What the prenatal classes are
Most of the prenatal classes in Zurich are yoga or Pilates, and most sit in the evening. Move Yoga Studio in Altstetten offers prenatal yoga in a flowing style, and each session draws on knowledge about pregnancy, birth and the weeks after. Pilates Stube GmbH in the Gewerbeschule area offers prenatal Pilates, designed around pregnancy and practiced on the mat in small groups.
A smaller share of the classes focuses on core and pelvic floor work, and some sessions are more restorative. Yoga Nest Zentrum in Rathaus offers a restorative class that combines deep rest with yoga nidra, a guided practice of lying still and listening inward. Its 75 minute sessions are taught in English.
When and in what language
Most prenatal classes begin between 4:30pm and 7:30pm, and the busiest start times are 7:30pm, 4:30pm and 6pm. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are the days when most of the sessions run. There are no prenatal classes in the mornings, at midday or on weekends in this listing, so the choice is focused on the working week.
The classes are taught in English for the most part, with a smaller number in German. Pilates Stube GmbH and Move Yoga Studio describe their sessions in both languages, which makes it easier to follow the format before you attend.
Where to start
A good first step is to look at the classes marked for first class ever or for all levels, since these make up a substantial share of the options. Prenatal Pilates in small groups is a clear place to start for someone who is new to the practice. Check the description for each class to see how it is taught and who leads it, since the facilitators here include Kasia Lipnicka, Christina, Constantina, Dina and Rahel D/E.
You book each class directly with the studio, as none of these sessions can be taken with a pass.
