Another site with access to thousands of documentaries on everything from science and history to culture and lifestyle and which can be viewed on TV, phone, tablet or lap top is www.curiositystream.com. It is not free however as there is an annual subscription.

Another yoga tutorial online can also be found at thenutritionhealer.com which is run by Sonja Breuer, Ayurveda consultant and founder of The Nutrition Healer. Her classes are held every Friday morning at 10am.

Music

For relaxing music to sweep away the stress, talented Malaga musician Miguel Molero has uploaded a few videos, with the promise of more, of him performing some of his own compilations.

Singer Alejandro Sanz performed a free, live concert for the #quédateencasa movement on 15 March which can be viewed on Youtube #LaGiraSeQuedaEnCasa.

Other well known musicians are performing via social media, such as Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin, Keith Urban and John Legend, who have all uploaded videos on Instagram (#SocialDistancingSessions) to kick of 'Together at Home', a virtual music series to unite people around the world during the coronavirus pandemic.
