Yoga for Moms and Moms-to-Be

The ACE office has been teeming with babies of late, here, pregnant and new mothers have become as commonplace as personal trainers and group fitness instructors.

So when two new yoga tapes came to our attention - one for pregnant women, the other for moms and new babies - there was no shortage of volunteers to try them out.

From the makers of Precision Toning and Precision Sculpting, two Pilates-based floor workouts, The Method Baby & Mom Pre-Natal Yoga and Post-Natal Yoga videos address the specific physical and emotional needs of expecting and new mothers.

The pre-natal tape focuses on building strength while teaching relaxation techniques that may aid childbirth. The post-natal tape also focuses on strength and flexibility while reinforcing the bond between mother and child.

Each tape runs under an hour and is widely available at retail outlets. Priced at $12.95 or less, these two tapes are part of a quality series of Pilates- and yoga-based workouts marketed under ''The Method'' banner.

Consumers may order a free catalog from the company by calling 800-272-4214.
