Why Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Who is Jennifer Wolfe?

What is Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga?
Whether you're a yoga veteran in search of an active yoga routine, or you're new to yoga, Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga gives you all the tools to make your pregnancy journey the best it can be. Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga is your support system leading to a more comfortable pregnancy, quicker and less painful labor, and a speedier postpartum recovery.

Jennifer Wolfe developed Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga during her own pregnancy when she realized that all styles of prenatal yoga offered, at the time, could not adequately prepare her physically and mentally for labor. She wanted a yoga practice that specifically served the needs of the pregnant woman: one that actively prepares women for the marathon event of childbirth, while helping women discover their power and inner strength needed during this transformative period in their lives.

Jennifer Wolfe found these empowering and strengthening qualities in the soft flow of Vinyasa Yoga. In her DVDs, she adapts Vinyasa Yoga for the unique needs of pregnant women, providing a system that works with your body without sacrificing the intensity necessary to prepare for childbirth. By learning to link your breath and movements in a constant flow, you'll increase your ability to work with your body during labor and childbirth, reducing the need for medications or other interventions; including a decrease in the need for C-sections.

Customer Reviews

Great workout for experienced expecting moms
Jennifer Wolfe is amazing. I love this dvd. I have taken so many prenatal classes and am always bored and feel like they are way too easy for me. I really worked up a sweat doing the 75 min practice and felt great after. I plan to do this workout throughout my pregnancy and know that it will help me stay in shape. Jennifer gives modifications depending on your trimester and walks you through the poses, but it helps to be familiar with the poses. It is definitely not for beginners, but for those of you who have been practicing for a while.

Great Prenatal Yoga for Already Practing Women!
I purchased the 2 DVD set because I was unsure if the original or short forms would be best for me. I really like both DVDs. They are perfect for women who have done some yoga before and are familiar with the basic poses. I would NOT recommend this for someone who is attempting prenatal yoga for the first time. The instructor gives some basic posture instructions but for the most part assumes you are already familiar with the poses. She does not explain in detail how to position your body. Also, the pace of the DVD is pretty quick, even challenging for me to keep up with at times. Before purchasing these DVDs I was attending prenatal yoga classes near my home 2 times per week. The addition of these DVDs let me increase my practice A LOT without having to take the hit of the expensive classes. I have definitely got my money out of them since I do the routines about 3 times per week. I really use the short forms DVD a lot more. It's hard to find time to do a 75 minute routine. I typically end up doing the 45 or 30 minute routine. If I had to buy them again, I probably would just buy the short forms... it's a great workout and long enough for me to feel the burn and get my heart rate up.

Great for regular practitioners
It seems that so many prenatal yoga DVDs are at the very, very beginner level. I was looking for something that would challenge me and help me keep my practice close to the pre-pregnancy level I'd worked so hard to reach. Jennifer Wolfe's 2 DVD set is fantastic. It's challenging but reasonable for the pregnant body. There are modifications for every level and she encourages you to find your own limit (your "edge"). And I love that I can choose the length of my practice for those (many) days when I can't commit to the longer program.

I just finished the 75 minute practice and I feel so much better than I have in days. I feel strong and flexible and it has relieved my back pain. I haven't tried the partner poses yet, but I'm looking forward to roping my partner into them!
