Behind the Brent's Place Kid's every step of the way!
Over the past few months we have had the opportunity to share our stories about our patients. You've heard about our kids like Lucas who returned to his home last week after a successful bone marrow transplant. Your support in the PUR-A-THLON will allow Brent's Place to provide a "Safe-Clean" housing facility for more patients like Lucas and to be the necessary bridge needed from hospital to home.
Choose from an array of different classes to participate in - Ballet Body, Indoor Cycling (FEATURED OUTDOORS!), Indo-Row (FEATURED OUTDOORS), willPower & grace, Yoga and Zumba. We'll host food and drinks throughout the day from Whole Foods, Mici Pizza, Bluebonnet, Milwaukee Street Tavern and much more!
If you can't participate in a class, join us for the VIVA LA VIDA celebration from 6:00-8:00pm - including our amazing Silent Auction where you can find items for the jewelry lover, the shopper, the golfer and the traveler. We greatly appreciate your support and thank you for being behind the Brent's Place kids every step of the way!

Stacy Weinstein
Team Member of the Month
Experience/
Current Course Of Study:
Certified in Hatha and Pre-Natal Yoga and Certified Core Dynamics Pilates Instructor,
B.A. Journalism/Public Relations
Your First Job:
My first job and uniform were incredibly exciting. I worked at the counter of La Petite Boulangerie in Cherry Creek and wore a red pinafore and beret.
Your Wellness Philosophy:
Because we all live crazy busy lives, we sometimes forget how important it is to slow down and take care of ourselves outside of our daily exercise and diet.
I believe in surrounding myself with the habits and comforts of life, like coffee in the morning, wearing socks to bed, smiling at everyone I see, and putting myself in a situation outside my comfort zone often.
Childhood Ambition:
I've always wanted to help people and thought I could do so as a secretary. Once I realized it entailed more responsibilities than answering phones, I changed my career choice to be a social worker.
Proudest Accomplishment:
Several years ago I found an abandoned dog tied to a fence. Taking him into my home until I found him a new family, launched my involvement in animal rescue and education.
Indulgence:
Chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter on top, peanut M&M's and Bravo TV.
Inspiration:
Because of my ADD, my inspiration changes often. To name a few that inspire me now... my dog's whip of a tail at 4am reminds me that someone is happy to be up, even if it's not always me, watching my nieces and nephew play endless rounds of tag, and finishing a session with a client, knowing it makes a difference in how they feel.

A MESSAGE FROM KEITH
 I wonder if there has been a study on the effects of emotions and aging? Do we become more empathetic as the years go by? Does nostalgia play a role in the softening of our emotional barrier? Meaning, does the accumulation of many years of memories begin to sway the psyche in the direction of understanding, empathy and grace? I feel it does. And I have felt it strongly as of late. Is it Age? Perhaps. Or is it that so many powerfully illuminating stories have been sent my way recently? How fantastically lucky we are to be in an environment where remarkable stories and events happen often... where the only constant is change, and where a community of people come together for good: Life-health-happiness. We share a bond with our members that is unlike any other business. I know quite certainly that this is the reason many of our staff pursued a career in fitness, health and wellness. A personal trainer or a Pilates instructor at Pura Vida is motivated by much more than a paycheck. As is a yoga instructor or any of our group fitness experts. Our Spa team were chosen to represent Pura Vida because of their talent in the healing arts, and because of the connection and emotional transparency they share with their clients. The management team, while working diligently to achieve set financial goals, are also responsible for taking care of their specific group or staff. This entails a degree of empathy and understanding that is emotionally rewarding and often amazing to witness. Pura Vida has become so much more than a health club. I send kudos to J. for achieving his vision rather early on. A culture is not built in a day, or in this case even a few of years, however, Pura Vida has most certainly built something special and I hear often from members that it is something significant in their personal lives. Speaking of significance and emotion, June 10th is the date of our second annual Brent's Place event. I encourage everyone to take a moment and think about this: when a child is diagnosed with cancer and requires lengthy hospital stays for chemotherapy, or as is often the case, a bone marrow transplant, families from distances many hundreds of miles away (and often from other states) have little choice but to be separated from their child while going through the very emotional process. Housing is the issue and for many, hotels and short-lease apartments are not an option due to cost. As well, because of the child's compromised immune system, staying with relatives and friends (should they have them in Denver) is not an option due to dander, dust, mold and other infectious agents. The family unit is quite literally separated at the most emotional and important time for a child receiving cancer treatment. Many of these kids go through treatments which last months. Its heart wrenching. Because Denver is the only city in the Rocky Mountain region where a child can receive a bone marrow transplant, many families come from far distances to treat their child. Without a place to stay. Brent's Place offers hospital approved safe and clean housing for the entire family. They offer complete apartments for no cost. The children can remain with their mother, father and siblings while undergoing treatment. It's an amazing organization. Join us for our Pur-A-Thlon on Friday June 10th here at the club. Buy your favorite class with your favorite instructor and help us raise money for a great cause. You can register at pur-a-thlon.org.kintera.org and join us for the after-party here at Pura Vida. In the three years we have been open, we have created some amazing stories. Couples have met and married, children have been born, friendships have fostered and quite literally lives have been changed through health, wellness and community. Thank you for being a part of ours. Happy Summer (finally!) to each of you. In health, Keith Keith Moore, General Manager

