Guests will enjoy a signature Wave Length class, Wave’s first-ever mat class dedicated entirely to recovery. This transformative group session is designed to help you recharge, repair, and feel your best. Experience a thoughtfully sequenced series of full-body stretches, performed on Wave’s cutting-edge PEMF Infrared mats, each packed with advanced wellness technology. Tailor the settings to your specific needs, as the mats deliver a powerful combination of pulsed electromagnetic frequencies, soothing infrared heat, and negative ions.
The class is designed to restore muscle and speed up recovery, ease tension and prevent injury, improve circulation and reboot cellular function, and calm the nervous system while balancing brain waves.
WAVE Wellness, based in Sag Harbor and Southampton Village, offers a range of fitness and wellness services, complemented by a strong sense of community. Co-founders Stephanie Esposito and Lisa Zaloga have created a unique space where wellness goes beyond traditional treatments, combining physical and emotional care with social connection.
“WAVE was born from a shared passion between Lisa and I to create a space where true healing could happen — physically, emotionally, and energetically. With our combined backgrounds in wellness, design, and healing modalities, we saw an opportunity to build something deeply intentional,” said Stephanie.
Following the class, guests will enjoy a discussion with Stephanie Esposito and Lisa Zaloga of WAVE Wellness, Amanda Duckstein of Shadowbox Pilates, and Andrea Fornarola of Elements Fitness Studio, moderated by Vanessa Steil.

“ShadowBox Pilates’ philosophy is to practice movement in a way that empowers us to be our most authentic selves and to dig deep to honor our own self-confidence. We learn to be the greatest source of magic in our life, which transcends through movement and the mind’s connection to the body. I want my students to feel strong in their bodies, confident in their souls, and believe that they can do anything. Over the years, so many of my students have inspired me to be a better teacher, so I want to inspire them to be the best version of themselves,” said Amanda.

“I was inspired to start a client-focused studio after working for many years in the fitness and dance Industry. In the early 2000s, the boutique industry was just starting to boom, and I was working a lot in the New York City area and felt the city needed more client-driven studio experience, fostering a deeper connection between client and trainer,” said Andrea. “Our classes are based on our signature Elements Formula, which is a combination of yoga stretches, Pilates core work, and ballet conditioning. We use a special formula based on musical phrasing that groups these exercises together to transform the body. Our classes are intimate and client-focused.”
