THANK YOU FRIENDS!!

Four amigos taking a breather after their Be Well Yoga class before two of the four headed to EOS Fitness for Amber's class. What can we say...some are just gluttons for punishment! It was so nice to welcome Eileen back after nearly 3 months away.

Helene from ReBloom joined Alessandra's Yoga Sculpt class at EOS Oceanside last week and gifted the entire class with beautiful pink bouquets. What a way to celebrate yourself after a workout, right?

This photo brought back memories of when we first began our walking Wednesday group, and met in front of the Cardiff Kook, which still serves as our gathering spot today. Several in this picture were experiencing treatment related de-conditioning and fatigue, but together we offered each other consistency and accountability to keep showing up. Having good friends makes it easier to stick to a routine and overcome low energy or isolation. These shared walks create space for open conversation, reducing stress, anxiety, and the feeling of being "stuck" after a diagnosis or a recurrence.

Most have even noticed improved sleep, more stamina and an overall improvement in their quality of life! Check out this brief survivor blog for inspiration to get those steps in. Cure Today: Why Every Cancer Survivor Should Have a Walking Partner
