Editorial Review:
Yoga is the perfect tool for birth preparation as it strengthens the body, enhances flexibility and calms the mind. Inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli, the yoga in this DVD emphasises the breath, gravity and spinal alignment, all of which are essential for a comfortable pregnancy and positive labour. 'Buddhabellies - Yoga for Pregnancy' is a wonderful opportunity to practice with an experienced teacher in the comfort of your own home. There is a choice of three sessions of varying length suited to all stages of pregnancy beyond 14 weeks.
Active Birth Associate Nicole Croft introduces viewers to the benefits of practicing yoga while pregnant in this informative programme.
Inspired by Vanda Scaravelli, Nicole offers a wonderful introduction to Yoga for Pregnancy with three guided sequences. These are of varying lengths and adapted to suit different stages of pregnancy from 14 weeks to full term. Beautifully filmed, Nicole elegantly demonstrates the postures while 6 months pregnant, with clear background instructions. The timing is very good and one really gets the feel of the flow of the asanas guided and facilitated by the all important breath. The DVD aims to empower and help mums to be at all stages of pregnancy, offering a simple to follow guide which can easily and safely be used at home. Excellent. --Yoga and Health Magazine
Buddha Bellies is a nurturing, informative and relaxing pregnancy yoga DVD. It is also, in my view, a crucial step towards achieving an active birth. I did the intermediate session (a handy 45 mins) every day for the last six weeks of my pregnancy and I m sure it was a major component in my achieving the birth I wanted - in water, without any medical intervention. I think Nicole is that rare thing in pregnancy yoga - someone who really knows her stuff but who wears her knowledge lightly, always putting the postures first. I can t recommend this DVD more highly. --Annie Mills

Very beneficial DVD I started to use this DVD after 3 months of pregnancy based on the reviews on Amazon. I started off with the full session and have dropped back to the intermediate section in the DVD now that I am over 6 months pregnant. I agree with other reviewers that the DVD gives you a choice of programmes to follow depending on which stage of pregnancy you are at and also your comfort level. This also ensures that the routines don't get monotonous as you can pick and choose the programme you want to do on a particular... more info
Really enjoyed this DVD I bought this DVD on the back of the reviews it had received on Amazon and I have not been disappointed. The DVD is clear, well paced and, thankfully, doesn't have the typical yoga music on it.
I thoroughly recommend it, mostly because of the choice of the workouts. It has workouts of varying lengths to fit in with your busy, or not so busy, day.
Good DVD but with important caveat! I was looking for a pregnancy yoga dvd, liked the reviews and ordered this one. The presentation is professional, a little straight perhaps, clean, simple and the voice over clearly explains the various moves - I only ever did the very first workout (of three available) as I had not done yoga before. **That is very important!!** After doing the workout once, I began to get discomfort in the front of my pelvis - yes, the start of SPD (you ladies know what I mean). It turns out that not only does pregnancy... more info
Better than expected The truth is, whenever I've tried yoga in the past, I've never really liked it. I've always wanted to like it, but never did. This is the first yoga class (both DVD and at the gym) that I've liked! It is very relaxed, helps me with my breathing, and makes visualizing what's happenning to my body easy.
I definitely recommend this DVD! I'm in my 18th week, was able to do all the positions in the beginner 30 minute session without difficulty.