TRAINER TALK with Master Trainer Tim Harris
Previously, we discussed the ability to treat our training regime like that of a professional athlete. Our objective should be to follow a program and lead a lifestyle that allows us to feel that we are operating near full capacity on most days. To achieve this, four realms of development will be discussed: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. Emotional will be covered this month. Our emotional state is the component that drives our performance. We've all experienced a moment that we absolutely nailed a performance. Whether it was a large project, athletic event, or presentation/speech, you felt absolutely in control, calm, energized and focused. Nerves may have been present at the beginning, but disappeared at the onset of the task. The ability to harness those feelings and take advantage of it at any given time can be very energizing and a powerful performance tool. On the other side, negative thoughts/feelings (fear, resentment, anger, frustration, impatience) can harm performance and drain our energy. These feelings can ultimately be detrimental to our health. Emotions cause tension, blood pressure and heart rate increase and can be catabolic in the way of hormones produced during stress. For athlete's, this can significantly affect their optimal performance and ability to focus. We can change our response to negative situations and have a profound impact on our overall level of stress. Taking the time to choose words wisely, breathe, and acknowledge body language will give you the advantage in achieving your personal best. |

PILATES
UNDERSTANDING PILATES AT PURA VIDA
Did you know we have 8 incredible Pilates instructors within the Pilates Department at Pura Vida? Outside of our personalities, what makes us unique as instructors and different from other studios is that we encompass a variety of Pilates principles and backgrounds, but utilize different techniques and methods in which we teach Pilates. Some of us have honed our interests and skills by working with athletes, facilitating teacher training programs, specializing in physical therapy and/or injury prevention and rehabilitation, while others follow the traditional teachings of Joseph Pilates himself.
As instructors, we are passionate about what we do and are lucky to work with clients like you. We also have ability to create special classes and programs that enhance your learning and interests.
This month we will be featuring our JumpStart program. It's an affordable way to SPRING into something new. You'll start with six private lessons and work your way into four group classes, whether you are new to Pilates, or just new to the Pilates studio at Pura Vida.
Member investment: $489
We all believe Pilates is not just a form of exercise, it is a way of life.

FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION IS COMING TO PURA VIDA with  Holistic Nutrition Therapy Practitioner
Sara Kosick
Functional Nutrition allows us to better understand your personal physiology through clinical blood and saliva testing.
"In order to suggest a more holistic nutrition plan for my clients, it's essential that I understand as much about their bodies as possible. The practice of Functional Blood Chemistry & Functional Endocrinology via clinical testing provides a comprehensive tool for my client assessments, as well as an individualized nutrition plan to help my clients meet their goals. Every individual body is different. Everyone has a lifetime of variables that have brought them to their current state of health, and the more we understand about our bodies the more we'll be able to optimally acknowledge the proper plan of action."
