This Month’s Health & Wellness Hot List

If you haven’t come across ALO yet, you soon will. The LA-born brand – launched in 2007 – has long been ahead of the curve with its green credentials and a lifestyle built around how people want to move, live and feel. Now, the ALO Wellness Club – an evolution of its much-loved ALO Moves platform – has relaunched as a free app, offering a constantly refreshed library of Pilates, yoga, strength, mindfulness and recovery classes led by some of the world’s top instructors. Classes are designed to be mixed and matched based on how you feel, rather than locking you into a rigid programme. The content mirrors ALO’s in-club experience (there are over 50 locations in the US), going beyond fitness to offer wellness series, recovery rituals and nutrition guidance.

Crafted at Powdermills doesn’t feel like a traditional wellness destination – and that’s exactly the point. Set within ancient East Sussex woodland and founded by Chris King – the name behind Birch – it’s redefining the modern members’ club as somewhere you can work, eat well, move, swim, create, and feel part of a community. Days might start with a cold swim in the private lake, followed by forest yoga or time in the lakeside sauna, before drifting into something creative – think pottery, printmaking or foraging – in the Craft Barn tucked in the woods. You’ll also find a spa, two padel courts and bright, airy studios offering everything from HIIT to barre. Food is seasonal and relaxed, rooms are calm and design-led, and there’s a strong sense of belonging. Membership starts from £180 a month, but day visitors and overnight guests are equally welcome.

Every so often, a new brand cuts through the noise – and Tyler Aromatherapy is exactly that. The brand brings a functional approach to scent, pairing pure essential oils with understated, refillable packaging that wouldn’t look out of place in a Cotswolds-meets-Copenhagen interior. The refillable candles are already building cult status – hand-poured into ceramic vessels, each one is designed to be reused and re-loved. Rosa – a warm, balancing blend of rose geranium, patchouli and bitter orange – is a standout. We also love its newest launch, Sanctuary Mist, which is designed to bring instant calm. Vegan, small-batch and crafted in the UK, Tyler Aromatherapy is one to watch.

If you’re over coconut water, this is the upgrade. Wow Cacao is the new-gen hydration drink made from the upcycled juice of the cacao fruit – a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich liquid that’s typically discarded from the chocolate industry. Packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and electrolytes, it delivers 20% of your daily potassium per bottle, making it a smart swap for post-gym recovery, glowing skin or an afternoon energy boost. Taste-wise, it’s light, refreshing and slightly tropical, without the cloying sweetness of many functional drinks. Available in still and sparkling versions, it’s one of the most exciting new drinks we’ve tried in a while.
