Prenatal Yoga for a Healthy Pregnancy

Yoga is the ideal form of exercise during pregnancy – and the Healthy Mom, Happy Baby DVD provides a wonderful way for you to enjoy the benefits of prenatal yoga in the comfort of your own home.

In addition to the obvious benefits to your overall wellness and relaxation, Healthy Mom, Happy Baby’s prenatal yoga strengthens the muscles you’ll use during childbirth. It also provides you with helpful meditation techniques you can use to replenish yourself during contractions, as well as useful breathing and visualization strategies.

Healthy Mom, Happy Baby yoga practice is ideal for women in all stages of pregnancy, and with any level of yoga expertise - from beginner to advanced.

The practice begins with a gradual warm-up, followed by 40 minutes of physical poses designed specifically to benefit pregnant women. The practice concludes with 10 minutes of guided relaxation.

The sequence includes:

  • Warm-up
  • Arm strengthening
  • Standing series (1 & 2)
  • Balancing
  • Back bending
  • Hip opening
  • Final relaxation

Healthy Mom, Happy Baby is led by Dr. Anna Davis and Lisa Black. Anna is a neurophysiologist, certified yoga instructor, and mother of two young girls – as well as the creator of the bestselling Bend, Breathe, and Conceive fertility yoga DVD. Lisa is a long-time yoga instructor, owner of two yoga studios in the Seattle area, and a proud new mother. Lisa was honored recently in Yoga Journal as a yoga instructor who is “…shaping yoga’s future”.

I received a copy of this video as a gift in the first month of my pregnancy and I’ve done it (nearly) every day since. It’s WONDERFUL. I’m in decent shape, but I hadn’t done yoga before so I was nervous it would be too hard for me. Not so, though it is challenging. I feel I’m doing something good for my body, and good for my baby, and that feels good. I highly recommend it!

The things I found most useful were:- Reference to baby throughout the practice – this is something some prenatal instructors fail to bring forward very well. This is the beauty of having a prenatal yoga class just for moms- To really honor the baby throughout the practice. For example, even saying ‘lift the baby’ was so pertinent to a woman who may not even know how to use her abs by the 3rd trimester. But lifting the baby may make more sense. - Easy to follow particularly with the set up of the mats and movement to face the tv. There is nothing worse than a good content dvd but difficult to follow because it was made for people actually watching and doing the practice. - The little option box off to the side for some poses was really useful (using the chair, strap, etc.)- The sequencing was perfect and I liked that you went back to the beginning poses at the end.- The most important aspect was the ‘why we do these poses’ that you integrated at the beginning/end of each section and throughout the poses. It really helps women understand why their hips need to be flexible or legs strong. - I liked that you showed how to transition to the floor from seated to lying down (using arms). Some women really don’t know how to do this. Same with the pelvic floor exercises – great to integrate these throughout. Finally, I teared right up with the thank yous at the end with your families. Such a nice sweet blessing to share.
