The second annual Summer of Wellness, presented by the Southampton Hospital Foundation’s Vision Board, will return this June with Torch’d by Isaac Boots, yoga, tennis, and DanceBody.
The series of pop-up benefit wellness classes will launch with the iconic Torch’d by Issac Boots on Saturday, June 22, at 9:30 AM. Vision board member Lynn A. Scotti will host the event. Boots, a celebrity trainer, choreographer and Broadway dancer, will lead his iconic workout at the idyllic Wine Stand at Wölffer Estate Vineyard.
“Isaac has been an important part of my daily routine since Covid. It is such a great workout, Isaac’s energy is contagious and he makes me laugh every morning with his witty dialogue,” Scotti noted. “Raising money for the Southampton Hospital Foundation is so important to me and to the Hamptons community at large. The East Hampton location will literally be saving lives due to the traffic conditions during the summer season.”
Vision member and Wölffer Estate Vineyard co-owner Joey Wölffer added, “Supporting our community’s hospital is more than just a duty; it’s a vital investment in the health and well-being of our neighbors. Through initiatives like our Summer of Wellness series, we’re not just promoting fitness—we’re fostering a culture of care and empowerment that extends far beyond our vines.”
Yoga at Mecox will follow on Saturday, June 29, at 4 PM at Mecox Bay Dairy. David Marshall will lead “a juicy, farm fresh vinyasa to make the cows jealous.” Vision board member Haley Ludlow will host the event.

“Mecox Bay Dairy is delighted to once again host Yoga at Mecox on the farm to benefit Stony Brook Southampton Hospital! Providing essential emergency service when time is critical is a priority for our hospital, and as farmers, emergencies are inevitable. Five generations of our family have relied on the hospital,” Ludlow shared. “We continue to be grateful for, and comforted by, the fact that we have a world-class hospital so close to the farm. Join us as we toast another Summer of Wellness in support of our community Hospital.”
