Active Aging Week 2025! 🎉 Cascades Verdae proudly participates in Active Aging Week to show how The Weller Life allows our Members to defy the stereotypes associated with aging. This year was no different. 😋 We had a week packed with adventures! We kicked it off this year with a Tai Chi and Yoga fusion class! The class offered a perfect balance of flow, flexibility, and focus, leaving everyone feeling relaxed, energized, and connected. 🧘♀️ It was the ideal start to a week dedicated to celebrating wellness and vitality! After an energizing class, Members enjoyed a refreshing protein smoothie made by our social and wellness director. It was the perfect way to refuel, relax, and connect. ✨ This week is all about celebrating the ways our Members live The Weller Life, so we set up the Living Vibrant Wall in our art studio. Throughout the week, team members and Members will add their individual creative touches to highlight what living vibrantly means to them. We were visited by Sara, who helped share some techniques for better sleep. Sleep is an essential part of your overall health, so if you're having a hard time sleeping, it'll be harder to recover from other activities. 😴 She shared the benefits of calming sleep rituals and how crystal bowls can help achieve better rest. One thing to note about Cascades Verdae Members is that they really light up a room as soon as they enter it. They took it to a whole new level by exploring glow yoga! 🧘 🌈 They move and stretch under black lights in their glowing clothes. The eccentric atmosphere made for a fun, energizing, and unforgettable yoga experience! Following the fun of Glow Yoga, residents participated in an engaging discussion on the actual protein requirements.💪 The talk covered the importance of protein for strength, energy, and healthy aging — sparking great conversation and practical tips for everyday wellness. To conclude our week, we took on the Tour de Cascades! It was 13 miles of scenic trails, fresh air, and tacos at the finish line! From Cascades down Verdae Road, Legacy Park along The Swamp Rabbit Trail, every pedal celebrated power, perseverance, and pure fun. 🤩🚴♀️🗺️
