<p>Pilates has been the soft-girl workout of the past few years — and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. But 2026 is turning up the heat, pairing those slow, sculpting moves with a steamy new sidekick: the sauna. Move over hot yoga, the stretch-and-sweat combo is the wellness ritual everyone’s talking about. In fact, rumour has it nights out are being swapped for reformer classes followed by a blissed-out sauna session. From countryside studios to wild waterfront saunas, we’ve rounded up the best spots across Suffolk and Cambs to lengthen, loosen and glow. You’re welcome.</p>
