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!

In collaboration with Lovelace Embrace, PWH is thrilled to host Yoga and Guided Relaxation, every Tuesday (except July 4th this month) from 5:00-6:30pm at Pink Warrior House or virtually via Zoom.
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

It is not necessary to be a patient at New Mexico Cancer Center, but all attendees must be personally affected by cancer (or a caregiver of someone who is), and all must be COVID vaccinated.

We are so happy to welcome Claire Lissance to facilitate this month’s installment of our monthly Art Therapy Group.
Workshop : Seize the Moment and Set Your Own Life Restart Button through the joy of personal collage. If you can cut and paste, let your imagine soar and use your heart and mind, this workshop will be both fun and informative with many shared aha moments! Be open to the possibilities and magic of self discovery.
Claire Lissance, a visual artist since age 4, more recently a Breat Cancer survivor at age 69, has an extensive background in art education , career counseling and was lucky enough to use art as a healing modality with Veterans for over 12 years including working with patients with trauma . She ran the New Mexico Veterans Creative Arts Festival; many local winners went on to win Nationally— their lives changed through the creative process and recognition. Claire is a visual octopus working in clay ,watercolor, mixed media, handmade paper, printmaking and photography and has been lucky enough to receive art residencies and grants. Sharing the creative process with others gives her the most joy of all!
No creative experience is required, and as with all Pink Warrior House offerings, this group is open to anyone personally impacted by breast cancer, and their loved ones.
We hope to see you at Pink Warrior House on April 6th! 💕
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 group will be from 6:00-7:00, but someone will be there as early as 5:30 to greet you. So, we encourage caregivers to come grab a drink and/or some food, and get acquainted before the group begins at 6:00pm.
Warriors, if you want to accompany your caregiver to Canteen that is wonderful, however the 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! 💕
Pink Warrior House, Lovelace Embrace and the Young Survival Coalition co-host this monthly gathering.
We hope you can join us, as this is a chance to meet other young women who have been through similar diagnosis, treatment and life changes.
Going through Breast Cancer is difficult at any age, but going through it at a younger age presents some unique challenges. You are not alone! good company guaranteed!
This meeting can be attended virtually or in-person. The Zoom link can be found below for your reference.
We hope to see you! 💕

Our Battle Buddy Network pairs breast cancer thrivers and caregivers with new breast cancer Warriors or caregivers who are beginning their journey.
Other than being a breast cancer survivor, there is no specific time requirement to this role, just the willingness to be available to someone who is new to the journey, and could use some extra support and someone to connect with. We hope you can join us for this fun and informative afternoon! 💕

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 April 24th! 💕
We are so excited to again partner with Patti, and CSP Dance Studios to offer you monthly dance parties (with professional instruction) on the 4th Friday of each month.
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 an hour of free dance and socializing.
We are so excited to be able to offer this fun and enjoyable event to our monthly calendar. We are hoping to keep growing this group so please feel free to bring friends and family 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 on April 26th! 💕
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 75-minute yoga session in the salt cave with 15 minutes of crystal bowl sound bath during savasana.
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.
From our instructor Joy:
“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.
Please arrive about 15 minutes early to set up. This will be a fully booked class.
Here are all the props you will need for Saturday's class.
You will need a mat, 2 blocks (we can provide blocks if needed), a bolster (yoga pillow) if you do not have a bolster, (2) fluffy pillows will work. These props will allow us to hold the poses for long periods of time. We want to be able to allow the body to relax and melt.
I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.”
