Do You Know What You Want in a Pregnancy Yoga DVD?

March 21, 2009

Before you go out and buy a pregnancy yoga DVD, you really ought to give this purchase some thought. Sit down and make a list of everything that you would like in a pregnancy yoga video. Do you want it to be more exercise focused or more spiritual focused? Is there a specific type of yoga that you would like to practice or that you already do practice? Do you want a DVD that shows lots of people or just a few? Do you want a DVD that shows you exactly how to do modifications of poses during the different stages of your pregnancy? Do you want a more intense workout or one that is more on the relaxing side?

Sit down and write out the most important aspects of what you want in a prenatal yoga DVD. It does not have to be a long list but having at least some sort of list can help you narrow down your choices and can help you be sure to get the right DVD for you.

Having Fun With Pre Natal Yoga

March 11, 2009

I know that when I think of exercise, fun is not typically a word that comes to mind first. But it can be fun if you let it, especially with pre natal yoga. You can have fun with the poses and you can make a special time that is just for you and your baby. So what are some ways that you can make this fun?

One of the best ways to make any activity fun is to smile when you are doing it. In most prenatal yoga DVDs, you will see the instructor and the people with her smiling. Take their cue and smile yourself. It is hard to think of something as difficult when you put a smile on your face while you are doing it.

Another good way to make it fun is to think of the time that you practice pre natal yoga as a time that is only for you and your baby. Having that special bonding time can make it fun and can make it an activity that you look forward to.
