“I SWEAR that it has to be your class that has made this pregnancy so different from the other two. I gained only 20 pounds (which is only a little less than the other two…25 lbs with Lexi and 28 with Russell) but I could totally tell a difference in the way my body looked. My stomach was smaller for some reason and it’s only been a week but my stomach has retracted A LOT compared to the other two pregnancies. When I left the hospital, my stomach had already gotten a lot smaller. I remember that I still looked totally pregnant when I left the hospital with the other two kids.” Victoria R.

Short and Effective, Amazon review of Sara Holliday’s Prenatal Yoga DVD May 8, 2007 By Whitedimond (Germfask, Michigan United States) - I love this DVD because I can do it in the morning before work. It’s short enough and easy enough to do at 5:30 AM. I would not advise doing this DVD while pregnant with a full stomach. That’s why I prefer this in the morning on an empty stomach.

“I just wanted to let you know that I am coming to the end of my second trimester of pregnancy and have been doing your prenatal yoga DVDs and they are SO wonderful! I LOVE them and tell every one of my pregnant friends about them! I am very particular about my work outs and sometimes skeptical of home work out videos but you have made me a believer! They have really helped with all of the stretching and changing that my body is doing. I knew my belly was going to be growing but I didn’t realize all the aches and pains that it would create and your second trimester video targets ALL of the places that have been hurting and just need a good stretch. My mind and body feel so good and so calm each time I finish one and I really feel like I got a great workout!! I just wanted to thank you; these have really helped with all of the new changes and with the worry of keeping my body in shape during pregnancy. I am determined to be a postnatal success story of yours.”  Janelle Edwards

Sara’s Fit Mamma’s class has rekindled my love and ambition for fitness and
exercising.  After having my daughter, who is now 4, it was very difficult
to make the time for myself or to motivate myself to exercise because I had
been out of the fitness groove for so long.  Then I met another mom at my
daughter’s school who trains with the Fit Mamma’s.  A few weeks later I
finally made it to Sara’s class.  I felt so energized and rejuvenated and I
could not wait to go to her next class!  Sara is very professional in the
way she instructs each person on doing the exercises correctly and to focus
on the particular group of muscles we are using.  The results I have seen
are so satisfying. In just a week even my family was commenting on the
definition in my arms and legs.  As well, my state of mind is more grounded
after each class.

Yours truly,

Hi Sara–I just found you when I was going insane and had to order some yoga videos to keep me from banging my head against a wall…:) See, I just finished Ironman Wisconsin in September 2006, and have been used to training and racing for 5 years. I am pregnant with my first child, and had a rough time with nausea in the first trimester. I just tried your 2nd trimester yoga video and it made me feel so much better…like an athlete again! I\’m going to check out your podcasts, and just listened to you on the Pregtastic podcast. So, I’m a big fan and just wanted to say thanks for making this Ironman/future Ironmom feel better about all these changes going on right now! Sara Ziemnick
