"I would definitely recommend Prenatal Yoga DVD with Shiva Rea. She breaks up the workout into 3 sections approximately 15 minutes each, so you can do what you have time for. I feel great after doing the stretches. There are 3 woman who do the routine on tape, one for each trimester of pregnancy, so you always have someone to follow. The prenatal yoga video tape has gentle music in the background and a visually appealing backdrop for the class." ~ Julie Scott, Mountain View, CA
