Prenatal Yoga (2003, DVD)

This workout video, is very unlike traditional videos in that it's hard to follow. Most workout videos has the instructor verbally walking you through the steps as they're doing it and also adjusts their movements so it's easy to follow, such as when they ask you to turn right, they're actually turning left since you're facing them and your right side is their left side. This video is not like that at all. The video is narrated by voice overs and when they say turn right, they're actually turning right, so it makes it confusing because your eyes are watching them turn to your left. Plus since the instructor is doing voice over narrating, it doesn't always correspond with the movements. There are numerous times when the verbal instructions tells you to get up, but the people on the screen are still sitting down, so the flow of it is confusing making it hard to relax and follow.

In the end, after doing the first 30 minutes of it, I was bored and frustrated because I focused more on trying to follow the motions on screen than actually relaxing and doing the yoga poses right, especially when the narration is off.

The pro about this video is that it does offer a good stretch and the stretches itself are relaxing when you can get it right. I would probably look for an easier to follow video, especially when it comes to yoga and relaxation is part of the workout, not frustration and spending most of your time trying to figure out what they really want you to do.
