The Municipality of Celorico de Basto, through CLDS 5G Celorico + Social, promoted a yoga class at the Municipal Library Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa on October 24th, as part of the «Palco da Consciência» initiative.

The activity aimed to raise awareness about cancer, highlighting the importance of prevention and early diagnosis, promoting health literacy and the population's well-being. The initiative reaffirms the Municipality's commitment to promoting health and quality of life through community-focused approaches.
The class provided a moment of well-being and relaxation, using yoga to promote body awareness, emotional balance, and the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits. It also reinforced the importance of community information and awareness regarding health issues and disease prevention.
This initiative is part of the “Outubro Rosa” campaign, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Municipal Councilor, Maria José Marinho, emphasized “the importance of raising community awareness about health literacy, healthy behaviors, and prevention and early diagnosis. Life is too precious to be lived without self-care”.
