All services are available at no cost to anyone personally impacted by breast cancer.

Partnership Opportunities

Our Upcoming Events

Pink Warrior House’s Wig Program allows local breast cancer thrivers, going through chemotherapy, to select two wigs free of charge.

We partner with Femme Chic Beauty, through the Pink Crown Project, to also have each wig cut and styled.

Wig fittings are by appointment only. Please text Allison at (505) 577-5264 to schedule. 💕

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

We’re looking forward to seeing you virtually on April 1st! 💕

We are so excited to partner with BODYBAR ABQ to offer this exciting opportunity as a part of our intentional movement offerings! We will host this class once a month on Saturday’s.

This month we will be at BODYBAR (in Winrock, across from the park) on Saturday, April 4th, at 12:00pm.

Please be sure to complete the waiver at the link below.

https://forms.prd.xplorcs.com/bodybar-abquptown/waivers/2025-bodybar-waiver-HxtdGg.html

We will be limited to 14 spots, as there are 14 reformers in the studio. In February, we had 5 people RSVP who did not come to the class, or let us know they were unable to attend. We understand that things come up. If you sign up and realize you will be unable to make it, please update your RSVP ASAP or reach out to Allison accordingly, as we do anticipate having a lot of interest for this event. We have opened 17 spots for this invite. Those who RSVP as spots 15-17 will be our waitlist. 💕

Please read more about this exciting opportunity below:

Step up to the BAR and meet your new favorite workout. Challenge your body, ignite your motivation, and connect with a community that inspires you every time you step into the studio. At BODYBAR, we offer a modern approach to group fitness rooted in Reformer Pilates techniques. Pilates is our happy hour and we want it to be yours, too!

Slow the pace and refine your form in this crowd-favorite BODYBAR class. The workout dives into each exercise’s posture, form, and intention. It’s an excellent place for beginners to start, experienced practitioners to revisit, and everyone to enjoy

Our skilled instructors and clean, welcoming studio delivers the positive energy and accountability you need to reach your wellness goals. Get started today and feel the difference at BODYBAR.

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 second and last Wednesday’s of each month.

We are hoping to have a guest speaker for the last Wednesday this month.

We hope to see you in-person on April 8th! 💕

We are thrilled to be adding this new program to our offerings!

We will be hiking (spring through fall) one Saturday each month. Anna Scarborough will be our guide. She is one of our Pink Warrior sisters, who worked for the forest service for more than two decades. She will be sharing her knowledge of our beautiful local lands!

There will all be easy to moderate hikes, as described in these monthly invitations.

This month we will be walking the Bosque Trail. It is a very easy paved path. We will meet at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, on the west side of the parking lot, near the trail.

Pink Warrior House will bring cold waters and snacks for everyone. We will plan on hiking for 60-90 minutes, at a slow to moderate pace.

In May we will be at the Elena Gallegos/Pino Trail.

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, facilitated by Chris Smith, who lovingly walked beside his wife and father 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! 💕

We are thrilled to be partnering with the Sacred Spring Reiki Collective to bring reiki back to Pink Warrior House.

They will be on site one day each month, and we will have two practitioners, with two sessions per hour available for three hours, for a total of six sessions.

This month reiki will be on Tuesday, April 14th, with sessions available as follows:

10:00am - Session #1 (Filled)
10:00am - Session #2 (Open)
11:00am - Session #3 (Open)
11:00am - Session #4 (Open)
12:00pm - Session #5 (Open)
12:00pm - Session #6 (Open)

After you RSVP here, please text Allison at (505) 577-5264 with your preferred time slot, and we will update the availability in the invitation accordingly.

Each of our Pink Warrior’s may have three complimentary individual reiki sessions at this time, paid for by Pink Warrior House. After that, we encourage you to communicate directly with the practitioners to establish a rate, if you would like to have additional sessions.

Sacred Spring Reiki Collective is a group of dedicated Reiki Practitioners in the greater Albuquerque area providing Reiki treatments, classes and opportunities to cultivate the healing energy within us all! Their mission is: “Reiki guides us toward the realization that Universal Love resides in each one of us--it is the convergence of Spirit and humanity. Our mission is to honor the innate healing ability of All Living Beings through Reiki.”

We hope you will take the opportunity to benefit from this beautiful practice! 💕

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 April 15th! 💕

This group will be offered in collaboration with Amy Bellomo Robinson, and the Radiant Healing Together Community.

We will be meeting virtually on the third Thursday of every month. This will be a virtual only gathering. Please find the Zoom link below for your reference.

We are thrilled to be partnering with Amanda Tay (Pink Warrior) and her beautiful studio, The Movement Temple, to bring you this new offering once a month.

