Why Pink October is a key month in the fight against breast cancer
Every year, the month of October is synonymous with raising awareness for a vital cause: the fight against breast cancer. Pink October is a time to inform, prevent, support, and raise funds for research and action around this disease that affects thousands of women around the world. At YogaSearcher, we believe in the power of collective initiatives and, this year again, wish to fully commit to this cause in partnership with the Rose Up association.
What is Pink October?
Pink October is an international campaign that began in the 1990s. Every year, throughout the month of October, numerous initiatives are implemented to inform the public about breast cancer screening, to support women affected by this disease, and to raise funds for research and charities. Pink October events range from symbolic marches to fundraising campaigns and partnerships with charitable companies.
In addition to participating in activities like Pink October, it is important to remember that there are simple actions you can take regularly to look after your health.
- Regular screening by a doctor.
- Breast self-examination.
- Adopt a balanced lifestyle to prevent illness.
Presentation of Rose Up: The association serving women
Rose Up is a French association that supports women affected by cancer before, during, and after their treatment. Founded by women for women, the association strives to improve the quality of life of patients by providing information and advice, as well as by advocating for their rights. One of Rose Up's flagship initiatives is giving patients a voice, allowing them to share their experiences and break down the taboos surrounding this disease.
As a major player in the fight against breast cancer, Rose Up offers valuable resources to women to help them stay active, informed and resilient.
YogaSearcher commits to Pink October
At YogaSearcher, we're proud to be a women-founded and women-led company, promoting values of well-being and solidarity. With this in mind, we've decided to support Rose Up again this year with our Pink October campaign.
From October 1st to 30th, we are committed to donating 10% of sales from all our bras to the Rose Up association. In addition to this financial contribution, we want to raise awareness in our community about the importance of screening and supporting women affected by cancer.
A committed collection: The bra as a symbol of support
For this campaign, we chose to highlight our sports bras, an essential piece of clothing for all yoga practitioners. Beyond the comfort and support they provide, our sports bras are also a way for our customers to actively participate in a cause that's close to our hearts.
Whether during your yoga practice or in everyday life, every bra purchased is a gesture of solidarity towards women affected by breast cancer. Discover our selection of bras and support Pink October with us.
The Benefits of Yoga for Women Affected by Breast Cancer
Yoga can play a key role in the recovery of women affected by breast cancer. This gentle practice helps reduce stress, improve mobility, and boost self-esteem. At YogaSearcher, we believe that mental and physical well-being are essential in the healing process. In addition to providing emotional support, yoga allows patients to remain active while respecting their physical abilities.
Yoga isn't just about improving flexibility or strengthening muscles. It's also a wellness practice that can be especially beneficial for people with chronic illnesses , including breast cancer . Several studies have shown that regular yoga practice not only reduces stress, but also helps you better manage pain and fatigue related to treatment.
The Physical Benefits of Yoga During and After Cancer Treatment
For women undergoing treatment or in remission from breast cancer , yoga can offer a multitude of physical benefits :
- Improved flexibility and mobility : Cancer treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy, can limit shoulder and arm mobility. Gentle yoga poses help regain this mobility.
- Reduced fatigue : Yoga, combined with deep breathing exercises, can increase energy and reduce chronic fatigue.
- Strengthening the immune system : Breathing exercises and meditation encourage deep relaxation, which helps reduce stress and, consequently, strengthen the immune system.
The psychological and emotional benefits of yoga
In addition to its physical benefits , yoga also has a significant impact on the mental and emotional well-being of people affected by cancer:
- Stress and anxiety reduction : Practicing yoga, with a focus on breathing, helps calm negative thoughts and anxiety.
- Improved quality of life : Patients who practice yoga regularly often have better quality sleep and experience fewer symptoms of depression or hopelessness.
- Strengthening self-esteem : After cancer, your body may no longer match your self-image. Yoga helps you reconnect with your body in a caring way.
These practices, well suited to people in treatment or in remission, promote not only better physical recovery , but also a reduction in the emotional stress often associated with the disease.
Together, let's be united
With this Pink October campaign, Yoga Searcher not only wants to contribute to an essential cause, but also to remind all women of the importance of taking care of themselves, whether through exercise, wellness, or regular screening. Together, through your purchases, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer and support all those in need.
Join us from October 1st to 30th and take part in our solidarity campaign.
