Worked best for me
I own a variety of prenatal yoga dvds and this is one of my top 3. I have horrible sciatica in the pregnancy and nothing helps relieve the pain associated with the back of my leg, lower back as well as hip/joint pain like this dvd. There are a lot of easy and effective front bending postures which work to take the pressures off the areas pregnancy put pressures on. It's very easy to overstretch and hyperextend during pregnancy and this dvd does not leave room for those types of errors. I recommend it along with Shiva Rea's and "The Method". If you have sciatica your quality of life will be greatly improved by incorporating this into your prenatal lifestyle.

BEAUTIFUL
I am not sure why these other people have given Rainbeau less than five stars, I found it very much from the heart and because Rainbeau is actually pregnant herself, touching in a way that none of the other programs that I have watched have been.... Thank you Rainbeau, for sharing such a full and rich time in your life with those of up going through the same thing at home... It will definetely appeal to hip, open and probably younger enthusiastic but possibly scared moms to be. By the way, I have seen a picture of Rainbeau soon after her delivery in her Oxygen column and she bounced back amazingly without any strech marks... I will do what she suggests.... and for moms that are looking for the same, I recommend you do to....

not for me, probably not for many others
the instructor is a yoga guru obviously, but she does not know how to instruct prenatal exercises...i did not like the workout or the style in which she attempted to soothe and settle the body...i don't think others will really like this video either, it is not very good at all

From the Heart
I was completely blown away by this video.... Rainbeau offers a very personal and in your livingroom way to go through a very effective yoga routine. I am five months pregnant and found it so very thourough in technique, enjoyment and education. This is the first video that I have found that the teacher is pregnant herself and because of this, seems to be sharing a very personal, direct experience. I am grateful for her that she took the time to make this video as I myself can not imagine doing anything other than being pregnant right now. THANK YOU RAINBEAU FOR THIS GIFT.... I hope that all pregnant woman will get this video and that they are moved by it as deeply as I have been.

too west coast for me, and i live in seattle, strange
i like yoga and do it weekly, but i found rainbeau to be a different breed. the workout does not seem inspired by the pregnancy, it is a traditional yoga routine with very little information to help create safety and awareness for the safety of the mom and baby to be. I didn't care for this style of yoga and don't think this is a very well thought out video routine. FitMama by Leisa Hart is so much better, weird how the names are similar.
