Pink Warrior House Foundation Registered 501(C)-3 Non Profit (Charitable Organization)
The Mission of the Pink Warrior House Foundation is to provide a community which supports those battling breast cancer, and their caregiver(s), with emotional and social services to foster hope and positive outcomes.
The Pink Warrior House offers support groups, counseling, art therapy, yoga, meditation and mindfulness classes and experiences, our Beautiful Warrior makeup and skincare classes with high quality products, nutritional support, a wig exchange with a professional stylist, a monthly virtual lecture series, a “Battle Buddy” network to pair those newly diagnosed with someone who has been through a similar fight, and so much more! All services are available at no cost to anyone personally impacted by breast cancer.
In collaboration with Lovelace Embrace, PWH is thrilled to host Yoga and Guided Relaxation, every Tuesday from 5:00-6:30pm via Zoom, or in-person at Pink Warrior House Foundation.
Yoga and Guided Relaxation
These free yoga classes are designed specifically for patients who have been diagnosed and treated for cancer. The focus of these classes is on stretching and strengthening with special attention to areas affected by treatment for breast cancer. It is coupled with guided relaxation. The relaxation techniques offered in this class will provide creative mind and body practices that help to reduce stress caused by the cancer journey. You may choose to participate in both sessions or one of the two.
EVERY TUESDAY:
5:00-5:45 p.m. Gentle yoga class designed to support all stages of treatment and recovery with modifications and options for all levels.
5:45-5:50 p.m. Short Intermission
5:50-6:30 p.m. Guided relaxation using Yoga Nidra techniques to develop deep rest supporting emotional and physical healing.

Our monthly in-person Caregiver Groups are the second Monday of each month.
These monthly gatherings will be for the loved ones of all cancer thrivers as they navigate the journey of caring for and supporting someone on this difficult journey.
It will be a peer led group, co-facilitated by Chris Smith and Amy Liotta who both lovingly walked beside their spouses and other family members while they were battling cancer.
The group will be hosted at the Canteen Brewhouse, on the patio, in an area that will be reserved specifically for our group. These groups will be on the second Monday evening of every month.
The support group will be from 6:00-7:00, with an optional Social Hour from 7:00-8:00. So, we encourage caregivers to come grab a drink and/or some food, and get acquainted after the group as well.
Warriors, if you want to accompany your caregiver to Canteen that is wonderful, however the support group portion itself will be limited to caregivers only to give them their own space in which to share and support one another.
Please spread the word, and share with the caregivers in your life. Let’s help support our caregivers the way they love and support us each and every day! 💕
Guided Meditation with Sound Healing Experience featuring Christine Michel with The Salt Cave.
Relax, let go, and immerse yourself in a transformative Sound Healing session. This session features the enchanting sounds of crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, and chimes, and you will be guided through a powerful meditation.

We hope to see you on Monday, February 10th at 6:00pm, in the salt cave! 💕
RESCHEDULED for March 3, 2025 - Please join us as we welcome Julie Wright, fellow member of our beautiful PWH community, for another installment of our education series. This one will be (In-Person) at Pink Warrior House Foundation.
Julie will tap into her many years of life coaching and facilitating and teaching executive functioning to help us all access our highest levels of functioning including focusing on our working memory!
Have you ever have to change your mind, make plans or stay calm in a difficult situation? Thank your executive functioning skills. The three main executive functions are working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibition control.
Executive functions (EFs) are a set of cognitive skills that help people manage everyday tasks and achieve goals. They act like an air traffic control system for the brain, coordinating other cognitive abilities and behaviors. They help people plan, focus, switch tasks, and adapt to new situations.
We hope you can join us as Julie guides us in:
Harnessing Executive Functioning: Turning Strengths and Weaknesses into assets.
Participants will learn to identify their unique strengths and weaknesses in executive functioning and gain practical strategies to leverage these traits effectively. This talk will provide the knowledge and confidence to thrive by embracing your executive functioning profile.
This is a wonderful group of Warriors, from all ages and stages, coming together to support one another through the journey of breast cancer. It is a peer support group, facilitated by other breast cancer thrivers.
This group is VIRTUAL ONLY and meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday’s each month.
We’re looking forward to seeing you virtually on February 19th! 💕

Yin Yoga Salt Cave Yoga & Sound Bath.
The Salt Cave provides an immersive self-care and wellness experience where you can enjoy a variety of services including dry salt therapy in a large salt cave!
This is a 60-minute yoga session in the salt cave, with Stevie as the instructor for this month.
This session is limited to 13 breast cancer thrivers.
We anticipate that this class will end up on a waitlist.
If all 13 spots are taken, and you are interested in being added to the waitlist, please reach out to Allison.
We are paying for each individual slot, so that this can be a free program through PWH. So, if you commit to a space, and are unable to attend, please remove yourself from the RSVP, so that someone from the waitlist may attend accordingly.
Yin Restorative Yoga allows for the body to slow down, relax, and turn inward which helps alleviate stress and restore the body’s energy levels, while improving flexibility, boosting circulation, and reduces tension. The Salt Cave will help alleviate stress and anxiety as well. It provides a relaxing environment with a tranquil atmosphere, making it the perfect haven for mindfulness.
While “yang” yoga focuses on your muscles, yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, and joints. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
We hope to see you on February, 22nd!! 💕
This is a wonderful opportunity for all of our Warriors navigating the challenges of life on the other side of active treatment. Those navigating their “new normal” as NED (no evidence of disease) have an opportunity to get together and discuss the mental and emotional challenges that come after chemo, radiation, and/or surgery.
This group will be IN-PERSON ONLY on the last Wednesday of each month.
We hope to see you in-person on February, 26th! 💕
