In order to get a more accurate review on the Element Postnatal yoga routine I asked my sister (who now has an adorable baby) to try it out after waiting at least 6 weeks after birth. Below you can see her thoughts, as well as a link to Amazon.com where you can purchase the DVD if you are interested. This DVD also includes a prenatal routine which has also been
reviewed on my blog.
"The pace is good and the instructor's voice is soothing and informative.
The
routine is a little punishing to start with after months of
no/low-activity; I was shaking by the end. The routine is also a little
long at 36 minutes; I had to skip the ending shavasana because the baby
woke up. A 20-minute routine would have been preferable, though the
length probably isn't an issue for most people. I noticed that the
narration was opposite from the demonstration sometimes - ie, the
narration would say to step your right foot back but the visual
demonstration showed the left foot back instead. I don't know if they
were going for a mirror-effect, but it put me off a few times. Just a
little thing, but it bothered my OCD mind. Overall a good routine that
will build strength over time. However, I might opt for something
gentler until my muscles get back into the swing of things."
Thank you Krysta for your thoughts on this workout!
