Today is national mammography day.

It's recommended that women 35 years and older get an annual mammogram.

Women with a history of breast cancer in their family should start even sooner.

The CDC says early detection is the best defense in beating breast cancer.

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The apartment complex Kaktus Life is hosting a yoga class tomorrow to raise funds for breast cancer.

The event is outside their complex near Cactus and Dean Martin.

The class starts at 10 a.m.

Tickets are $25 and only 50 spots are available.
