Making a Difference

 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
5:50-6:30 p.m. Guided relaxation using Yoga Nidra techniques to develop deep rest supporting emotional and physical healing.

Participants can attend either or both sessions of the class

In person at:

Pink Warrior House
1106 Bellamah Ave NW,
Albuquerque, NM 87104

 Now that the weather is beginning to hopefully cool a bit, we are happy to host our bi-monthly walking groups at Tiguex Park! However, as the first Monday falls on Labor Day in September, we will only meet on the 3rd Monday this month.

We will meet at the (west) entrance to Tiguex Park at 5:00pm, across from the Albuquerque Museum on the 3rd (08/18) Monday.

We will walk, and chat, for 90 minutes. For those with kids, you are more than welcome to bring them, if they are able to walk, or can be pushed in strollers.

You don’t have to stay the entire time, but we welcome you to join for whatever time you can!

We are excited to meet and move with you! 💕

 Come join us for a monthly day of support at New Mexico Cancer Center!

We will be at NMCC Albuquerque (4901 Lang Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109) on the SECOND WEDNESDAY JUST FOR SEPTEMBER (returning to 1st Wednesday in October), and NMCC Gallup (2240 College Drive, Gallup, NM 87301) on the third Wednesday of each month, from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

We will offer Beautiful Warrior makeup and skincare classes, yoga with guided mediation, and a peer led talking circle for each event, and more! We will also be serving lunch at each Women’s Care Wednesday Gathering.

In September in Albuquerque we will have art therapy, intentional movement (yoga, Pilates, meditation), and Beautiful Warrior!

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

Please contact allison@pinkwarriorhouse.org with any questions, or for additional details regarding this event.

 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 month’s meeting can be attended virtually or in-person. The Zoom link can be found below for your reference.

We hope to see you! 💕

How does Tai Chi work?
Tai Chi exercises emphasize energy circulation, breathing and balance, along with mindfulness and concentration. You can practice these exercises while standing, seated or even while lying down. Over time, by practicing Tai Chi you can develop a heightened awareness of your own energy. Many people report feeling physically stronger and lighter, with emotions more calm and mind more clear.

Benefits of Tai Chi
What is Tai Chi good for? Tai Chi practice is recommended for overall wellness. It can help with balance, alignment, and stress reduction. Tai Chi exercises can also serve as a form of meditation. Tai Chi energy-balancing exercises are great for people of all ages, and can be adapted for your own condition. You may experience:

Less stress
Improved mood
Increased energy and stamina
Reduced chronic pain
Improved sleep
Improved flexibility, balance and agility
Improved muscle strength and definition

  As our community of Pink Warriors grows, we have many more members who are on the journey specific to metastatic disease (Stage IV). We understand that some of your needs and experiences are unique, and we want to provide a forum where you can come together (virtually) with other metastatic warriors to share, listen, and support one another.

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 hope you can join us! 💕

 Hi all! We are so excited to announce a new addition to our social and intentional movement calendars!

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.

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

We can’t wait to see you on September 22nd! 💕

 We are thrilled to gather once again with Kitty Brown, this time at her sacred home, for a fire ceremony honoring the Fall Equinox.

A time to celebrate the changing season, and a time to give special thanks to Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon, and Father Sun!

In the Tetzkatlipoka Tradition, known as the Nawi Ollin Teotle Life System, Movement of the Four Energies, we will open sacred space in all four directions.

West, East, North, and South, a time for prayer, meditation, and balancing mind, body, and spirit.

We would like everyone to arrive by 6:30pm, and the ceremony will begin at sunset.

We hope you can join us for this scared and special evening! 💕
