From Recovery to Strength: Workshop Recap
Our From Recovery to Strength: A Post-Breast Surgery Movement Workshop took place on April 16th, offering both in-person and virtual participants an educational session focused on safe, supported recovery after breast surgery or treatment.
Held at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy (Full Circle Breast Cancer Recovery), the workshop was led by two physical therapists specializing in post-mastectomy care.
Diana Tjaden and Abby Wolfin guided participants through how to better understand their bodies after surgery, including recognizing tightness, weakness, and swelling, and learning gentle strategies to improve comfort, mobility, and strength. The session also emphasized restoring range of motion and building confidence when returning to activity.
Attendees left with practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to listen to their bodies and move forward safely in their recovery journey.
Pilates for Breast Reconstruction Patients
Our special yoga class for Breast Reconstruction Patients was held at Hot Pilates Secret Studio on April 18 brought participants together for an empowering afternoon of mindful movement, healing, and connection.
Designed specifically for breast reconstruction patients, this complimentary introductory class gave attendees an opportunity to put into practice concepts introduced during Diana Tjaden’s From Recovery to Strength workshop—translating education into gentle, supportive movement.
Through guided Pilates exercises in a welcoming environment, participants explored ways to safely rebuild strength, improve mobility, and reconnect with their bodies during recovery. More than just movement, the event fostered encouragement, confidence, and community among those navigating the healing journey together.
We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this special experience so meaningful.
Walk and Talk Event on April 11
The most beautiful sunny day with the bluest and clearest sky…today we held our very first Team Resilience Walk & Talk—and what a beautiful way to start!
We soaked in the sunshine, moved our bodies, shared meaningful conversations, and slowed down just enough to reconnect…with each other and ourselves.
From steps on the path to coffee and conversation, today was a reminder that resilience isn’t built alone—it’s nurtured in community, in fresh air, in movement, and in moments like these.
This is just the beginning of something powerful.
Here’s to growing stronger, healthier, and more connected—together.
