Following an introduction by pregnancy fashion guru Liz Lange, Yoga for Your Pregnancy, sponsored by Yoga Journal and Lamaze International, joins prenatal expert Kristen Eykel for a workout emphasizing the spiritual and physical wellness of women before, during, and after pregnancy. Consisting of two sequences--a 30-minute “rejuvenating” session for more energy and strength, and a 15-minute restorative session to help calm the mind--the workout features three women at different stages of pregnancy performing modified poses in a home setting with natural lighting and soothing music. In addition, the program has an interview on Lamaze philosophy and a video talk with instructor Eykel about the empowering influence of yoga on her life and how yoga helped with her first pregnancy. DVD extras include a short breathing class, a guided meditation, a five-minute session on using yoga in the delivery room, and an option to read articles on prenatal yoga originally published in Yoga Journal.
