In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Alo Moves, Alo Yoga’s holistic wellness platform, has announced the launch of a new series designed to support the gut-brain connection aiming to help users reset for better digestion, energy and mood. The 7 Days to Gut Health series joins Alo Moves’ library of more than 3,000 expert-led classes and fitness, yoga, Pilates and nutrition programs.

While the program is the first-of-its-kind for Alo Moves, Natasha Trindall, general manager of Alo Moves, said the 7 Days to Gut Health series is a natural extension of Alo’s mission and commitment to “providing wellness experiences that evolve with the needs of our community — spanning movement, mindfulness and deeper practices that nurture long-term well-being. Seven Days to Gut Health [is launching] during Mental Health Awareness Month to help our members feel more supported, more connected and more balanced — both physically and mentally.”

Led by Dr. Amy Shah, double board-certified physician and expert in gut and hormonal health, and Bianca Melas, licensed naturopath and Pilates instructor, 7 Days to Gut Health consists of a curated blend of mindful movement exercises and expert education with sustainable wellness routines that underscore Alo’s mission to foster intentional wellness. The program dives into how gut health impacts mood, stress and mental clarity with an approachable guide for resetting your microbiome in just one week.

Shah told WWD that she has seen that “so many people are struggling with stress, anxiety and low energy without realizing their gut could be the missing link.”

“This program was created to be both accessible and effective, combining simple, science-backed nutrition tips with movement and mindset practices that support the gut-brain connection,” Shah said. “During Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s a reminder that when you care for your gut, you’re also caring for your mind. And the results can be felt in just a few days.”

In the series users are taken through a results-driven approach to gut health, understanding the powerful connection between digestion and emotional well-being. The daily practices include expert-led gut health education, daily movement, functional nutrition insights and science-backed lifestyle tools in under 45 minutes per session.

Shah stressed the importance of gut health and its connection to “nearly every system in the body — from immune response and hormonal balance to cognitive clarity.” She added that when people begin to support their guts they often notice improvements in digestion, energy and mental clarity within just a few days. “But the real transformation comes from sustaining these habits over time — that’s when you start to feel a profound shift in your overall well-being.”

Importantly, each day of 7 Days to Gut Health focuses on a specific theme including nourishing the microbiome, reducing bloat naturally, regulating the nervous system through morning and evening rituals and debunking common gut health myths. The movement routines then take users through detoxifying flows, core activation exercises, calming breathwork and abdominal massage. Gut-friendly grocery lists and mindset prompts are included to further encourage lifestyle shifts.

Known for her transformative teaching style and thoughtfully sequenced classes, Wise told WWD that she has seen how powerful intentional movement can be, especially when it comes to gut health and stress, as a naturopath and Pilates Instructor.

In designing the program, Wise said that “each class includes specific movement patterns like gentle rotation to stimulate digestion, flow to support your lymphatic system, and even a guided abdominal massage to aid digestive function. It’s a holistic reset to help you feel lighter, more connected and in tune with your body, one day at a time.”

The 7 Days to Gut Health series is available to all Alo Moves members with memberships starting at $12.99 per month.
