This year, for Pink October, the Fondation Cognacq-Jay invites you to its Pink Yoga classes in eight locations in Paris and the Île-de-France region. No need to be a pro, or to have the latest equipment: a mat, a T-shirt and a snack are offered on this occasion. It's a way of encouraging participants to engage in regular physical activity, in order to reduce the risk of illness.

The sessions are followed by training inself-palpation: a do-it-yourself breast cancer screening technique, in addition to the annual gynecological check-up. Depending on the location, various workshops may also be offered. A good, committed plan that could well save your life.
