New year, new us! It's time to bring out the mats and groove to the rhythm! SAWHA was able to provide yoga mats to registered women in our program to encourage them to create workout regimes. They were able to do this with access to online workout routines that are easy to replicate at home without any additional equipment! These videos were in the participants’ native languages and included fun dances as well!

Another way we were able to contribute to the well-being of South Asian immigrant women in our communities was by purchasing and distributing these size-inclusive, easy-to-use, automatic blood pressure machines! This amazing tool will be able to help them detect abnormal heartbeats and elevated blood pressure instantly in order to prevent and treat any conditions they may have as early on as possible.

One of the ways we helped some of the South Asian immigrant women in our communities is by purchasing and distributing these smart watches with built-in step counters to help them track their movement, reach their health goals, and motivate them to move more! New year, new steps! 💪🏽
