Join The SHiNE Team, including Ally Cohen (a breast cancer survivor & warrior) & Anita Aiyer for an amazing mash up! 45 minute SHiNE Dance Fitness to an amazingly empowering playlist & 45 minutes of the perfect wind-down, hands on yoga class.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear pink in support and memory of the 'Pink Warriors' in our lives.

Ally’s story & why we love this cause!

I left my four year old with a babysitter on a sunny August afternoon in 2016 to head to a routine yearly mammogram. It was anything but routine. I remember getting dressed and waiting for the all clear to head home, but being pulled into a back office by the on-call radiologist. I was told I needed to get an oncology team together as soon as possible. I was convinced they had the wrong person--and I remember telling them so! I had no lumps, felt no masses, had no family history of breast cancer. But there was no mistake. Scans, biopsies, and tests were only the beginning. Weeks, months, and even years of surgeries, treatments, and appointments followed. But because of a strong support network in a caring community, I was never alone. I was lucky. In September of 2021, I celebrated five years cancer-free. I plan to dedicate this month to helping to increase awareness and to promote regular screenings and early detection of breast cancer. Nearly 1 in 8 women in America will receive a diagnosis during one's lifetime. Together, we can make a difference.

This 1.5 hour workshop will present the concept of neuroplastic pain and deliver an opportunity for you to start your healing journey.

If you are like me, you have already tried all the medical solutions. However, when none of these is able to eliminate the pain chances are your pain is no longer generated from your body, but rather your brain is sending the sensation of pain to that particular area of the body. Ironically, the more “fixing” you try and seek out for your body the more those pain messages are reinforced.

This pain is NOT in your head. It is not worry or anxiety. You can’t just get over it. It is real physical pain, but the solution to heal it most likely lies in a different approach than what we are used to in our society. Some of the most common symptoms of chronic pain are (but not limited to): Headaches/migraines, Pelvic Pain, Back Pain, Joints, and anything that has lasted longer than 6 months after injury/surgery or started with no injury.

What to expect: My personal pelvic pain story, option to share out what discomfort you are experiencing (option not to share), a brief description of neuroplastic pain and it’s various other terms (ie) tension myositis syndrome, mindbody syndrome, and a somatic tracking exercise to take you through a full body scan and meditation specifically designed to send messages of safety to the brain. I will share any and all resources I have with you about who the experts are in this field. 

Bring a journal/ something to write with.

Take time this pregnancy to plan for self care and healing movement in the first six weeks postpartum.
