A yoga rally for a good cause

Organized by and for the benefit of the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association since 2014, the Yogis of the Heart event has become the unmissable event on the yoga planet at the start of the school year. After 3 editions at the Orangerie of the Château de Versailles and then a special edition in 2016 with 2 people at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Yogis du Cœur are back in Paris for a whole new experience of solidarity yoga in a magnificent classified setting: The Opera Room at the InterContinental Paris Le Grand.

The goal is to raise funds to operate on two children with heart defects.
