Yacht Pilates will return to Marina del Rey on Saturday, Aug. 29, for a morning of fitness, dance, and wellness on the water.
The Yacht Pilates Dance Takeover & Wine Tasting will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at the California Yacht Club. The event is designed to bring women together for a workout while also offering opportunities to socialize and connect with others in the wellness community.
This month’s event will feature celebrity dancer Matthew Day, a backup dancer for Jennifer Lopez. Day will bring a dance element to the experience, adding to the event’s focus on movement and fitness.
Organizers have also added several perks for attendees. Each guest will receive a workout outfit valued at about $200 from Threads 4 Thought, a clothing brand focused on sustainability.
The morning will also include a wine tasting featuring selections from a Santa Barbara vineyard, giving guests a chance to socialize following the fitness portion of the event.
Tickets have been reduced to under $100 per person in an effort to make the event more accessible. Admission includes the Yacht Pilates experience, the workout outfit, and wine tasting, along with opportunities to meet other participants and connect with participating businesses and brands.
The event is intended to be more than a traditional workout class. By combining fitness, dance, apparel, wine and social activities, organizers hope to create an environment where participants can focus on wellness while building connections with others.
The Yacht Pilates event is part of a larger weekend focused on wellness and community.
On Friday, Aug. 28, organizers Aloni Ford, Christina Joy, and Ramona Resonance will host a free Beach Yoga & Sound Bath. About 100 women are expected to participate in the gathering, which will offer yoga and a sound bath at no cost.
Organizers created the free event as a way to give back to the community and make wellness activities available to women who may not otherwise have access to them.
The two events offer different experiences while sharing the same goal. Friday’s beach gathering focuses on accessible, community-based wellness, while Saturday’s Yacht Pilates event combines exercise with entertainment and social activities.
Together, the events are designed to give women a space to move, relax, meet new people, and make wellness a shared experience.
