Wellness Community

If you live in or near Los Angeles, there is an incredible place called The Wellness Community that offers free programs for people with cancer and their families. The programs offered are absolutely wonderful, including yoga, Chi Gong, T'ai Chi, strength training, relaxation/visualization and meditation just to name a few. TWC also hosts weekly support groups and networking groups. It truly has been a blessing to have. I especially recommend the restorative yoga class, taught by Sonya. This class continues to make a significant impact on my recovery. Sonya is a master at her craft, and talks you through every gentle pose made to restore nutrients to your body, replenish energy, and calm the mind. She ends the class with some very encouraging words: "May you carry the inner peace you have within you everywhere you go, in all that you say, and in all that you do." Thank you Sonya.
