Prenatal Yoga

I spent a lot of time pre-pregnancy looking up prenatal yoga videos, watching clips, reading reviews etc; I wanted something halfway challenging, relaxing, stretching, etc; while the Denise Austin power yoga is effective, I wanted more of the slower paced relaxed yoga setting, suited for the needs of a pregnant woman and her baby. I'm hoping this video will also prevent my sciatic nerve from bothering me too much. With my 2 prior pregnancies I had the habit of laying on the floor and watching tv and then beaching myself there because I couldn't hardly get up without Mitch helping me because of that nerve getting pinched. I also wanted to keep my flexibility and strength but to do things safely with my pregnant bod.
