About Ember Pilates
​
Ember Pilates was created with a simple belief: movement should be something you look forward to.
​
Located in Vancouver, Washington, Ember is a welcoming, community-focused Pilates studio designed to help you feel stronger, more connected, and more confident in your body.
Our classes blend intentional Pilates movement with strength, sculpt, and a little bit of spice — always with thoughtful instruction and options designed to meet you where you are.
​
Whether you're brand new to Pilates or have been practicing for years, there's a place for you here. We believe movement can be challenging without feeling intimidating, and that some of the best things happen when you take 50 minutes to step away from the chaos of life and reconnect with yourself.

Come move with us. We can't wait to have you in the studio 💗
What is Pilates?
Mat Pilates is a series of bodyweight movements that focus on mobility, balance, and strength. As a low impact movement method, Pilates is perfect for all levels. Pilates focuses on movements that we don't get in our day to day activities, such as spinal mobility and core strength. These exercises will help you to move more comfortably in your life.
Ember Pilates class formats:
Beginner mat Pilates
Our beginner mat Pilates class is our Classical mat flow. Based in the movement principals from Joseph Pilates himself, this class focuses on core stability, spinal mobility, and more! Perfect for all levels, from novice to expert.
Mat Pilates
Our Mat Pilates class uses small apparatus to deepen your practice. We’ll use items like mini-balls, resistance bands, magic circles, light weights, and foam rollers.
