Customer Reviews of Mark Blanchard's Progressive Power Yoga for Pregnancy
What a workout! I got this DVD for my wife when she was pregnant and faithfully did the exercises with her every time...this DVD is quite a workout even if you're not pregnant!
Beginner
I was given these DVDs by a friend and figured that since I did not do Yoga before I was pregnant, I would not be able to do it while I was pregnant. But I was really surprised to find that I was able to do everything, and they were very clear on how far to push yourself. I felt great afterwards! I had been having lower back pain and some of the floor poses have been really helping.
Not for Most, Perhaps not for Pregnancy at All
It is perhaps telling that the opening of this recording alternates shots of Blanchard doing extremely challenging yoga sutras with shots of his 3rd trimester wife doing slightly less fabulous poses -- What a healthy ego this guy seems to have! Blanchard's program is a 60 minute, challenging power yoga sequence only barely modified for pegnancy . In one rich moment, while he has the three women in flying pose, Blanchard cavalierly says something to the effect of "if you fall down, that's OK, your kid's going to take lots of falls in life." Could this be accurate (I don't think so)? Basically, this is a power yoga work-out with only the barest of sensitivity to the limitations of pregnancy. Blanchard asks his 3 students to go from plank to low plank to upward dog and then back to downward dog with a push-up, a move which even his extremely fit and experienced wife seems not quite able to do. She can do the push-ups, it's the upward dog that seems impossible (and which felt slightly dangerous to try). His coaching, which mostly involves his saying "nice!" and somewhat patronizingly calling the women "sweetie" or "honey" is minimal. A perfectly fine power yoga work out, but I'd say only for the very experienced and body-aware among us who will have to do their own modifications -- and this from a reviewer who has practiced pretty intense power yoga two - three times a week for 6 years.
