Customer Reviews of ZenMama: Prenatal Yoga Workout with Rainbeau Mars

Great video for any stage of pregnancy!
I think that some reviewers failed to understand certain things. It's yoga, and as such, it's not an aerobics video. Yoga is more about strengthening and breathing techniques, whereas aerobics is about sweating and constant movement. I love the video. Since I've been married, I'm nowhere near a yoga studio, so I haven't had the opportunity to practice it. To me, this was just like my old yoga studio, and I love it! I must allay any fears about the "extended" section on Kegels. The section is very brief, just to inform us how to do the exercise and to advise that it can be done anywhere. Very useful, IMHO, and very tasetfully done.

Good if you're used to yoga
I really like this DVD. For once, it's a prenatal yoga workout that doesn't seem like I'm watching that old Sit To Be Fit TV workout with the old woman in the plain leotard and monotone studio droning out the exercises.

It's more like being in a yoga studio. Rainbeau Mars is instructive without being overbearing, soothing and spiritual without being hokey. It's like she's a friend in the room with you, not too formal.

There is also a menu selection so you can do the workout with music and no talking once you get the routine down, or if you want to modify the routine.

The problem with the DVD is that sometimes Rainbeau Mars is a bit confusing or doesn't describe things as best as I think she could. If you don't normally do yoga, it might be difficult to understand some of the form, although, you could still find value in it and figure it out by watching the DVD a time or two before participating. I actually had a breakthrough in improving my form from something she said.

I also wish that she had an additional workout, maybe a second stretching workout or additional poses you could opt into with the menu before starting the workout.

The progressions are simple, but if you have been practicing yoga for a long time, you will still find that you can make them challenging. She also leads you through Kegel exercises better than any other DVD I've seen. She does the Kegels just long enough to understand why they are in the context of the DVD without overkill(afterall, how much of a DVD do you need devoted to something you can do anywhere).

Of the prenatal yoga DVDs available, I think this is the best option, and a pretty good one at that.

yuk, instructor is too spaced out for me
i did this workout once and traded it, the instructor is TOO SPACED OUT for me, she is the ultimate California Yoga type who will bother the heck out of alot of people. She greated my nerves and was not very good at motivating, relaxing, or teaching. This is two thumbs down
