I wanted some yoga work that would help keep my muscles flexible (especially since, in my 6th month now, I am having some back pain), but not be too challenging for one who´s been away from yoga for awhile. I like the fact that modifications are shown for poses that may be difficult for those of us who are less flexible or not as good at balance these days. That said, the instructor´s running commentary about the baby, not being able to see your toes, ´feeling the love you have for your baby,´ yada yada yada, was annoying on the first viewing and will only get to be more so the more I use the tape. I´ll probably be watching with the sound turned off, once I learn the poses.. And summed up by saying Good yoga, cheesy commentary.

Starz / Anchor Bay claimed This edition also contains a video of Hap Palmer´s Baby Songs. Crunch, a New York-based gym, keeps bringing innovative and hip exercise videos to VCRs across the country. You don´t have to be in a metropolitan area to experience cutting-edge fitness trends and formats because Crunch: Yoga Mama delivers an effective (and chic) prenatal workout that can be done in the comfort of your living room. Instructor (and pregnant woman) Sue Elkind leads this 40-minute workout with concise descriptions and a healthy knowledge of yoga as it relates to pregnancy. The content here provides a workout that is both safe and efficient, with great attention to participants´ individual fitness levels. This session is presented with a backdrop class (consisting of women in various stages of their pregnancies) that demonstrates modified and more challenging options to each pose. Pregnant participants may find it more appropriate (and less annoying) to take direction from another pregnant woman rather than an ultra flexible, ultra thin instructor who is not pregnant. Basic postures within yoga are taught with intensive focus on breathing, flexibility, and the constant connection between mind and body (and mother and child). Some poses are altered to accommodate the roundness of the midsection, with constant awareness of spine alignment. Elkind gives special attention to balance as she slowly increases the intensity of postures. After a series of basic poses are performed, exercises are practiced that strengthen the pelvic floor and meditation closes out the workout. This basic format is friendly for beginners, prenatal and postnatal women, or for anyone who requires modifications. This safety-conscious video offers a simple, straightforward workout with real potential for increased strength and flexibility. Props needed: a blanket or pillow, a mat, and (especially if you are expecting) a chair. --Olivia Voigts
