Reviewed by yoga teacher and former midwife Wendy Coe

This DVD is a comprehensive, informative home-based practice of yoga in pregnancy. However from looking at the cover, I would not have bought it as I am cynical about anyone who claims to be a teacher.

However, on watching the DVD I was happily proved wrong. Zoe has three small children herself and another on the way.  She covers all the bases and she is fully trained yoga teacher.

My only criticism is that this is not a beginners’ DVD. The yoga practice is aimed at a level where prior knowledge would be needed. Zoe does speak at the beginning about the need for a teacher and this in conjunction with the DVD would be a good package. The problem with many yoga in pregnancy DVDs is that they are too basic. Not this one. I would teach this to my class or loan it to one of my regular practitioners, but I would not recommend it for a beginner for sole use at home.


Have you seen this DVD? What did you think?
