JOSEPH PILATES SAID, "YOU ARE ONLY AS OLD AS YOUR SPINE IS FLEXIBLE."

So, if you are young and inflexible, biologically you are old.
The various barrels Mr. Pilates created ensured a flexible spine from head to tail, and he called his apparatus the spine corrector. 
Join our classes or private sessions at to learn how to use the barrels and see real benefits in trunk flexibility.

Pura Vida Loves

Root Down

rootdowndenver.com
Arguably one of the best dining scenes in Denver. Root Down continues to serve up great food. The concept of ‘real food’ from farm-to-table and the idea that great food should be accessible….inclusive and not exclusive, echoes Pura Vida’s philosophy. Fresh, organic and REAL somehow translates into fitness as well! It’s always nice to see so many of our members enjoying chef Justin Cucci’s creations.

Parallel 17

parallelseventeen.com
Chef Mary Nguyen, in our book, just “get’s it”. Her modern interpretation of Vietnamese cuisine is a stand out, and the vibe of her 17th ave restaurant speaks to our PV culture. Check out the brunch menu as well as the late night scene (food served until 11pm usually accompanied by a very hip DJ spinning in the small dining room) and you have an experience that challenges the Denver dining scene to take it up a notch.

MCA Denver

mcadenver.org/index.php/exhibitions
Let’s start by saying Adam Lerner is a genius. It’s rare to peruse a museum’s collection and experience an entire gamut of emotions within an hour. Laughter turns into anger which morphs into awe and amazement. Everything about the MCA from the finely curated exhibits to the website to the after-hours events, speaks of a talented Director who is absolutely fearless. The building, by London based architect David Adjaye is his first in the US and is worth the visit alone. (Adjaye was named the designer of the Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center site in NYC). Pura Vida was fortunate to be hosted by the MCA for one of the our monthly happy hours and people are still talking about it. Check out the pics.

Ballet Nouveau Colorado

bncdance.com
Named “25 to watch” for 2009 in Dance Magazine (huge!) Ballet Nouveau continues to gain momentum as the dance company to follow. Artistic Director, Garrett Ammon, leads this company at a velocity that is astounding, particularly for Denver. Watching “Rock”, a spectacular amalgam of modern dance, ballet and…I don’t know what (but it worked!) had the companies twelve young and amazing dancers creating a story to music by Bowie, INXS and Queen. The choreography is truly astounding and you have to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not in SF or NYC. We cannot recommend enough checking out this innovative and important dance company.

Lululemon

lululemon.com
Okay, so this seems like a no-brainer. It’s not uncommon to be at Pura Vida on any given night of the week and see a majority of the staff and members wearing the ubiquitous (and subtle) lulu logo.
The clothing company (which started out in Vancouver by Chip Wilson who was in the surf, skate and snowboard business) creates perfectly fitted and designed clothing that is perfect for all things Pura Vida. Strong brands are developed by creating an authentic culture, and Lululemon has it in spades. It’s not enough that the clothing is well made, tasteful and under-the-radar cool, but the philosophy and the vision behind the company mimics Pura Vida’s belief that life should be in balance, karma is real and trying to do good on a daily basis is essential. We love Lulu.

GivingFirst

givingfirst.org
“Giving first’s motto is ‘Give where you live.’ It is a program of the Nonprofit Preservation Initiative which was created to preserve the future of Denver area nonprofits. Click on the Donate Now button and hundreds of Colorado-based organizations come up for you to chose from. The cool part about the site is that you can go to the Giving Basket and credit an account of a friend or family member as a gift. The numerical dollar amount is emailed to your recipient, and they then get to chose the charity, organization or cause in which to donate.
