The New Method: Baby and Mom: Postnatal Yoga description Los Angeles yoga guru Gurmukh Khalsa guides 15 new moms and their babies through 30 minutes of yoga stretches and poses, a joyful two-minute baby dance, a brief bout of baby yoga, and about 10 minutes of rest and visualization in this post-baby installment of "The Method" series of exercise tapes. The white-turbaned instructor starts with a brief talk about childbirth, yogic breathing, and a recommendation to "reclaim" one's navel. Viewers join her at the live taping of a class in a large room with Greek columns, roses, and a chamber quintet. Since it's not edited, babies cry and fuss. This adds a realistic element of chaos to the tape, which the more traditional voice-over instruction ignores. Khalsa specializes in the Kundalini method, and in this tape she concentrates on slow stretches with a lot of abdominal work. The infants are included in some, as when the women roll back and forth with babies on their bellies or do "mama pushups" over the little ones. But once they are old enough to crawl, these exercises get difficult--as one baby repeatedly demonstrates. The infants are also incorporated in a cobra/triangle series, a set of Kegels, and are even used as weights. Then it's their turn with some baby stretches of their own. Finally, the moms are invited to lie down with their offspring for the rest and relaxation finale--although, predictably, some babies do neither. The 50-minute tape provides plenty of good ideas for moms who want to do yoga with their babies--or even on their own. --Kimberly Heinrichs |

| I took prenatal yoga at a studio through my entire pregnancy. It was the greatest thing ever and prepared me for a beautiful easy labor and birth. This on the other hand was a waste of money. I wanted something to do with my child along the same lines as when she was in the womb. The instructor on the video was incredibly annoying. I have had spiritual yoga teachers with very relaxed voices before, but she must have been hitting the hooka with Mary Jane if you know what I mean. Also, her style of yoga was more about repetitive movement versus breathing through your pose and letting breath bring you to your goal. If you have taken a yoga class before, you may not enjoy this at all. If you don't like people who talk like they are high, you may not enjoy this video either. | |
