Summary: Great Pregnancy Yoga Choice
Comment: This is a pretty simple review in that I truly have benefited from this product. Initially I thought it didn't have enough regular yoga poses and had too much about posture and breathing and simple stretches and poses. Shortly into my pregnancy though I started to have quite bad lower back and butt pains, due to the baby being too low. I found that all of the breathing and more simple poses helped more than anything else could have. I strongly recommend this book for pregnant women looking for either something to help relax their body or something to help stretch out sore areas. I also loved some of the meditation mantras for when I was having a really tough day and was "frustrated" with being pregnant. Anyhow, if you have a difficult pregnancy at all this is definitely the book for you, or "deck of cards" should I say!!

Great, indepth and informative, but I need to extra incentive in a class not on my own. Great cards though!

Summary: Wonderful pregnancy gift
Comment: I have used this through two pregnancies and the cards are terrific. You don't need to be well-versed in yoga to appreciate them - they are written in "plain English" and are mainly stretches, breathing exercises, and meditations. You can pick and choose whatever you want to do and there is helpful guidance on each card about how to practice or adjust the exercise as you pregnancy progresses. Just doing 10 min a night makes a difference in how peacefully I can sleep at night.

Summary: Excellent for Childbirth Education Classes!
Comment: I love this deck! I am a certified childbirth educator and this prenatal yoga deck is one of my favorite resources for my classes. Almost every pose has specific pregnancy or labor/birth related benefits. I put together a series of 6-8 poses from the deck that I use as an opening exercise in my classes--people often learn better by actually *doing* something and practicing the yoga poses together allows experiential practice of pelvic floor exercises, pelvic rocks, tailor sitting, optimal fetal positioning exercises, etc. instead of just me talking! Also, I emphasize to my students that birth happens in your BODY--we will spend a lot of time talking and sharing information, but birth doesn't happen in your mind, it happens in your body. People today spend much of their time "living in their heads" and many of us do not feel comfortable with, or at home in, our bodies. So, practicing the poses from this deck in class helps couples out of their heads and into their bodies and begins a process of feeling comfortable with moving and using their bodies in positive ways--I hope this helps develop a trust and confidence that will then contribute to a smooth and peaceful birth process.
The deck also includes several nice, short meditations that serve as a nice closing exercise either for the whole class, or for the exercise portion of class.
I forgot one more nice feature! Each pose has a positive birth affirmation that goes with it--I love these, because I feel like they help plant positive seeds of confidence and trust in the wisdom of women's bodies and of the beauty of birth.
To conclude, I love this deck and I strongly recommend it for other childbirth educators!

Summary: Great Tool
Comment: The prenatal yoga deck is a real find. I had already owned several DVDs when I came across Miller's deck, but decided to purchase it anyway. I am glad I did. At about eight months, I could barely move and the deck enabled me to stretch at my own pace. Now that my baby has moved and I have more space, I still use the deck just about every night so I can continue my practice at my level. I highly recommend this product, and plan to purchase it for my friends who became pregnant in the future.
