Multimedia Review 2

For my second multimedia review I chose to watch another yoga interview with a professional. I watched, "Prenatal Yoga Interview with Debra Geymayr" by Debra Geymayr. Debra Geymayr is a yoga instructor that specializes in helping those who are pregnant, so she teaches Prenatal plus yoga. In this interview she explains that she has been teaching for nine years now in south Florida, and that she was the first instructor to be able to teach the fourth trimester yoga class, which is called, happiest baby on the block. She works with pregnant people from as little as six weeks up to forty one weeks. Debra explains that this class is suppose to help you be able to connect your feelings, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. She says its very important to learn what the body goes through to give birth, so she teaches you breathing exercises and poses that will you help through the stress mentally and physically while giving birth without drugs or help. This class also prepares you to give birth at different options, which may be at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center. Debra also goes in to explain that "You wouldn't normally give a baby drugs after it is born, so why would you want to give it drugs during the labor process?" (3:47).

I loved this interview, mainly because it was a whole new side of yoga to me. It wasn't just about positions or becoming spiritual, it was about how you can help your baby and yourself during and after birth. Debra also seemed like she was a very down to earth person in the interview which made you believe that she was very relaxed the whole time. I liked that she was calm in the interview cause it made her seem very nourishing and knowing how to handle pregnant women. She also seemed to know what she was talking about when she started to talk about the fourth trimester of yoga. Overall, I liked this interview far better than the previous interview. This is probably just because it was a whole new side of yoga for me, and it wasn't something I had heard of before.
