I took one class a few weeks ago and it was really focused on stretching which I did not enjoy. I want to feel like I am working my muscles when I go to yoga or Pilates. A lot of the women there were in their third trimester so I think that was beneficial to them but I hated it. However, I think it really depends on the teacher. I would say try it out once to see if you like it.

I did two DVDs and loved it. I had awful sciatica and it helped soo much. I did one on neflix and the other was shiva rea. the first was really easy, which was great when my back really hurt and in my 3rd tri. The second was challenging and great for first and second tri. They both had people doing modified positions for those further along. I highly recommend it, You could just try the dvd at home tho if you didn't want to shell out the $$. But it would prob be a nice way to meet some other mamas!

I loved prenatal yoga when I was pregnant (this past fall). Mine was about half stretching, half strengthening poses for childbirth. I always felt so relaxed and centered and much, much calmer afterward. Find an instructor and style that suits you, and it will totally be worth it.

I love my prenatal yoga. i think a special class is good because many twists and moves are not good when you are pregnant. with all that relaxin in your body you are way more flexible and way more suseptible to injury.
