   Shiva was bad in her prenatal video and i think even worse in this video, she is boring, not uplifting and very plain. I do not like this yoga at all, other yoga is so much better, she is not a good video instructor at all.

   The people at Yoga Journal and Shiva Rea have done it again! I really love this workout. There are three stages to the workout with an appendix of basic stretches at the end that you can perform daily when you have a few minutes. The first stage can be done the day after giving birth- it consists of kegels, pelvic tilts, simple stretches, and relaxation. The second stage is sitting poses, and the third is standing postures. There are modifications demonstrated for women in various stages of postpartum and different fitness levels throughout the workout. I found it a great way to ease back into yoga, and highly recommend the video.

   I love, love, love this postnatal workout. Too bad I’m moving on to other workouts now that I feel back in shape. This video has it all for getting back in shape gently after giving birth. Some of the exercizes/stretches can be done as soon as you feel like it, while others you would want to work into as you recover. This tape progresses nicely from very easy stretches and poses, to more intense poses. There are modifications for all fitness levels and the instructions are clear. The exercizes are geared to target the exact muscles that need to be toned and strengthened after childbirth. This is an effective workout without being strenuous or exhausting (after all, who really feels like a strenuous workout after a few hours of sleep?)
