“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle
Our Philosophy
The only path to true success is consistency.
But good habits are hard to keep. We download meditation apps then don’t use them. We start healthy routines then drop them. Life gets in the way.
At Via, we believe well-being habits should be accessible. They should fit into your everyday life and complement everything else you do to be healthy. And they should be done in an inspiring space where you’re energized to be your best.
Why practice daily habits?
We are what we do every day.
Putting the science of well-being into daily practice primes us for our full potential.
Real behavior change doesn’t happen alone.
Tap into the power of community in an environment of transcendent hospitality and expert guidance.
We need a foundation that supports a full life.
One space to count on everyday that helps us feel and achieve our best—in our careers, athletic pursuits, personal lives, and in all we undertake.

Grounded in Research
Everything we offer at Via is designed with the latest research in well-being, positive psychology, movement, and nutrition in mind.
The Science of Well-Being
Meditation
Meditation has been shown to lead to positive moods, increased concentration, and feelings of social connection. During meditation, brain connectivity and grey matter increase, and the effects grow with time. Speculatively, meditation practice also makes us happier by shutting off the default mode of mind-wandering that leads to unhappiness.
Movement
Twenty minutes of exercise per day can boost our mood, reduce depressive symptoms, and make our bodies healthier. Evidence consistently supports the positive effects of building strength, balance, flexibility, and agility. Movement at Via is designed to improve these four traits and enhance the body’s natural mobility.
Fuel
Our menu incorporates plant-based ingredients and superfoods with anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and energy- and immunity-boosting properties.
The Science of Positive Psychology
Expressing Gratitude
Taking time to express gratitude can improve mood and lower stress levels, as well as strengthen the immune system and lower blood pressure. At Via, we put our gratitude expression into action by writing on the Wall of Gratitude.
Finding Purpose
Setting a daily intention provides a sense of purpose and motivation, allowing us to recognize and live our values and helping us to raise our emotional and physical energy. At Via, we reflect on a personal purpose each day by writing on the Wall of Intention.
Building Community
The simple act of making a new social connection can improve mood and make us less likely to fall prey to stress. Happy, connected people are more motivated to do kind things for others and spend more time with family, friends, lovers, and community. A big reason to get off the meditation app and come join us!
