Yoga vs. Prenatal Yoga

Are they the same thing??

Has anyone tried prenatal yoga?

My gym has regular yoga and I'd like to try prenatal yoga but would have to pay/go elsewhere for it so I want to find out first if it's just the same. I'd actually like to get a prenatal yoga or pilates DVD, so I'd love to hear any recommendations if you have any.

Thanks, moms!

PS I just went to the Dr today for the official word and I'm 5 weeks with an estimated due date of February 6th! The shock is wearing off and I'm very happy!!

i don't know for sure.... but i imagine that the poses are modified to accommodate a growing belly, and maybe even some poses that will help with relaxation during birth, working on your hip muscles, etc... and probably avoids poses that may be deemed 'dangerous' for a growing baby. that's just kind of my instinct on it. at 5 weeks, it's probably not such a big deal, but will be soon.
