Good balance of compassion, relevance, for women and men by Caro (SF Bay Area, CA)  5 Stars
September 30, 2009
I got this along with Yoga 4 Fertility from Brenda Strong. I slightly prefer the format of this one. There is a class with 2 men and 4 women in a bright, sunlit room. One of the instructors demonstrates the poses while the other stands in front of the class to lead and give form pointers. In addition to the main 45 min practice, there are several additional sections in the main menu like pranayama breathing, restorative poses, meditation and visualization. I also like that they have extra music at the end during savasana so you can lie there as long as you like. The routine is gentle but does the job of making me feel limber and relaxed. Once in a while the instructor will point out how a pose is good for fertility or letting go of stress. They also mention at the beginning that it's safe for all stages of fertility treatment. Although my husband didn't get a chance to do this with me, I like that it's geared toward both sexes so he could have done it without feeling like he's doing a women's fertility practice. This workout is good for all levels. The poses are challenging enough to be interesting for me (I've been doing yoga a few times a week for over 6 months), but they explain and demonstrate modifications, sometimes using a strap or block, and the participants are also at varying levels.
Sadly, our journey was cut short but I could see myself using this DVD every day for several weeks or months.

Great for relaxation by A. Patterson (Chicago, IL)  4 Stars
September 22, 2009
I have enjoyed using this DVD during my recent IVF cycles. It has helped me relax but I'm still not pregnant (not that that's the fault of the dvd). The techniques used are very easy to follow along with and do. I love the visualization technique section--super relaxing. Great dvd and highly recommend if you need help in the relaxing department.

Good, but not fantastic by ChiTownMysteryPerson 4 Stars
May 01, 2009
This video provides many useful tools including a 45 minute practice yoga workout, two meditation sections, and another relaxation poses section. However, there are no instructions as to when to use each sections or how often eash section should be used. (If you did all the sections every day, it wold run about 2 hours or more each day!) The quality of the video is good, but not fantastic. It is performed in their studio in Chicago, where you watch the instructors and various students perform the moves. The music that was added is a little distracting (not the typical new age music) and both of the instructors have sharp voices, so it is not particularly relaxing to listen to them. This is not in the same league as a Gaiam video as far as production.

Good combination between yoga poses and mental work by M. Galopin 5 Stars
March 03, 2009
I liked this yoga DVD because it is the closest you can get to a real yoga class. It not only has a very nice yoga practice, but also includes visualization, ways to make your mind calm, and to release your inner potential in the seek to get pregnant. Since fertility treatments are so demanding, one needs also to find something to remain calm while trying to get pregnant. I also liked that the producers were also former fertility patients. I enjoyed a lot this DVD and it is very complete.

Wonderfully gentle and powerful practice by Meredith B. Miller (Middletown, VA USA) 5 Stars
May 17, 2008
I bought this DVD to supplement my at home yoga practice. I found it to be very gentle and beneficial. The entire DVD is wonderful! There are several chapters on the DVD from breathing to Chakra healing. If you're looking for a yoga practice that will add peace and comfort to your life you must have this DVD! THANK YOU!
