Studio in Details
Overview
Entrée Dans La Vie has been offering prenatal yoga in the Québec area since 2001. Founded by Julie Roberge, a certified special educator and mother of three, the studio focuses on supporting women through pregnancy and childbirth using gentle exercises, breathing techniques, and relaxation. The philosophy centers on fostering openness, letting go, and building confidence for a smoother delivery. While prenatal yoga is the core specialty, the studio also provides classes for parents, grandparents, babies, children, and daycares, making it a versatile resource for families in the region.
The approach is informed by methods from Dr. Bernadette de Gasquet and Julie Bonapache, emphasizing perineal protection and partner involvement. Classes are held in a small, intimate group setting at the studio in Lévis, creating a supportive environment where expectant mothers can connect and prepare together.
Classes and Services
The signature prenatal yoga class lasts 2.5 hours and is divided into three segments: 60 minutes of birth position practice, 60 minutes of childbirth preparation, and 30 minutes of massage, relaxation, and yoga. Partners are actively included, especially in the third session, where they learn acupressure points, massage techniques, and breathing exercises to support the mother during labor. The Bonapache method is a key component, helping couples reduce stress and build harmony throughout pregnancy.
In addition to prenatal yoga, Entrée Dans La Vie offers baby massage classes, parent-child yoga, children’s yoga, and programs for daycares. Julie Roberge regularly visits schools and daycares in Québec to introduce yoga to young children. Props such as gym balls, relaxation cushions, and mats are provided, and the studio accommodates flexible scheduling for private sessions, including summer availability.

She adapts classes to individual needs, takes time to answer questions, and provides printed handouts for home practice. The small group size fosters a sense of community among expectant mothers, who often form supportive friendships. Partners appreciate being included and find the techniques helpful for feeling connected to the pregnancy journey.
For families with young children, Julie’s daycare sessions are a highlight—children engage with yoga through games and poses, and staff note lasting positive effects on vocabulary and body awareness. The overall atmosphere is described as positive, respectful, and attuned to each participant’s wishes, making Entrée Dans La Vie a trusted resource for prenatal and family wellness in Québec.
