White Phéonix Kung Fu moves to The Aspen Club!

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

fight.jpg

This month, The Aspen Club continues to add to its current fitness lineup by bringing White Phéonix Kung Fu to its already expansive programming options.

Although White Phéonix has made its home in Aspen for some time, it will now move its studio to our fitness facility—providing 10 classes a week as well as private lessons. Joel Castillo, only the seventh grand master of the secretive system dating back to the 1600’s, will be teaching private lessons at the club along with five other certified instructors.

White Phéonix’s rapid circular movements of the hands and feet and accompanying rapid snapping strikes are what distinguish it from other traditional martial arts. The system was designed for street confrontation, in which a person’s aim is to dispatch an opponent in the least amount of moves.

A special White Pheonix membership is required to access the classes. Kid’s classes are also available. Please call Erin in membership for rates and availability. (970) 920-5849

Join now!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

fitness-center.jpgAlthough most of us will be less than thrilled to say goodbye to the long summer days where the sun is always shining and the warm air heats our skin, it will soon be time to put away our hiking shoes and concentrate on the upcoming winter season. With the slopes opening in just over 100 days (wooohooo!), now is the perfect time to get in shape for those treacherous Highland’s bowl hikes and unbelievable powder days.

With the conceptual approval of our Aspen Living Project, changes at the club are in the near future. The Aspen Club is proposing to establish a healthy living community that will be an internationally renowned model for sustainable, healthy living development. With this, the club will be revamped and redone, allowing it to remain the valley’s premiere health club and spa. As we head into the future, we will begin to limit our membership so that can continue to live up to the reputation our members have come to expect. Now is the time to join our community and get a membership!

As a member of The Aspen Club & Spa, you will get your muscles moving in a setting that will make you want to work hard for your health. Member privileges include discounts on personal training, spa and salon services, boutique purchases, tennis and private Pilates. We have a full cardio deck with cardio theater, a massive weight area, a heated lap pool and over 50 fitness classes a week!

We have a membership for anyone’s needs. Please see Erin or Robert in membership to get in on this amazing opportunity!

Snowmass Wellness Experience Featuring

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

snowmass-wellness.jpg

THE SNOWMASS WELLNESS EXPERIENCE FEATURES TOP ORGANIC GARDENERS, YOGA GURUS, ORGANIC PRODUCE, AND MORE.

Tickets now on sale for this hands-on festival celebrating its 5th anniversary

Snowmass Village, CO (July 31, 2008) –The Snowmass Wellness Experience (Aug. 15-17), which was written up last year in the New York Times, celebrates its fifth anniversary and the art of healthy living from the earth up with a hands-on festival that keeps participants engaged, learning, and sampling all weekend long.

Encompassing all the elements of a balanced lifestyle, this unique wellness event offers the chance to hear nationally-respected experts and participate in enriching workshops, cooking demonstrations, al fresco yoga and pilates classes, nature walks and more.

Tickets are now on sale at www.snowmasswellness.com. For the complete schedule, ticket prices, lodging specials, and presenter information, visit the website or call 1-800-SNOWMASS.

Top Reasons to Put Wellness on Your Calendar:

Hands on: It’s a Different Type of Wellness Festival. Many wellness festivals involve sitting in lecture halls listening to speakers—that’s not our idea of Wellness! Wellness starts from the earth up, and attendees can get their hands dirty in this novel approach. Fitness classes, cooking demonstrations and tastings, how-to workshops, a green expo, nature hikes, a spirits tasting, comedy, an on-site spa, and more mean attendees aren’t merely observers– they’re participants.

Learn how to grow your own food. As fuel and food prices continue to rise, more people are interested in growing their own food. From never-evers to seasoned gardeners, the Snowmass Wellness Experience provides access to top experts who share how to grow and cook your own food and eat nutritionally and sustainably. In their ONLY Colorado appearance, internationally respected organic farmers Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch of the Four Seasons Farm in Maine have over sixty years of combined experience with organic farming and will explore everything from the seduction of a kitchen garden to the how-tos of sustainable organic gardening.

It’s an Edible Extravaganza. From chocolate and yoga classes to an organic spirits tasting to cooking demos and a wellness expo with plenty of free goodies, Snowmass Wellness Experience participants won’t go home hungry. They’ll also learn how to design and incorporate edible plants into residential landscapes from Jerome Osentowski, one of the foremost permaculture practitioners in the United States who will share insights into agroforestry and other new methods of organic farming and landscaping.

Check out this Whole Food philosophy: We’re not talking a grocery store, but rather education about the entire food cycle. With the motto of Wellness From the Earth Up, The Snowmass Wellness Experience offers the chance to learn about healthy eating from a myriad of angles: growing to cooking to preserving to nutrition to incorporating food into your fitness routine.

Foster healthy eating habits. As diabetes and obesity continue to be two of the nation’s top health concerns, this festival teaches the tools needed for healthy eating. Mariana Bozesan, author of Diet for a New Life, shares her highly respected integral 8-step approach to life that also reveals the weight loss secrets of centenarians and successful dieters. Other wellness workshops include how to harvest and preserve an organic garden, how to create healthy snacks for people on the go, and how to read nutritional labels.

