The opportunity to get and stay healthy was a major draw for people to both visit and move to Los Angeles — whether it was during the tuberculosis epidemic (a.k.a. the "forgotten plague") during the 19th century or the health and wellness boom of the early 20th century. Both of these topics are explored in Season 6 of the PBS SoCal Original Series Lost LA.

The Tree Yoga Collective is providing a self-care resource to its South Los Angeles community with a focus on equitable access to mindfulness, meditation, and flow. Here are some other South L.A. hidden gems for fostering inner peace, too — including a healthy dose of nature, plant-based cuisine and caffeine.

When you're visiting Alchemy Craft in Montebello, featured in Episode 1 of Season 3 of the PBS SoCal Original digital series "SoCal Wanderer," you can also hit up the other vendors at the BLVD MRKT food hall where the craft cocktail bar is located. And if you go for Sunday brunch, you can also catch some lowriders cruising down Whittier Boulevard.

The "SoCal Wanderer" digital series, a PBS SoCal Original, is back for Season 3 with visits to even more women-led businesses: Alchemy Craft in Montebello, Los Originales Tacos Árabes De Puebla in Boyle Heights, Babes of Wellness in Compton, The Tree Yoga Cooperative in South L.A. and Obet and Del's in East Hollywood/Thai Town.
