Certified instructor description: Two distinct programs — both focus on enriching your physical, mental and emotional health during this special time. The prenatal workout features “opening” postures designed to relieve stress, strengthen your back and create space for your baby (e.g. a “pigeon” pose that opens your hips). The postnatal program is a little more challenging. It includes movements selected to reintegrate the pelvic floor muscles and rebalance your nervous system. Both workouts emphasize relaxation, breathing and connecting with your baby (e.g. “one hand on your heart, one hand on your abdomen”). Peaceful garden setting and quiet music. ©2009.

Element: Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga

prenatal yoga

I like this video. I haven't been doing yoga very long and think it is fine! It works for me :) - posted by jd on 3/23/2012

I liked it

I am currently five months along and am just beginning to transition into prenatal workouts versus working out as normal (can no longer keep up so well!). Finding anything that isn't an absolute snooze fest has been a real struggle. I have tried and rejected many dvds so far and my biggest complaint is they are largely TOO EASY. I tend to like a more athletic style yoga when I am not pregnant and this has a small element of strengthening (warrior, chair) but I got the most benefit from the stretchy aspect of it. I have had a lot of leg cramping and my calves can remain sore for days. This stretched me out nicely; in fact I could have used a few more down dogs. Overall a good purchase, not a waste of time or money. - posted by Melissa on 7/8/2010

Really liked it, but probably not for everyone

I did ashtanga (power) yoga before getting pregnant and found most prenatal yoga dvds put me to sleep. This one was more challenging, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone new to yoga. The production quality is great, with a peaceful setting and soothing music. I wouldn't have minded a little less instruction from the voice-over (sometimes it got distracting), but it wasn't that bad. I haven't tried the postnatal workout yet, but appreciate that both are included on one DVD and look forward to doing it after the baby's born. - posted by Vivienne on 10/15/2009

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
