SARA COOK

Yoga/Group Fitness Instructor

Experience/
Current Course of Study:

Mind/Body Movement. I truly believe that the human experience is enhanced by getting to know the connection between our mind, body and spirit. All of the classes that I teach embody this: Yoga, willPower & grace, MoVe

Your First Job:
I worked at Contempo Casuals when Park Meadows mall first opened. I had fun, but no one has any business being in customer service when they are 15, if you know what I mean.

Your Wellness Philosophy: We should take care of ourselves so that we can better take care of others. I little bit of everything goes a long way. By this I mean work hard, stretch out, meditate, rejuvenate. Any way you can move will help you get to know your body and then you learn how to take care of it. Don't take anything for granted.

Childhood Ambition:
I wanted to be Gwen Stefani! Oh wait, I still do.

Proudest Accomplishment: Giving myself permission to be me, it's a daily practice.

Indulgence:
A little indulgence everyday makes life full. A few favorites are: wine, coffee, rich creamy lotion, sitting in the sun, homemade chocolate chip cookies

A Message From Keith

Pura Vida Members,

Keith MooreAs Pura Vida prepares for a dynamic fall and winter, we are also preparing to celebrate a milestone in our membership growth - 1,000 Pura Vida members! For the past eighteen months we have worked diligently to get the word out about the uniqueness of the club and the concept. We have spent countless hours at social events throughout Denver, set up booths at fairs and farmer's markets, donated generously to charity events and philanthropic organizations, partnered with like-minded businesses and creatively figured out ways to spread the word of what we believe is the best overall fitness experience in Colorado.

All good and all important. But as I review our new members and try to get to know who you are and how you heard about the club, I have discovered that most everyone who joins each month heard about Pura Vida from a current member. As we hit the magic 1,000 mark, it pleases me to know that the club is growing because you, our members, are happy with the time you spend at Pura Vida and feel confident in recommending your club to your friends. A healthy club is a club that is growing by recommendation. It validates all we do, and for this I thank you.

Happy 1,000 Pura Vida!
Keith

PILATES PULSE
Want to learn more about Pilates? Begining mid-October and continuing through mid-November, look for Pilates instructors at specific times, morning, noon and evening, on the Fitness floor. They will be on the Fitness floor to answer questions and provide mini-introductions to particular Pilates appartus. For instance, you might see a large barrel-type piece, called the Ladder Barrel, which is good for full body stretching. Another day, one of the Pilates instructors may take you through a great ab and leg work out with the "Power Circle". The latter apparutus was originally designed with a ring on a beer barrel and was a precurser to Suzanne Summers' Thigh Master. The Pilates staff hopes to meet many of you that have not been up in the studio on the 4th floor. See you soon!

For more info about Pilates at Pura Vida, contact Colleen at 303-321-7872 x152 or colleeng@puravidaclub.com.
