Jessica Biel and Gaiam Team Up on New Athleisure Line

Welcome to This Week in Wellness! Once a week, we'll bring you the latest news from the wellness world that has SELF editors talking while drooling over these dessert recipes that are somehow healthy, too.

This week, we're talking about...

Jessica Biel and her new yoga line.

It's so, so good, you guys. The actress teamed up with Gaiam—the brand's first-ever partnership in its 25-year history—for a smattering of yoga gear, clothes, and accessories. Although Biel won't be designing her first collection until the Fall 2018 line, she'll star in the brand's upcoming Spring 2018 campaign. Biel is no newbie to yoga—she's been practicing for over ten years—so that she knew exactly what she wanted from her line with Gaiam. “We want to bring an elegance to athleisure and elevate it so that when you see the pieces, it looks familiar to what you see on the runways and you can think about wearing it out to dinner or to pick up your kids at school,” Jessica Biel told WWD about the activewear she is currently designing.

The adorable AF Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2, which was just announced today.

The latest—and arguably most fantastical—band to date not only has the bells and whistles of the typical fitness tracker, but also have parent-specific options like the chore tracker. The mobile app enables parents to assign and reward chores, set up scheduler alerts, view step and sleep information, and more. Plus, with child-friendly activity challenges—and Disney-fied rewards at their completion—this will be on many a wish list this holiday season. Pre-order it here.

This survey suggests that "sporty" people are likelier to drink more booze.

Hold up: before you even make a judgment, keep in mind this study was done in Wales, a much smaller nation than our own, therefore not suggesting that us American sporty folk booze more, too. However, the National Survey for Wales, which involved 10,000 people, found that people who exercise regularly (identified as at least three times per week) are more likely to drink above the recommended alcohol allowance than those who do not work out, as reported by the BBC. What do you think? True in the States, too?

Aly Raisman takes her fit fashion moves to the next level (again).

While you may remember gold-medal gymnast Aly Raisman's flips and tumbles best, the 23-year-old is actually a designing-machine-slash-style maven, too. She's recently gotten in on the athleisure game herself, collaborating with comfy AF clothing line Life Is Good on a line of inspiring tees. Now, Raisman has teamed up with the folks at Reebok to design her very own sneaker—one that embodies that modern feminism. Using Reebok's YourReebok digital platform, it's complete with a millennial-pink heel inscribed with the words “Girl Power."

Egg coffee is a thing?

Bulletproof what? Instead of butter, maybe try topping your dark roast with some frothy egg whip. Our friends at Well + Good talked to NYC hot spot Hanoi House about the brand-new protein-laden way to get your morning buzz. Although it's been a Vietnamese staple for over a decade, only now are we in the States catching on to this new way to fuel up.

One cheerleader was proud to #TakeAKnee.

Although much of the week's political-and-sporting convo was directed solely at pro athletes, turns out others have gone viral for taking the same stand—errr, knee, too. Georgia Tech dance team member Raianna Brown talked to Teen Vogue about the image of her that went viral, who shared that the image was actually taken originally in 2016. However, after the weekend's divisive conversation, Brown reposted the image in what she called her “proudest and scariest moment as a yellow-jacket.” Clearly Brown is not only a talented and passionate athlete, but active and vocal in her community and the political conversation at large.

Whole Foods just introduced a new plant-based tuna-substitute sushi.

Because there are never too many options at Whole Foods, the Amazon-owned supermarket is expanding its on-the-go sushi bar offerings. Ahimi, the vegetarian and vegan-friendly sushi substitute, is tomato based and will be rolled out at the New York City and Los Angeles locations first. “[Finding Ahimi] was luck, honestly,” Andy Sasser, senior category leader for prepared foods and bakery at Whole Foods, told Supermarket News. Sasser found the sub while National Restaurant Association show in Chicago from a company dubbed Ocean Hugger. And good news for the tomato haters out there (PROUDLY RAISES HAND, I’M NOT SORRY I’M SCARED OF THEM): They taste nothing like the fruit slash vegetable. Next up for the Ocean Hugger team: Introducing Ahimi at Google and Twitter headquarters this fall.

And, MOST importantly, the idea of working out in bed. (I love bed.)

Considering Americans spend a third of their lives in bed, according to the National Sleep Foundation, I'm hoping that means you've got an amazing sleep set-up at home. But forget the mattress or the pillows themselves for a second, and think about the whole experience in bed as a way to work out. As a huge snooze advocate, I was all ears when I came across the Wakeout app from the team at Greatist, where one writer swears the in-bed workout app made her exercise more. Given my love for all things bed, I'm taking their advice and kicking off my own mornings with these six exercises or this 10-minute routine.
