Loving these yoga episodes! Second trimester and full time working mom and these 10-11 minute workouts are perfect!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and recently fell from a chair. I've been experiencing non-stop pain in the buttocks, thighs and legs since then that I could not even walk without a limp. I've had regular therapy massages in the past three days but the pain hasn't alleviated. Forced myself to do follow the poses in this 10-minute clip and I could already feel the difference. Thank you, thank you so much Katy!

You're my favorite prenatal Yoga instructor! You explain the moves very well. I'm a FTM at 29 weeks + 1 day pregnant and I just started working out to your videos this week. I'm a preschool teacher who also works with school-age children and I wish I would've started these videos months ago. I'm usually a treadmill runner and weight-lifter but because I want to be gentler to my body, I decided to switch over to low-impact exercises. Actually, before I begin your workouts, I use my Gideon Portable Shiatsu Massage Pillow all along my back, do some light arm, torso and leg stretches and then I do your workouts. Thank you again for the amazing workouts <3

I am 15 weeks pregnant. For over a year now I have not been able to exercise due to serious health problems. I am using these yoga videos as my back-to-business routines. I'm planning on a natural birth and my body is in need of repair and strengthening. These routines are actually quite the work out for me, yet gentle enough that I have no problem sticking through to the end. Thank you for sharing these routines with us!

Thank you for the explanations you give as to what is happening inside our bodies during certain trimesters, as well as during the poses. It helps me to understand my limits! THANK YOU

Thank you so much for these videos! I live in a town without any antenatal yoga classes, and these workouts have made such a difference - I already feel more centred and stronger! First time mom, 17 weeks tomorrow, and so grateful!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I just did Episode 1 & 2 of your pregnancy workout. I feel sooo much better, I feel like all my back muscles just loosened up. I'm planning on doing these every day for an easier delivery. 

[TheChevyshaya]

I"m not pregnant but I'm really enjoying these videos and saving them for when I am. Love the way you teach

I've been having pretty bad back and hip pain at night along with pregnancy insomnia. I did episodes 1 and 2 yesterday. I slept like a baby last night and didn't experience a single ounce a pain! Thank you for this series. 

[AngelicSetsuna]

I have looked through a lot of prenatal yoga videos and I have to say that I love yours the most. I feel comfortable enough doing all the poses and I love how you talk me through them so I know that I'm doing it right. Plus, I always feel great after a couple of your episodes!

[jeanniealbert]

LOVE IT!!! Wow first time mom, first time yog'er and this is great. My body was tense from first trimester pains. This is perfect. Like the short lenght.  Thank you Katy Appleton. 

[melissadayley]

I am going to echo what other people have shared. These videos really help with my achy back. I'm grateful to have found them. I plan on using them several times every day. Thanks!

[tweinster]

I love these videos so far! I am in my 19th week and have been struggling to get back into working out since I had a rough first trimester. I used to do a lot of yoga before pregnancy and I am relieved to find something that will help me transition back into my yoga routine. Thank you body talk.

[ALittleBitBiscardi]

Loving these videos!!!! I was very big into pilates and yoga before I was pregnant and always thought I would continue while pregnant unfortunately my 1st trimester ( I even worked at a Barre studio) i couldn't do classes longer than 10 minutes w/o getting extremely fatigued and nauseous, my 2nd trimester I was out of the rhythm and didn't have A LOT of energy, plus too much psychical activity like long walks would give me Braxton Hicks and then my 3rd trimester.. I ended up getting a kidney infection and sinus infection. Now at 38 weeks I FINALLY have the energy and drive to do some yoga. And these moves are PERFECT for me, I am familiar with them, but they are perfect for getting my body back into the rhythm and just long enough that I feel the improvement w/o feeling tired and beaten. I even plan on use Episode 1 while in labor.
