<p>After combing through <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/NiceVancouver/comments/1hk6csr/rave_to_me_your_favourite_fitness_classes_in_the/" target="_blank">Reddit threads</a> where locals raved about their favourite studios, we rounded up some of Vancouver’s most-loved pilates spots, from heated Lagree sessions to candlelit mat classes.</p>

<p>For those who crave a pilates experience that’s as grounding as it is strengthening, Jaybird blends reformer and mat classes with music, mood lighting, and breathwork for a &#8220;full mind-body reset&#8221; according to the <a href="https://www.jaybirdjaybird.com/book-vancouver" target="_blank">website.</a></p>
<p>The studio operates in infrared-heated, mirror-free rooms with low lighting and loud music, which it says helps participants “disconnect from distraction” and “shift focus to feeling good in their own skin,&#8221; reads the website.</p>
<p>The infrared environment “heats your body from the inside out,” which the studio claims can boost the immune system, purify skin, and aid in muscle recovery.</p>
