Vi residents from across the United States will be among the more than 100,000 older adults who on May 30 will participate in this years National Senior Health & Fitness Day, the nations largest older adult health and fitness event, which is celebrating its 19th year in 2012.
Scheduled activities to mark the event at various Vi continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) will range far and wide. Vi at La Jolla Village, CA, will begin the day with a morning walk, which is only the first of a full schedule of activities to include tai chi, yoga, Wii bowling, line dancing and even a drumming session. Vi at Highlands Ranch, CO, will hold a lifestyle seminar and special dance. Vi at Aventura, FL, will be among the participants in a health fair to be held at Sunny Isles Beach.
At Vi, we like to say boredom is not an option and this is especially true on this special day, said Bill Sciortino, Senior Vice President of Operations.
With more than 70 million baby boomers entering their retirement years, experts say for those 65 and over staying active and fit can spell the difference between independence and frailty. Older adults who are fit are likely to have a better quality of life and to live longer.
As an aging strategy, wellness is more than the absence of disease, said Sciortino. Its an approach to positive living that can lead to improved physical, mental and emotional health. We deliver services and care at Vi with an approach based on whole-person wellness, which definitely includes a physical dimension.
Recently, Vi commissioned a report by Ken Dychtwald Ph.D., renowned gerontologist, psychologist, best-selling author, and CEO of Age Wave that challenges the prevailing myths and misperceptions about CCRC living, including the myth that CCRCs are filled with old people who are sick and dying.
The reality, according to the report, is that many people choose CCRCs to pursue opportunities for new learning, new activities and a new chapter in life. The report, The Five Myths and Realities of Continuing Care Retirement Communities, is available in its entirety at http://www.ViLiving.com.
CCRCs offer independent living with a combination of a private residence, services, amenities and care (for example, assisted living, memory support care and skilled nursing care).
Organized as a public/private good health partnership by the Mature Market Resource Center (MMRC), Senior Health & Fitness Day will offer fitness activities for older adults at more than 1,000 locations including hospitals, park and recreation departments, senior centers, health clubs, retirement communities, houses of worship, health departments and other community locations. The event is always held on the last Wednesday in May as part of Older Americans Month activities.

Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) May 15, 2012
Paul Broomfield announced today the launch of a new yoga class catered to the workplace. With the intent to reinforce and support a positive and healthy shift in corporate culture -improving individual health, job perception, performance, team building, and inter-office dynamics, Paul brings an easy to do at the office yoga class.
Optimizing overall company performance is connected to retaining employees and less sick days. Paul aims to help companies do this by providing a one-hour yoga program held at the convenience of the companys schedule. His programs are personalized and catered to the office dynamic and needs. Every courses is unique but on average the cost of a class is 125$ +tax.
I suggest a late morning or early afternoon timeframe. The reasoning behind this is that the practice will rejuvenate and revitalize the day. Much like recess would in elementary school, employees come back to work more focused and motivated, says Paul Broomfield, Corporate Yoga Instructor.
Yoga is a cost effective way to de-stress, improve health and change employee perception. The focus on breathing and physical postures, stimulates the mind and brings elasticity and youth back into joints, muscles and vital organs. An individual working from a place of calm and focused motivation is proven to be more efficient and mindful to the integrity of the work at hand.
Paul Broomfield has been teaching yoga at Invera for over two years, says Ram Panda, President of Invera Inc. At first we only offered one yoga class per week for barely half a dozen employees. Soon it caught on, and now we organize classes every day of the week, with full attendance. Paul is very much liked by everyone, and is a highly qualified teacher. He has a great understanding of not only yoga, but also the symbiotic connections between yoga, the body and mind. I would highly recommend him to any company who is thinking of starting an in-house corporate program.
Pauls personal practice and integrity are felt throughout his classes, says Scott Simons President and Founder of Organik Sant

Folks who are interested in attending may sign up at the website to receive periodic updates.
The Common Grounds Yoga and Music festival has been a true dream in the making. The incredible natural surroundings are definitely conducive to connecting spirit with mind and body. The senses absorb the sounds of nature the birds singing, animals foraging, gentle breezes fluttering the leaves of the trees, and the sound of water lapping rhythmically against the shorelines. Simply being in this environment is a form of meditation.
Of course, there will be yoga classes, led by recognized professionals. Lectures, hikes, a cinema series, meditation and music concerts will be scheduled throughout the weekend. Vendors will be present to offer healthy and delicious food and beverage choices to complement the weekend. In addition, a memorable Saturday night dinner cruise is being planned where garden-fresh vegetables and just out of the lake walleye will be served.
The festival will be held on the grounds of Nelsons Resort on beautiful shores of Crane Lake. The fresh vegetables are the star of the Nelsons massive garden which feeds as many as 200 people on an average Saturday night during the peak of the summer season. The garden was featured in an article written by Margaret J. Haapoja for Country Gardens Magazine and it will be featured during the Common Grounds Yoga and Music Festival as well!
Nelsons Resort offers a variety of cabin style accommodations. Within a nearby radius, there are campgrounds, RV parks and many more small resorts. By contacting the folks at the Crane Lake visitors can obtain recommendations for the perfect lodging for couples, groups and families at all budget levels, who wish to attend the event or simply experience a Minnesota Vacation in the north-woods.
The experience promises to be a very restorative one a chance to leave the everyday stresses behind and to exist in a totally different frame of reference. The Festival experience encompasses one weekend in August, but many guests plan to arrive early, or remain in the area afterward to experience a grander taste of the wilderness. Fishing, berry picking, birding, sightseeing and photography, hiking, boating, swimming and generally soaking up nature as it existed hundreds of years ago, are among the easiest experiences to have in Crane Lake.
