Health and Wellness Programming
VIVA!
An enthusiastic celebration of life!
Pathway’s signature, award-winning VIVA! lifestyle fosters purpose and offers a whole new way of aging healthfully and happily. VIVA! offers a wealth of opportunities to enrich lives through social, educational and spiritual pursuits, as well as the chance for people to share their skills, talents and passions with others through resident-led activities.
Health Chats
Health care professionals from Wellness Health Partners give regular “Health Chats” on a variety of health and wellness topics. Victory Centre of Roseland residents say that the talks inspire better eating, more physical activity and less stressful living.
Chair Chi
Victory Centre of Roseland offers a popular Chair Chi program, a gentle exercise to help people who cannot stand or have balance issues receive the benefits of traditional Tai Chi. The many benefits include balance, flexibility, range of motion, strength, energy, pain relief, stress reduction and peace of mind.
VIVA! Laughter Yoga
Others are choosing to get fit and have fun with a new twist on yoga, VIVA! Laughter Yoga. A certified Laughter Yoga instructor leads the group through a workout that combines the breath work of yoga with laughter. Benefits include a good mood, heart protection, better immunity, emotional connection and a positive attitude. It’s gaining popularity at Roseland faster than a case of the giggles.
