(Subtitled) One-Minute Wellness Series
These bilingual videos feature the voices and advice of staff at LAMB-PCS in Washington, D.C. Subtitled in English and Spanish, this "Consejos de Bienestar" series shows how nonprofit workers and K-12 educators can connect virtually, meaningfully, by supporting each other with wellness tips.
Abs Circuit w/ Gabby
You can follow Gabby's expert lead (and huff and puff along with Susan) in this circuit, part of our "Breaks" playlist on YouTube.
This one focuses on your core, but also on endorphins (nature's painkillers) created through exercise. We all need exercise right now, to boost our immune systems, tone our muscles and MOST IMPORTANTLY, lift our spirits.
Mindfulness exercise (in Spanish)
Maria-Jose Carrasco (LAMB-PCS) leads a popular anxiety-busting 5-4-3-2-1 exercise in Spanish (with English subtitles). This is a presence-focused mindfulness practice.

Cardio legs circuit (Gabby)
In this 7-minute cardio workout, Gabby & Susan demo a high- and low-impact circuit to get your blood pumping. They chat about things like "spreading the floor," alignment, balance, glutes, and BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Keep your spirits high and your bodies healthy.
Atencion Plena (Daniel)
In this video (in Spanish, subtitled in English), we practice an exercise focused on "mantra" led by Daniel Medina. Mantra is one method of mindfulness, and meditation, which is beneficial for focus, memory, immunity and joy.

Squat break (Ty)
Squats are so important for leg strength and hip health. Ty leads a quick squat break for any time of day. Pump up the music for an added boost.
BREATHE
BREATHE, said the wind...
How can I breathe at a time like this,
when the air is full of the smoke
of burning tires, burning lives?
Just breathe, the wind insisted.
Easy for you to say, if the weight of
injustice is not wrapped around your throat,
cutting off all air.
I need you to breathe.
I need you to breathe.
Don’t tell me to be calm
when there are so many reasons
to be angry, so much cause for despair!
I didn’t say to be calm, said the wind,
I said to breathe.
We’re going to need a lot of air
to make this hurricane together.
