| 
3rd Annual Pura Vida
PUR-A-THLON
to benefit Brent's Place
Friday, May 11th
6:00am - 6:00pm
Viva la Vida Party
5:00-8:00pm
Get behind the Brent's Place kids every step of the way!
Put your heart into the 3rd Annual Pura Vida Pur-a-thlon to benefit Brent's Place, a home away from home for families coming to Denver for life-saving treatments.
Participants can choose to participate in 1, 2, or a full day of classes. This year, you can select Indoor Cycling, Dance, Yoga, Strong Body
and Spa treatments.
There will be a fantastic Silent Auction and the day will end with the famous Viva la Vida party, with food and drinks compliments of Pasquini's, Milwaukee Street Tavern and Bluebonnet.
Your support at the Pur-A-thlon will enable Brent's Place to support families like Abe's. Abe never recovered from his transplant but his family was able to stay at Brent's Place while he was in the hospital because of the caring community. This is why your participation is even more important now, so we can continue to provide a caring community for families in the same position.
We look forward to seeing you on May 11th and we greatly appreciate your continued support!

A Note from Keith
 Overseeing a health club like Pura Vida is an experience that has been rewarding from day one. The ups and downs have been typical and expected as they would be in any position. What I did not anticipate was the emotion that would go into those ups and downs and the deep, bonding friendships that would develop with the Pura Vida team and our members.
The 4th anniversary party was a celebration for the Pura Vida team of the hard work, determination and ultimately the success we are beginning to realize at the club. It has not come easy and we still have a long road ahead of us to get where we want to be, but for one night we were able to take a deep breath and reflect on our success. It was essential that we were able to do this with our members as so much of what we do on a daily basis revolves around you. As it should be. In the past four years we have celebrated anniversaries, births, weddings as well as struggles and hardships - all with our members. Pura Vida is a community that is a microcosm of life itself and I thank you for being a part of our journey. Please enjoy the party pictures on our
So much of what we do at Pura Vida is based on the concept of balance in one's life. As important as it is to maintain a fitness plan and be healthy, it is just as important to let loose, laugh and recharge. Health is the reason we are here and our motto of "Embody the Good Life" goes beyond the fitness floor and studios. This leads me to another very important aspect of Pura Vida's mission: Giving back.
On May 11th, Pura Vida will be holding our annual Brent's Place "Pur-A-Thlon". This event, held at the club, raised $30,000 last year for children with cancer. This non-profit supplies housing and programs to kids and their families living with compromised immune systems due to cancer and its treatment. It is the only facility of its kind in the nation. In 2011, Brent's Place provided 87 family stays for a total of 5,274 room nights. Beyond housing, the organization provides programs for families and children with cancer which totaled 7,330 participants last year. It's an amazing group of caring and loving people that work throughout the year to insure that lower income families can provide care and housing for their sick children. brentsplace.org
The Pura-A-Thlon is an all-day event which allows you to choose a class and participate in raising money for these kids. Classes include Indoor cycling, Yoga, African Dance, Ballet Body and Zumba. Each of these special classes is $25 which goes directly to Brent's Place kids. The entry fee includes the class, a t-shirt, gift bag and access to the Viva la Vida party, which is held directly afterward. There are a number of packages to choose from which include more than one class. This year we have added a spa package that can be purchased with all funds going to the cause. There is a staffed table set up on the second floor for registration and to answer all of your questions about the event. I thank you in advance for getting involved and helping this very important organization.
As we embark on our 4th year, our plan is to continue to offer the best fitness and wellness experience in Colorado and beyond. We will continue to create programs and offers that are enticing and life-fulfilling, as well as give back to the community. And yes, we will have a lot to celebrate on our 5th anniversary because of your friendship and loyalty. Thank you for being a part of our club and our lives these past four years.
Pura Vida!

Master Instructor and Pilates Coordinator Stacy Weinstein Most of us probably have back pain and/or discomfort at one point in our lives. Sometimes we ignore it, dismiss it as getting older or work around it. Whether it's developed over time or by a specific incident, there are many things that can make us more uncomfortable - poor posture, improper body mechanics, stressful living situations and/or poor working habits, which tend to lead to limited flexibility and decreased strength. The good news is most can be helped with a visit to the Pilates Studio. Poor posture is one of the leading causes of back pain. You can help prevent or even help cure a back disorder by trying to improve your postural awareness and by making changes in your activities of daily living. Your first step is to focus on how you sit and stand. Do you stand up tall? Are your shoulders resting over your hips? Do you stand and sit with your feet parallel? Do you notice how your body feels when it is stressed? As you might have guessed, stress can exacerbate back discomfort and pain. Exercising weekly, if not daily, and maintaining good strength and flexibility are important in having a strong and healthy back. However, you need to focus on your body mechanics when you do cardio and lift. Using the elliptical on a high speed with your shoulder in your ears, running on too much of an incline, improper lifting techniques all aggravate an already sore back. Most of the time back problems can be prevented. It is always easier to prevent an injury by knowing more. Although Pilates is great for rehabilitation, it can also help you become more aware of your body, posture and core, before your problems occur.
