Los Angeles yoga guru Gurmukh Khalsa guides 15 new moms and their babies through 30 minutes of yoga stretches and poses, a joyful two-minute baby dance, a brief bout of baby yoga, and about 10 minutes of rest and visualization in this post-baby installment of "The Method" series of exercise tapes. The white-turbaned instructor starts with a brief talk about childbirth, yogic breathing, and a recommendation to "reclaim" one's navel. Viewers join her at the live taping of a class in a large room with Greek columns, roses, and a chamber quintet. Since it's not edited, babies cry and fuss. This adds a realistic element of chaos to the tape, which the more traditional voice-over instruction ignores. Khalsa specializes in the Kundalini method, and in this tape she concentrates on slow stretches with a lot of abdominal work. The infants are included in some, as when the women roll back and forth with babies on their bellies or do "mama pushups" over the little ones. But once they are old enough to crawl, these exercises get difficult--as one baby repeatedly demonstrates. The infants are also incorporated in a cobra/triangle series, a set of Kegels, and are even used as weights. Then it's their turn with some baby stretches of their own. Finally, the moms are invited to lie down with their offspring for the rest and relaxation finale--although, predictably, some babies do neither. The 50-minute tape provides plenty of good ideas for moms who want to do yoga with their babies--or even on their own. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Summary: Ok, but not for early trimester mums hoping to do some typical yoga
Comment: The instructor is a bit excentric. But also it is not geared towards women in their early trimesters. If someone is looking for sunrise salutations or warrior yoga or any of the more modern yoga poses your out of luck. Maybe pop this dvd in when you are further along and you can no longer do the more typical poses. Plus if you not into the OM breathing techniques this DVD isn't the one for you. To me it just doesn't feel like the best dvd for the modern mum to be.

Summary: If you are a student of yoga-don't bother
Comment: I took prenatal yoga at a studio through my entire pregnancy. It was the greatest thing ever and prepared me for a beautiful easy labor and birth. This on the other hand was a waste of money. I wanted something to do with my child along the same lines as when she was in the womb. The instructor on the video was incredibly annoying. I have had spiritual yoga teachers with very relaxed voices before, but she must have been hitting the hooka with Mary Jane if you know what I mean. Also, her style of yoga was more about repetitive movement versus breathing through your pose and letting breath bring you to your goal. If you have taken a yoga class before, you may not enjoy this at all. If you don't like people who talk like they are high, you may not enjoy this video either.

Summary: Baby & Mom Postnatal Yoga
Comment: A little slow to take off, the instructor's voice is boring and a little creepy. Would have liked a little more exercise interaction with the baby. Wasn't very unique or interesting. Very basic obvious routines, great for the beginner.
Customer Rating:
Summary: sloppy yoga, messy video
Comment: I shouldn't complain, since this was a gift, but as someone with some yoga knowledge, and years of exercise class experience, I thought this was a mess. (I am less concerned about the vague spirituality of the instructor, since that can be ignored by those who are not interested, and it is not the main point.) The concept of recording a real class is interesting, but the editing made it hard to follow. The moms were doing all sorts of things, since their babies needed attention, so it's often not clear what to do - the camera would be on someone not following the exercises and attending to her baby when a new exercise began. The instructor's counting is loopy. It's never clear how many will be done, and the repetitions are done at different speeds, sometimes impossibly slow, sometimes impossibly fast. Never focused on form, as we should. There was very little about it that was yoga, and I was just stunned that the instructor would refer to "downward dog" as "triangle pose," a very different pose. Mostly, I think this is sloppy, with a few good exercises, but there's got to be something better out there, for moms and babies both.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too much eastern religion; too little work out.
Comment: The instructor looks like a Hindu priestess. She begins the workout by having everyone chant to their inner being. I had to fast forward through alot. The exercises are good, but there are too few of them.
