Simmons and Taylor Start a New-Year Wellness Push with ‘The Vitality Reset’ — a 40-Day Plan to Rethink Aging

A new program meant to make the New Year feel like a fresh start

Today Russell Simmons and Vonetta E. Taylor announced a 40-day wellness program called “The Vitality Reset.” The offering is positioned as a New Year’s regimen that asks participants to treat aging as something they can influence through daily habits. The message is simple: small, steady practices over 40 days can change how you sleep, move, eat and feel.

The launch is aimed at people who want a guided routine to begin the year with more energy and clarity. The creators say the program mixes physical movement, guided breathwork and reflective practices, and it’s presented by founders who have long reputations in yoga, spiritual teaching and wellness writing.

What participants will actually do each day

The Vitality Reset is organized as a daily plan with short, practical steps. Each day brings a mix of light movement, breathwork, dietary prompts and a guided reflection or meditation. Expect yoga sequences meant for beginners and people who already practice, simple breathing exercises to calm the nervous system, and a short evening practice to help with sleep and recovery.

Founders describe signature elements such as guided breath sets, gentle mobility routines, and what they call “shamanic reflection”—a form of contemplative journaling and ceremony led by Taylor. Nutrition guidance focuses on whole foods and timing rather than strict rules; the program suggests modest, repeatable eating patterns that pair with the daily movement and sleep work.

Content will be delivered in bite-sized pieces so participants can follow along without rearranging their whole day. The program also includes weekly themes — for example, calming the nervous system, improving digestion, or restoring movement patterns — and short videos or audio sessions to guide the daily work.

Why these two are fronting the project

Russell Simmons is a well-known figure in American yoga and lifestyle entrepreneurship. He helped popularize yoga in cultural circles and built brands that mixed spirituality and everyday living. Simmons brings public name recognition and a history of building large-scale lifestyle projects.

Vonetta E. Taylor is described by the organizers as an award-winning author and a teacher with shamanic and somatic training. Her work centers on healing practices, ceremony and guided ritual. In this program, Taylor provides the spiritual and reflective backbone — the guided meditations, journal prompts and ritual elements that shape the course.

Together, the pair position the program as a blend of practical bodywork and deeper reflective practice, aiming to reach people who want both movement-based routines and a purpose-driven practice to start their year.

How this fits into the crowded wellness market

The Vitality Reset joins a long list of 30- to 60-day challenges that promise measurable change through daily habits. Its mix of yoga, breathwork and guided ritual is not unique, but the combination of Simmons’ name and Taylor’s spiritual framing gives it a distinct voice.

Target users are the usual audience for January wellness launches: people who want structure, quick wins and a program they can follow without a steep learning curve. Compared with purely fitness-focused plans, this one leans more toward restorative practices and daily ritual, which may appeal to people seeking less intense physical routines and more emphasis on sleep, stress and mindset.

When it starts and how to join

The program was announced now with the New Year in mind. Organizers say enrollment will open around the turn of the year and that the material will roll out in daily segments. Specific pricing and the full sign-up process were outlined by the founders; potential participants should look for official enrollment pages to see the exact dates, tiers and any free or low-cost options.

There will also be media availability and spokespeople from the team to explain the practices and the course approach as the launch nears. For readers curious about a structured New Year reset that blends classic yoga with guided ritual and simple nutrition prompts, this program is an easy, low-hype option to consider.
