Bethesda, MD (ContentDesk) October 25, 2005 — bodywisdom media, one of the largest independent producers of innovative fitness workout DVDs, announced the release of “Prenatal Yoga Complete,” a revolutionary new DVD that will forever change the way people think about and use prenatal DVDs. Over two and half years in the making, bodywisdom media applied its groundbreaking technology and design to significantly raise the bar of what mom’s-to-be can expect from workout DVDs. “Prenatal Yoga Complete” is now available in retail stores throughout the US and Canada and also through www.bodywisdommedia.com at a suggested retail price of $19.95.Up until now, prenatal yoga DVDs have traditionally featured a single 30-45 minute workout. This offering is inadequate when you consider the frequent rollercoaster ride of mental, emotional, and physical changes women experience during the course of pregnancy. A single routine on a prenatal DVD cannot satisfy the ever-changing needs of a pregnant woman day-to-day and trimester-to-trimester.
