PUR 411
Embracing the Essence of Fall

Sunday, September 27th
2-6 pm

As seasons change, so does our energetic awareness. With brisker days and crisper senses, we may find ourselves running busily about. But there is much to be gained by honoring focused stillness at this time.

We are transforming the 4th floor of Pura Vida to reflect mind/body health.

NECTAR SPA will be serving warm cider and offering chair massages to all participants.

A Message From Keith

Pura Vida Members,

Keith MooreSo wonderful to see all of you at the member happy hour event Wednesday night at Vita restaurant in the Highlands. Quite honestly we were a bit concerned that having the party across town might limit the turn-out. I was thrilled to see over 100 members and guests enjoying one of the final outdoor happy hours of the season. Thanks for coming and sharing Pura Vida.
 
I want to jump right in to some of the fantastic programs and events we've put together at the club for the weeks ahead. First off, I'd like to welcome Rack and Roll to Pura Vida. Kim Dozier and her team head-up our newest boutique on Floor 2. Kim's expertise is in fun, hip clothing for both men and women. All under the $100 price point. She is a master at fitting and sizing, and spends a good deal of time traveling and buying around the country what is hot in the world of fashion. Check out her sense of style in the Rack and Roll boutique.
 
Fall is a time for reflection as well as a time to prepare for the rapidly changing cool seasons ahead. I feel strongly that the body and mind instinctively prepare us for this change, however, a little bit of focus and a soft hand to nudge us forward and get us mentally prepared is a wonderful way to welcome autumn. Join us on September 27th, starting at 2 pm, to experience a few hours to Embrace the Essence of Fall. We will be taking the entire 4th floor and creating a day of meditation, Pilates, and yoga, all with the fall equinox in mind. As well, Nectar Spa will will be offering warm cider and chair massages for all that sign up. If you have yet to experience meditation with Roseanna Frechette, be kind to yourself and experience a gentle way to move the mind. Everyone is welcome and encouraged, and best of all, the entire program is free to members. Please reserve your space at the reservation desk.
 
MoVe is our new dynamic hybrid of Pilates and group fitness. It is an amazing workout in a group environment. The class strengthens your core with stabilization, as well as stretches your spine to encourage fluid and limber movement. In a word, it's awesome! And in another great word, its free! Our trainers and instructors have spent many hours preparing for the launch of this program and you should definitely check it out.
 
There are many, many more classes, programs, parties and events happening all season (see below). We have worked diligently, with our members in mind, to offer the best and most cutting-edge programming this season. We have also worked hard to make these offerings free to you as a member. Please take advantage of them and enjoy Pura Vida.
 
Happy Fall!
Keith

Holistic Nutrition
IS YOUR BODY OUT OF BALANCE?
holistic nutritionIt is a mistake to assume that your daily headache, chronic fatigue, or restless sleep is not in any way related to the food you put in your body. This is not your body's "normal" response to a healthy balanced diet.

If you suffer from stomach aches, constipation, acid reflux, lack of energy, or any "symptom" your body is out of balance! Analyzing and changing your diet can reverse and/or eliminate these symptoms. Get in touch with your body through food and make each day a healthier one

STRESS MAKES YOU SICK, LITERALLY
It is not a new concept that people who are stressed are often also sick. Whether it's the common cold, headaches, digestion abnormalities, respiratory infections, inflammation, or just low energy, people who deal with a variety of stressors are far more likely to develop chronic diseases and sicknesses. I am not just referring to the deadlines at work, but your stress at home, your environmental and dietary stressors, your marathon training, and the "simple" balance of life.  

We could all use a little help from the PV team in helping to de-stress; from meditation and yoga, to a Nectar massage, but what about Nutrition? Did you know that the foods you eat are directly effecting your mood and your ability to handle stress in your life?  What if you could wake up with more energy, get through the day feeling confident, motivated, and successful, and with only a few positive changes to your diet?  

Join me and take action in what may arguably be the most inportant aspect of your health now, and your health in the future. I am offering complimentary 30-minute consultations through the end of September to help get you (our PV members) on the right track.  Please contact me for more details, and to schedule your consult today. 

For further nutrition advice or assessments, contact Sara Kosick, CPT, NTP at 303.321.7872 x 134 or sarak@puravidaclub.com.
