupy or new agey.

I didn’t find it that challenging or interesting, however. I will probably need to mix it up with other videos throughout my pregnancy to stay interested in my practice.

5 Stars Relaxing
I wasn’t looking for an intense yoga work out, just one to help relieve back ache, stretch and just relax. I got this one and the Shiva Rea video and I really like the Mimi Solaire one better. I have used it through each trimester and the only thing I had real difficulty with is the child pose in the third trimester.

The voice is slightly monotonous but is good at explaining the poses. And they do some extra things that you might not think of like rolling your ankles to help with swelling. The Shiva Rea one does have a special section totally devoted to kegals if you forget to do them though…

I mainly did this video before work in the morning and noticeably felt better on days that I did it versus days I skipped.

4 Stars Prenatal Yoga by Mimi Soltaire
I like the fact that it shows 3 different woman in the 3 trimesters. It shows you how to modify the poses if you are unable to do them or become uncomfortable. It’s definitely a good workout. It gets my heart going and the stretches are great! I was impressed.
