Wellness & Waves

Few places beat the Santa Monica Pier for a Saturday-morning workout, and Wellness & Waves makes it free. The Santa Monica Pier Corporation's outdoor wellness series, presented by UCLA Health, wraps up its 2026 season this month, so there are only a couple of chances left to join in.

Mornings kick off at 8:00 AM with a guided group run of 1, 2 or 3 miles that meets under the Santa Monica Yacht Harbor sign. At 9:00 AM, the fun moves to the west end of the Pier for a yoga class led by shefayoga Venice or a mat Pilates class from Good Body Pilates. Staff will even carry your yoga mat down to the end of the Pier if you are doing both.

All fitness levels are welcome, including total beginners, which makes this an easy way for teens and active kids to move alongside mom or dad. Bring a mat, a towel and a water bottle, and plan to linger afterward for pier treats and ocean views.
