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.

While we are often given very little guidance as to how to navigate this period, the immediate postpartum can be a transformational time of recovery, rest, and bonding with your new baby and yourself. This workshop provides you with essential tools to prepare for the first six weeks, focusing on gentle movement and healing practices that promote physical recovery and emotional balance. We will lay the groundwork for a nourishing postpartum experience, exploring options for preparation, support, and self-care.

You will leave with daily movement options that are gentle enough to begin as soon as you’d like post-birth, mostly done from bed, and all designed to support the specific needs of your postpartum body, regardless of your birth experience. 

Additionally, we'll delve into essential preparatory measures for this often-overwhelming period, including healing techniques, strategies for building a supportive network, and meal preparation tips, ensuring you're ready to embrace the early weeks with your newborn with confidence and grace.

This workshop can be taken at any time in pregnancy.

Have you ever met our front desk staff member Kendra? She works on Sunday mornings and is always there to help greet you, check you in and help keep the studio clean. She has been with us in our Woburn location since we opened there and we are always so appreciative of her help.

Kendra’s son, Aidan, was very recently in a terrible car accident and the excerpt below is from a gofund me page setup by family friends. It is our hope that our LPY community can rally around her and help her as much as she has helped us.

Lorraine will be leading a 15-20 min Metta Meditation on Sunday 1/21 right after her 11am class. This Loving Kindness meditation is a powerful way to send our healing energy to Aidan, Kendra and all who need it. We hope to ask for a suggested donation of $15 at the door but any amount is always appreciated. Please join us. Details are below the excerpt.

“Aidan McElhinney from WHS class of ‘23 was in a serious car accident early in the morning on December 20, 2023. He is in a coma and on a ventilator in the ICU at a level 1 trauma center and is suffering from life threatening injuries. Thus far, he has had 6-7 surgeries. He has several more surgeries and numerous other medical needs ahead. As you can imagine, the family will likely incur loads of expenses to help him get through this. Hence, we set up this fund.

In addition to this tragic situation, this family also lost use of their home in April due to a house fire. It’s been a terrible year for them.

They are tremendously grateful for all the love and support this community has continually given them. As their friends, we are asking for more love and support of these kind people in this time of great need.”
