I practiced yoga before becoming pregnant, and was hoping to continue my yoga practice, getting the benefits of relaxation and strengthening. This DVD does provide both relaxation and strengthening. However, I found it to be best for beginners. The instructor moves very slowly which can be frustrating at times. The DVD is also very long, so those of you who are still working may find it difficult to squeeze this workout in. It is possible to stop at any point, but then it feels like you are missing something from your workout. This DVD is helpful with relaxation, but I have not felt the benefits of gaining strength and toning as I have in some other DVD's (which is also an important part of having a healthy and easy pregnancy!). I would recommend this video for a beginner who has lots of time on their hands!
