The Ansião Cultural Center hosted yesterday, October 6th, a Yoga session for approximately 50 employees of private social solidarity institutions in the municipality, as part of the 'Dias da Vida Maior' (Days of Greater Life) initiative.

The initiative, promoted by the Municipality of Ansião until October 9th, dedicated an afternoon to the well-being of professionals who work daily with the elderly. The Councillor for Social Action, Maria Goreti Correia, highlighted the importance of these employees' work and emphasized the session's goal: "Today we are not going to care for others, we are going to care for ourselves".
The Yoga session took place in the late afternoon and early evening, providing a moment of self-care for the participants. The Mayor of Ansião, Jorge Cancelinha, attended the final part of the event, which concluded with a supper and convivial gathering among the professionals.
The 'Dias da Vida Maior' continue today with a Senior Walk to Ribatejo, visiting Alpiarça and Almeirim. Tomorrow, there will be more visits to municipal institutions, and on Friday, the 9th, the event will conclude with the play "Sempre que a Revista Canta" at the Ansião Business Center.