Hi Allison! The April code is:

PINKgiftHealingApr

Please be sure to register at the link below, and use the above code in the payment section, so that your class will be free of charge.

https://themovementtemple.com

This class will be held from 11:30am to 12:25pm on the 3rd Friday of each month, and will be limited to 10 attendees.

This will be a gentler version of their traditional trapeze yoga class.

From Amanda, “Students are often attracted to the Yoga Trapeze for spinal traction and passive backbends, but very quickly they learn that the functional pulling and grip strength offered compliments a mat-based yoga practice to create a full-body fitness routine.

A yoga practice or exercise routine that integrates The Yoga Trapeze, even if just once or twice per week, includes pushing, pulling, holding, twists, backbends, forward bends, hip opening and so much more. You can work your shoulders, calm your nerves, and leave class floating on air.

Your spine is just like an accordion made up of vertebrae and discs, and the pain you experience is almost always the result of compression. If you release that compression, even just a millimeter, it can massively reduce your pain. Everyone’s body is different, but it is amazing how many people find inversion therapy effective. In just seven minutes you can find remarkable relief.”

Benefits of Inversion Yoga:

•Creates space in your spine with TRACTION
•Improve STRENGTH all around especially with pull motions you do not get in a regular yoga class
•Increase FLEXIBILITY using gravity to achieve deeper passive stretches
•Improve BALANCE on and off the ground

We hope you can join us for this fun and exciting event! 💕

All About Carbs (VIRTUAL) Cooking Tutorial!!!

So often gathering together (with food) means you CC one thing: time to eat a bunch of carbs!!!! Whether it’s mashed potatoes, challah bread, your aunt’s cookies, or delicious dessert pies made from scratch, most celebrations feature an array of delicious temptations.

Carbs can be confusing in the nutrition world with so much conflicting information and lack of clarify on what a carbohydrate even is and whether or not they are good or bad for our bodies.

This class will discuss modern research on carbohydrates and look at the comparison between healthy vs. unhealthy carbs, plant-based vs. animal-based carbs, and simple carbs vs. complex carbs. We will also create a delicious plant-based meal filled with healthful whole-plant ingredients and discuss health benefits from these nutrient-dense carbs helpful in the battle against chronic illness!

Amanda Kelly is a Certified Holistic Health and Cancer Coach specializing in plant-based nutrition to address chronic illness with a background in holistic mental health, crisis intervention, and community outreach and resource navigation. She obtained her Bachelors in Psychology and Political Science from the University of New Mexico and has a passion for working with local nonprofits to address systemic public health issues in underserved populations.

We are thrilled to partner with the Salt Cave, to offer our monthly Salt Cave Sound Bath!

Relax, let go, and immerse yourself in the special transformative Reiki, tuning fork, and meditation session with Penny.

We will return to our Singing Bowl Sound Bath in May.

Based on the size of the salt cave, we must limit this experience to 10, so please be sure to RSVP accordingly. If you are interested in being added to a waitlist after capacity is reached, please call or text Allison at (505) 577-5264.

The sound bath will begin at 6:00pm, and we ask that you try and be there a few minutes before, so the event can begin on time.

We hope to see you on Monday, April 20th in the Salt Cave! 💕

We are so excited to partner with Patti, and her team at CSP Dance Studios to offer you monthly dance parties (with professional instruction) on the 4th Friday of each month.

THIS MONTH WE WILL BE INDIVIDUAL LATIN DANCING!

No partners necessary, but please bring anyone you think would like to learn to dance. Friends and family are welcome to attend as well!

Patti, and her incredible team at CSP Dance Studios (https://www.cspdancestudios.com) are hosting our Pink Warrior House Community for an hour of professional dance instruction, followed by free dance and socializing.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this fun and enjoyable event to our monthly calendar. We are hoping to keep growing this group so please encourage your friends and family to come along, just be sure to include them in your RSVP when you register.

As with all PWH classes, groups and workshops, this is a free event to anyone personally impacted by breast cancer, and their caregivers/loved ones.

We can’t wait to see you for DANCING on Friday, April 24th! 💕

Come join us for restorative yoga in the Salt Cave!.

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 Sarah is the instructor for this month.

This session is limited to 12 breast cancer thrivers.

We anticipate that this class will end up on a waitlist.

If all 12 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.

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 Saturday, April 25th! 💕

We are excited to be able to offer an in-person support option for breast cancer thrivers in Santa Fe, and northern New Mexico!

This group is IN-PERSON ONLY.

We hope to see you in Santa Fe on Wednesday, April 29th! 💕

This group will be IN-PERSON ONLY on the second and last Wednesday’s of each month.

We hope to see you in-person on April 29th! 💕
