While obviously I am not going to be a parent again, I know that there are many moms to be that follow our blog and would love to find a way to be able to stretch and exercise while pregnant, as long as it was safe. Newly released last month, there is a new Yoga DVD that focuses on the need for healthy, relaxing yoga for expecting moms to stay in shape and get ready for the big day.
At eight months pregnant, yoga expert and celebrity trainer, Jessica James, guides viewers through 3 complete yoga sequences that will get moms-to-be in pregnancy shape in her new DVD, “We Heart Yoga: Prenatal Flow”. Jessica has created this real world yoga flow program that was born out of her own experience as a pregnant yogi. Already a mom of one child, Jessica knew she needed yoga to prepare for the birth of her second child. The DVD addresses the challenges and changes during pregnancy. Jessica demonstrates the entire workout with detailed and soothing voice over instruction set to the original music score produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkuit.
Some prenatal yoga DVD’s are soothing and gentle, but they really don’t necessarily meet the needs of the pregnant woman who is serious about working with her body. Every pregnant woman is concerned about weight gain and knows that labor and delivery are just around the corner, so Jessica has designed this DVD to get moms in “pregnancy shape” and keep them there!
The DVD begins with an introduction to explain the terminology used, and what to expect from each different workout section. It teaches one how to “flow” while pregnant. The first workout section is a 20 minute cardio set designed with a quick warm up to burn calories and incorporate simple stretches when time is limited or energy is low. Section 2 is a 40 minute full body set that is focused on stabilization and breath work and gets the body ready for all of the pregnancy changes.
Section 3 is a 60 minute full body workout that is designed to strengthen the lower back and shoulders which is needed to support the additional weight gained during pregnancy. This segment concludes with deep and relaxing stretches and a simple guided meditation that sends light and love to the baby.
There is a bonus 10 minute meditation only section to mentally prepare moms for labor and delivery. Other bonus features include: a clock in the lower part of the screen to help with pacing; A with or without music option; and, an interview section with Jessica.
Jessica’s workouts are fun, energetic and challenging. They are a no-nonsense, yet easy to follow series designed for yoga mom’s to be.

‘Stop twisting. I stopped as soon as I confirmed I was pregnant. Twisting is detoxifying and It can stop proper circulation to the fetus if you twist to extremes. Open twists are safe.’ I didn’t know twisting was detoxifying. Good to know!

Liked and commented on this morning’s Facebook post about the rainy, wet day here in California. I went grocery shopping in it and barely noticed.
I visited their site and learned they had a blog. It looks pretty interesting and has great pics of some poses and article info that I could learn from.
Love it!
Taking a yoga class was one of the best experiences I have had with exercise and body/mind health, except for the instructor being rude and arrogant! I would like to get back into it.
I learned that Yoga is completely safe to do while pregnant .
Free Entry: awesome! I always feel ridiculously awkward while pregnant, especially while exercising since I always feel off balance.
This will be a nice DVD in hopes of getting pregnant
I went to the sponsor’s site and I learned that in their section called “Yoga modifications basics” they repeat twice to see your physician and tell him/her about this amazing yoga practice that you are about to embark on and honestly seek their advice.
Also wanted to thank you for the nice free entry.
I love yoga, and would thus love a DVD workout specifically for yoga during pregnancy! : )
Love yoga for exercise and just ordered another yoga DVD yesterday. This looks good and thanks for the free entry.
