Bend, Breathe, and Conceive: Fertility Yoga with Anna Davis, Ph.D., RYT Review
I have "Yoga 4 Fertility" by Brenda Strong as well as "Bend, Breathe, and Conceive" by Anna Davis. Both are good but this one is my favorite. There are lots of forward bends and downward facing dog in both videos but this one has more warrior and triangle poses and other things that add more variety. The narration is terrific, making it easy to follow and the background music is pleasant and subtle. The relaxation at the end is wonderful and you're definitely not shortchanged like in other DVDs. She takes her time and walks you through 3 different relaxation poses - 2 of which are inverted, using the wall to prop you up. Just a note that you'll need some props for this exercise: block, strap and blankets. You could probably do it without the block if you're really flexible but the other 2 are essential for the relaxation poses at the end. I feel stronger and more relaxed when I finish this DVD and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Great DVD! Relaxing. - K. Woodruff -
Great DVD, perfect for anyone who wants some simple relaxing yoga. I haven't done yoga for a few months and her poses were a bit challenging at first, but felt great! I recommend this DVD to anyone looking to relieve some stress with yoga
Disappointing-Don't waste your money - Cassy - Chicago, IL
Don't waste your money. After using this video, I was more stressed than when I began. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers when they say this video is lacking. It really is hard to define what exactly it is about this video but it did nothing for me. Maybe it is because the instructor is just going through these uninspiring motions. I think she is trying hard but comes across stiff and almost military-like. No thanks.
not for beginners - Ivan's Dad -
Not for beginners. Breathing techniques are not easy to grasp. Progression of exercises, poses is very quick. Hard to follow when your head is down, and the guide is already on to the next move. However inspires huge respect for major
pregnant ladies who make me look like a sad sack.
