Feels great for anyone with chronic pain

This class is sort of a joke compared to others on YD...there are literally just a couple poses and she does them very quickly. I understand the need to rock the pelvis - but a three-minute arm hold in a 12 minute class seems a bit strange to include. There are little to no modifications given for any posture, which is especially crazy considering she clearly isn t pregnant.
The meditation at the end is the only reason I gave a 1.5 instead of a 1 - it was nice to relax to the nature sounds - once I got over laughing at the teacher stretching out on a sheepskin rug in the dark. :)

I find that when I get this one horrible pregnancy related back pain, this 12 minute program fixes it. I can t think of an easier solution for my mid back pain.

Have to agree with the previous user. Some moves are awkward and uncomfortable. Also, I m shocked that a teacher would rate their own class. Unprofessional. Skip this class.

I am sorry that the previous reviewer did not enjoy her class. I have been pregnant- TWICE! And the women in my class are truly all levels of flexibility. Many are even hyper flexible during pregnancy for the first time int heir lives :)
The point of this practice is not to replace a class that you love, it is to augment what you may already be doing, as well as address the common aches and pains of pregnancy that I hear day in and day out from my classes.
I have been teaching Pregnancy yoga for over a decade, and these postures are truly the mainstays of a healthy pregnancy and a strong delivery.
Of course, ALL of the Yoga Emergency- the 12 Minute Workout titles are safe for pregnancy! I made them to address the body concerns that so many folks feel- both during pregnancy and from everyday life.
I sincerely hope that you try them for yourself, as I have had literally thousands of satisfied women in my practice, both from in person as well as video classes.
Many blessings and Sat Nam- Kristen

Save your money and avoid this class! It is only 12 minutes of "yoga" followed by about 4 minutes of meditation. That s almost a dollar per minute, and the practice wasn t anywhere near the quality of those of the YDL audio downloads I ve purchased. The moves are not at all relaxing, invigorating, or even suitable for pregnancy. It is clear that the instructor has never been pregnant. If she had been, she would know there is no way that a pregnant woman in her third trimester can touch her knee to her nose! The spinal moves are also almost impossible to do with a large pregnant belly. It finishes off with 3 solid minutes of rolling your wrists in circles. I don t know how what this was supposed to accomplish; all it did was aggravate my carpal tunnel. I don t recommend this workout at all. If you are looking for an excellent practice that can be used throughout pregnancy, try Jackie s Gentle Hatha Yoga #1 or #2 - they are fantastic.
