Studio City, CA (The Hollywood Times) 1/17/26 – The Hollywood Times enjoyed a refreshing and thoughtfully curated evening at ARTHA Wellness Sanctuary’s New Year Wellness Open House, attending with two of our reporters for a night that beautifully balanced community, celebration, and self-care.
Hosted on Friday evening, January 16, 2026, the event welcomed more than 300 guests, including ARTHA members and their friends, new members, wellness enthusiasts, wellness professionals, VIPs, creators, influencers, and yoga and meditation specialists. Among those in attendance were Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay and Brock Davies, The Valley’s Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez, and influencers such as Nikolai Spesivtsev, Austin Pepito, Aaron Fuller, model Mila Marandi, and actor Javi Luna, among many others, all coming together for an evening rooted in connection and intention.
From the moment guests arrived, they were welcomed into ARTHA’s luxurious, two-floor Studio City sanctuary on Ventura Boulevard, a tranquil, design-forward space that immediately set the tone for relaxation and renewal. With music by Alexis Noelle setting a warm, inviting vibe, attendees enjoyed an abundant food, beverage, and wellness experience that felt elevated yet approachable.
Highlights included a lavish charcuterie, formaggi, antipasto, and Italian delicacy spread from Eataly, a premium tasting bar from El Cristiano Tequila, and a Voss Water hydration station featuring fresh fruit infusions. Beverage offerings were rounded out with a white wine selection from Malibu Rocky Oaks Vineyards, adding an elegant coastal touch to the evening.
Wellness sampling was equally robust and thoughtfully curated. Guests explored HOLY!Water, a functional mushroom, mood-boosting metabolic beverage available in four flavors; Sunny Within’s supremely absorbable liposomal supplements powered by organic avocado oil and designed to support cellular longevity; and SOULA Liposomal Colostrum, formulated to naturally support immunity, gut health, and energy. BodyHealth featured PerfectAmino®, formulated for up to 99% utilization to help build lean muscle, boost performance, and accelerate recovery without added caloric impact. Guests also enjoyed SkinnyDipped GMO-free snacks, including Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Almond Bites, along with a Rabbit Foods popsicle cart serving fresh pops made with organic fruits and vegetables, delivering ice-cream taste with smoothie-level nutrition.
The Mindful Company was also on hand, featuring custom yoga and meditation mats with inspiring affirmations such as Play Like a Champion Today, Relax & Breathe, and Eat, Move, Meditate, adding a personal and intentional takeaway for guests.
A standout highlight was the immersive tour of the facility, including the opportunity to experience a three-minute session in ARTHA’s popular cryotherapy chamber, an invigorating introduction to the sanctuary’s blend of cutting-edge wellness technology and mindful practice. The studio tours offered an impressive look at the full spectrum of services, from yoga and Pilates to infrared sauna, cold plunge, contrast therapy, red-light therapy, and more.
At the heart of the evening was a clear intention: connection. The ARTHA team shared that the purpose of the event was to open their doors to the local wellness community and introduce the sanctuary to neighbors in both Studio City and West Los Angeles. They also emphasized their desire to show appreciation to long-standing members who have been active participants in the sanctuary since its early days.
In addition, the guest list included individuals actively shaping the wellness conversation online, invited to experience ARTHA firsthand and help organically spread the word if inspired.
The yoga studio, transformed into a lively event space for the evening, showcased a thoughtfully curated selection of wellness-focused partners. Each brand reflected ARTHA’s holistic philosophy and commitment to mindful living, with vendors selected specifically for creating products that are natural, progressive, and healthy for both the body and the environment.
Together, the experience reinforced ARTHA’s mission to create a welcoming, community-centered wellness sanctuary, one that blends modern technology, mindful practices, and meaningful human connection.
