Activities for pregnant women

Stockholmsgata 8, 0566 Oslo

Pregnancy yoga, pregnancy strength training and reformer pilates for expecting mothers, at the corner of Stockholmsgata and Malmøgata. Run by OsloKvinneHelse, the studio also offers a birth preparation course for couples, so your partner can join for the final part. The same place runs postpartum groups once the baby arrives.

Karoline Kristiansens vei 4, 0661 Oslo

The widest range of pregnancy classes in the city in one place: pregnancy yoga, strength training, pilates and training in a warm pool. They also run a dedicated programme for pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain, which is hard to find elsewhere. The yoga suits you from week 12 onwards.

Helgesens gate 17, 0553 Oslo

Yoga adapted to your body throughout pregnancy, in a dedicated studio just off Thorvald Meyers gate. MamaYoga also runs a birth preparation course over four sessions that you attend alone, plus a final session where a partner or other birth companion can join.

Kristiansands gate 2, 0463 Oslo

The same gentle pregnancy yoga as at Grünerløkka, but in the studio at Sagene Samfunnshus. Handy if you live in the northern part of the city. The same building houses Nazar, one of the most child friendly cafés in the area once your baby has arrived.

Vækerøveien 205, 0751 Oslo

Pregnancy yoga and midwife led birth preparation courses in the western part of the city. The courses combine practical birth preparation with knowledge about the body during pregnancy. The centre has free parking, and offers small group postpartum training after birth.

Birch-Reichenwalds gate 25, 0483 Oslo

A small, intimate yoga studio at the top of Torshov, running a "pregnancy yoga and strength" course. They hold courses year round with regular start dates, so you rarely have to wait long for the next intake. The studio also runs mother and baby courses afterwards.

Rosenborggata 9A, 0356 Oslo

Pregnancy yoga with birth preparation in green surroundings on Rosenborggata, close to Bogstadveien. The centre runs ongoing courses and continues with postpartum yoga and baby massage once your baby is around six weeks old, so you can stay in the same place throughout.

Motzfeldts gate 26, 0561 Oslo

Pregnancy yoga focused on breathing and deep relaxation, alongside poses that strengthen the back and legs. Many find the breathing techniques they learn here carry over into labour itself. Courses run on Tuesday afternoons over five to seven sessions, and are also available online.

Stallerudveien 103, 0693 Oslo

Pregnancy yoga led by a physiotherapist certified in medical yoga, at Bogerud Torg. The course runs over five weeks with 90 minute sessions, teaching techniques you can use before, during and after birth. One of the few options in the eastern part of the city.

Harbitz Torg Bad, Harbitzalléen 2A, 0275 Oslo

Pool training for pregnant women in warm water, at moderate intensity, with an instructor demonstrating from the poolside. The weightlessness puts little strain on your skeleton, making this a good option if you have back or pelvic pain. If your pregnancy is healthy you can take part until roughly two weeks before your due date.

Kaj Munks vei 41, Tåsen Senter, 0876 Oslo

Pregnancy training led by physiotherapists with further education in women's health, at Tåsen Senter. Each session combines strength work with practical advice for pregnancy. Note that courses are set up on demand rather than every semester, so get in touch to hear when the next one starts.

St. Olavs gate 25, 0166 Oslo

Water aerobics to music in a pool of around 32 degrees, right by St. Olavs plass. This is not a dedicated pregnancy course, but a regular class they themselves recommend for pregnant women and for anyone with pelvic girdle pain. New courses start in week 33 and run to the end of the year.
