Customer Reviews
it's not perfect but i really enjoy it, and suspect that it helps...
some of the reviews below sound so enthusiastic it makes me wonder if they are friends of the DVD's author. some of the reviews below seem overly harsh. I land somewhere in between, but closer to the positive side.
I like the flow of the poses. I've done challenging yoga in the past, but since then I've had injuries, so I needed a medium-level practice. this dvd fit my needs well, and I imagine if you are a beginner, as long as you aren't adverse to trying new things, you could make it work for you (she offers easier versions of some of the more difficult poses).
the biggest criticism i have was mentioned below: two poses are left out; they are done on one side but she skips them on the other. (The poses are bent-leg triangle and reverse triangle.) it's unfortunate that they didn't catch that problem. however, the fix is simple -- pause the DVD and do them on your own; you've already heard the instructions for the first side so it's pretty easy to do.
some people mentioned problems with her tone of voice but i had no problems with it. most of the yoga instructors i know have a vocal quality like that. she seemed very direct, straightforward, and gave me the info I needed to get the pose done.
what i really liked is that the series does seem well-tailored to fertility. as far as I can tell, it was not only relaxing in general, but really helped with blood flow and relaxation-energy to that area of the body. I rather liked the chanting -- it seemed to send vibrations right where you wanted them -- although i'm too embarrassed to do it if my husband is at home!
i haven't used the other fertility yoga dvd's so I can't compare. but i chose this one based on comparing amazon's customer reviews, and as far as I can tell so far, I made a good choice. I've only been using it 3 weeks, so it's too soon to tell if it has made a difference, fertility-wise. But it has really helped my relaxation and my attitude towards ttc, and I know that can only be good.
Love this DVD
My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and I found myself very stressed out about trying to conceive again. I loved Fertility Yoga video with Monica the first time I tried it, as it helped me find balance and relaxation. Yoga typically bores me, but this video has a lot of different poses and moves quickly enough to keep me engaged. I would highly recommend it for any woman.
This is a unique video. A grassroots effort made from the heart.
I have never written a review before but I had to post one here because I was really blown away by this fertility yoga video. I ordered it a couple of months ago and fell in love with it instantly. Monica has a dynamite fertility yoga session for women who are trying to get pregnant. She sets a really nice pace using women in her video that are all very different so that you can relate well to at least one of them. She gently leads through a sequence of traditional yoga poses that seem to be carefully sequenced to enhance fertility. I could actually feel a difference after the first time. I practiced this yoga regularly. I began to experience some unbelievable physical and emotional results. I became stronger and had some of the best cycles ever. I know that there aren't any silver bullets but I really believe that it was this fertility yoga tape that helped me become pregnant. All I know is that I was having all sorts of trouble getting pregnant before this yoga, then once I started doing this yoga I felt a real change in me - both physical and mental and now I am pregnant. So I believe that it really, really helped me. I think that here we have a qualified yoga instructor who is also a psychologist who also understands the condition of fertility. The net result is a very effective yoga therapy. I did try other yoga videos but they did not seem to work mostly because I felt like a guest in someone's house. With Monica's yoga, I felt completely comfortable and at home.
