Baby's Breath Prenatal Yoga - Calgary

Irena's energy, knowledge and personality make this class so enjoyable and relaxing - at the same time strengthening all the right muscles in preparation for delivery! It's a smaller class size which creates a comfortable and open space and allows you to get to know the instructor and the other pregnant mamas in the class! I thoroughly look forward to her classes and highly recommend!

Irena has made this experience so wonderful and calming for me as a first time mom. I highly recommend this studio for prenatal yoga, Irena is very knowledgeable, kind, and has very positive calming energy.

I took Irena’s online prenatal yoga classes via zoom and absolutely loved them. I’ve done several different prenatal yoga classes in Calgary and these were by far the best. Irena shares a good balance of need to know info for labour and delivery as well as a wonderful yoga class that is suitable for all yoga levels and stages of pregnancy. I especially love the music she chose for each class. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love attending Irena's prenatal yoga classes. I look forward to them each week. I had little to no yoga experience when I started attending classes in my second trimester. No experience was necessary. Irena leads you through each position without assuming any knowledge of yoga terms. She also encourages everyone to take things at their own pace and often provides options for both easier and harder equivalents of the same stretch/pose. I really enjoy the small group setting of each class and the fact that classes are entirely prenatal. This provides an opportunity to meet and interact with other mothers in an intimate setting. Irena's experience as a labour and delivery nurse truly enhances the experience. Classes I have been to typically begin with a discussion of a prenatal topic before the actual yoga begins. Then, as you move through your yoga poses, Irena draws parallels between the mindset of maintaining harder poses and managing contractions, and identifies more comfortable labour and birth positions. We finish each class in a relax position. Not only is this calming, I always feel by this point in the class that the muscle aches and strains I walked in with have been removed to the point where I could almost fall into a peaceful sleep on my yoga mat. I leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Lastly, Irena offers a 6:30 pm class time, which accommodates my work schedule perfectly. The ONLY downside to Irena's classes for me is the commute, which really isn't a criticism, but more a wish that Irena had multiple locations in Calgary, with one closer to my home. I can't recommend Irena's prenatal yoga classes enough!

I am so happy I found this class! I didn't start until I was 31 weeks pregnant and went until 39 weeks. I haven't done yoga for 20 years but Irena is a very patient and enthusiastic teacher. The class was a great excuse to get out of the house, disconnect for an hour and meet some new people! Not only was it an amazing yoga experience, the amount of knowledge she has to provide is priceless! I'm going to miss the classes but I know I am more than ready for what's next because of them!!!

I've started with Irene's classes at 17 weeks and loving every minute of it. Irene's classes are more than just a beautiful yoga practice she brings a lot of knowledge and experience from being a labour and delivery nurse. I've learned a lot about how to safely move and honour my body in the different stages of pregnancy and feel much more prepared for what is to come. So grateful to have found her as a teacher and also meet other women to connect with. She is patient and patio ate about babies and yoga and always makes the time to chat and answer questions.

Such a wonderful experience! All expecting mommies should sign up for a prenatal yoga class, you won’t regret it! I have taken both private sessions as well as group classes, and I absolutely love every moment. It’s relaxing and energizing at the same time! This was my first in person yoga experience, and it was very easy to follow along. Irena is just an amazing and calming instructor. I’m so thankful I found Baby’s Breath Prenatal Yoga, it’s made such a positive impact on my pregnancy. I’m so excited to meet my little one, but I’ll miss these classes so much ❤️

This is hands down the best yoga class I have ever taken. The practice always leaves me and my growing baby feeling so grounded and in sync. Irena is a wonderful and knowledgeable person. She has had such a positive impact on my pregnancy thus far. It's more than a yoga class; she creates a sense of community and comfort that I really needed throughout this journey. Highly recommend for every expecting mama!
