Whether you’re navigating cancer or just need a supportive space to recharge, Wellness Warriors is here for you. This welcoming class blends gentle movement (much of it seated), mindfulness, and community connection to help you feel stronger inside and out — no experience needed!
Expect grounding exercises like breath work or meditation, beginner-friendly strength-based movement, and meaningful group discussions focused on emotional well-being and self-awareness. Together, we’ll explore questions like:

“What sensations am I feeling?”
“What thoughts come up when I’m challenged?”
“How can I stay present in this moment?”

Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, empowered, and supported.

Tai chi helps reduce stress and anxiety. And it also helps increase flexibility and balance. Originally developed for self-defense, tai chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that’s now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in motion, tai chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.

Healing from Within – Beyond Cancer (Sign-up Required)
2026-08-29 10:00 - 12:00 | Michelle’s Place, 41669 Winchester Rd Suite 101, Temecula, CA, 92590, United States
Healing From Within – Beyond Cancer is a mind-body workshop grounded in science and activated by you as a powerful participant in your healing and wellbeing. Every thought you think, every word you speak about your body, every image you hold of yourself sends a biological and energetic signal to every cell. This is not about positive thinking. This is documented science. And it is something you can access and use right now, at any stage of your journey.
In this two-session, four-hour workshop, you will discover your power and ability to shift the internal environment of your body. You will create personalized affirmations and active visualizations and learn to engage with your treatments and medication —as powerful allies. And you will leave with a personal toolkit of practices that are yours to use, refine, and return to for the rest of your life.
This program is intentionally structured as a two-session experience, and attendance at both sessions is required to receive the full benefit of the series.
Session Dates:

Part 1: Saturday, August 15th from 10am – 12pm
Part 2: Saturday, August 29th from 10am – 12pm

By registering, you are committing to attend both Day 1 and Day 2 sessions. Each session builds on the previous one, so participation in both is essential.
