Toss the Bathroom Scale out the Window!

The key to optimal health (and YES, looking HOT too!) is achieving and maintaining your ideal body composition. The scale cannot tell you this.

DEXA, dual energy x-ray analysis, the same technology used for hospital-grade hip & spine evaluation to measure bone density, also is used to calculate your percentage of body fat with 99% accuracy.

Here's what you need to do: Sign up at the front desk for a DEXA evaluation this Thursday, September 25th, right here at Pura Vida (how convenient)! The motor coach is here from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Your test takes 20 minutes and there are a few appointment times still available. The cost is $119, but mention this article and receive $20 off.

Following your test, schedule a COMPLIMENTARY appointment with me and I will design a personalized plan to get you where you need to be.

For more details, feel free to contact me at DrKathleen@PuraVidaClub.com or 303.999.2934.

"My goal is to create a safe haven for each client, a space where one can relax, renew, manifest change, or simply be still.

I am dual-certified in massage and esthetics and love drawing upon these different modalities during services. I believe in the collective power of our entire team here at Pura Vida and work closely with the trainers, Pilates instructors, and Dr. Kathleen to make sure every guest and member gets the care they deserve.

As Lead Therapist at Nectar, I am always looking for feedback or to simply offer guidance on our extensive service menu. Come up to our beautiful Nectar spa on the fourth floor; we welcome your visit!"

A Minute with Molly

UNCERTAIN TIMES IN OUR WORLD
Unless you are living in a cave or under a rock . . . you cannot escape the current economic and political uncertainty that surrounds us - and the stress that comes with it.

The situation at hand is likely affecting you energetically, mentally, emotionally.

The most important thing to maintain committed to during times of stress is your health. To refocus, re-energize, re-evaluate and replenish your Self.

Join us this week for a yoga class, mat pilates workout, or sweat it out in SPINNING™. Whatever workout gives you the perspective you need to face your personal stress level - just do it.

I personally recommend Stacy Lei Krauss's back to back classes, starting this week on Tuesday nights:

5:00 - 5:30 p.m. Ex-Tension
5:30 - 6:30 p.m. willPower & grace

Move, laugh, stretch, and enjoy the 90 minutes with her. It could change your outlook on all that surrounds you.

If all else feels out of control --- remember that you always have control over the decision to improve your health and mental focus - which empowers you to take on whatever life sends your way.