Focus on the moment. In his only Colorado appearance this summer, nationally respected and popular Yahoo Mind-Body Expert David Romanelli leads Yoga and Chocolate, Yoga and Wine, and Living in the Moment workshops. Romanelli is the co-founder of At One Yoga which has gained national renown by fusing Western culture’s fashion, music and technology with Eastern culture’s sacred rituals and ancient tradition. He now teaches at Exhale in California and tours the world with his Yoga and Chocolate class, designed with Vosges Haut-Chocolat founder Katrina Markoff. Diverse additional yoga and pilates workshops are available through the Shakti Foundation and the Aspen Club & Spa, including yoga guru Simon Park’s popular Thai Massage class.

Get well through laughter. Comedy can be used as a healing art, and Steve Bhaerman, has audiences laughing until the sacred cows come home while sharing insight on how to make positive changes in life. Bhaerman, who performs as Swami Beyondananda, the “Cosmic Comic,” is an internationally known author, humorist, and workshop leader and offers a comedy show and workshops at this event.

Bring it all home. How can you eat locally and sustainably at Colorado’s altitude? The Snowmass Wellness Experience brings together a talented regional roster of chefs, nutritionists, gardeners, and experts so participants can begin making connections to local sources of food, spirits, and inspiration.

Relax and Retreat. Everyone is entitled to a little R&R. Yoga classes, nature hikes, morning meditations, and a spa pavilion all offer opportunities to relax in Snowmass. Each day pass comes with one complimentary mini-spa treatment through Aspen Club & Spa, and participants are welcome to sign up for more as space allows.

Costly?  Well, no. Wellness shouldn’t come at a price that’s painful to your mind, body, or spirit. The Snowmass Wellness Experience is substantially more affordable than other wellness festivals. An all-inclusive weekend pass is only $175, while day passes, keynote speech passes and fitness/expo passes start as low as $30, allowing attendees the flexibility to see it all or just a little. For every yoga pass sold, the Shatki foundation donates $2.50 to a local nonprofit. Volunteers are needed! Earn your ticket for free! Call Anita Manchester at 923-5678 or e-mail at mtnfun@comcast.net

From East to West

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

In a world where trends come and ago, commercialism and consumerism thrive, and the corporate atmosphere is permeating emerging markets, the concepts of authenticity and purity are steadily being challenged.

With the explosion of communication and media, how do we really protect a sense of integrity with certain aspects of our lives? How do we maintain certain rituals that have traditionally transcended money and pop culture?

The sudden expansion of yoga in the United States is topic that synthesizes many of these questions and dilemmas. It seems everyday that there is a new yoga studio popping up around town, or a different lineage of yoga that is suddenly the trendy practice, or a different guru penning a new book on the topic.

What makes yoga such an interesting case is simply the history of it. Developed originally in India, yoga was understood as a spiritual practice that could also prepare the practitioner for meditation, which begs the question: How has the practice of yoga changed? Is the intent the same? And, is the assimilation of yoga into western culture actually a good thing?

In response to these questions, two local instructors have recently developed a new approach to teaching yoga.

River Morgan, 28, and Mary Cate Hauenstein, 26, both raised in Aspen, have spent years studying the different lineages of yoga while also contemplating how to preserve and teach these practices to a western audience.

Most recently, they have developed a system that tries to separate the claws of commercialism with yoga by stripping away the root of the problem — money.

Starting last week, Morgan and Hauenstein began conducting donation-based yoga classes held at the Aspen Club that are open to the public, and not just members. This system allows the yoga students to pay as little or as much as they want, therefore removing the financial pressure of attending the classes.

“When there is money involved,” said Morgan, “there can be an expectation for results. They want the value of the money, which can change the nature of the class.”

When money is removed from the equation, Morgan noticed a dramatic difference.

“It definitely takes away the politics of yoga,” she said. “It is no longer a situation in which you pay for an experience. Students come to class with a different perspective — they are open to learning, to deepening their practice without any pressure.”

Living healthy is a proposition for the future

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

We are all the future of The Aspen Club & Spa and we are all the future of Aspen.

That’s because as we look beyond tourism, real estate and construction, we look toward a future of sustain­ability and healthy living — an opportunity to combine local vitality with economic survival.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to get a sense of this Aspen institution known as The Aspen Club & Spa.

Flashback circa 1978, The Aspen Club: The Aspen Club is the tennis club extraordinaire, hosting pro-celebrity charity events that bring excitement and energy to our quiet mountain town with the big-time ski hill.

Visitors and locals flock to the club to play, watch, workout and gather.

Flashback circa 1997, The Aspen Club & Spa: Evolving to meet emerging trends in health and fitness, new Aspen Club owner Michael Fox relocates to Aspen and spends $8 million to renovate and upgrade the 77,000-square-foot club. And when it re-opens in December 1997, it isn’t just another pretty-face spa. Rather, it is a one­stop health club, sports medicine facility, and spa and salon with an inclusive approach that fur­thers the Aspen idea of mind, body and spirit.

Housing local non-profits, hosting hundreds of non­profit events as well as employing hundreds of local employees, The Aspen Club builds its reputation as a vital community asset.

Flash forward 2012, Aspen Club Living —The Future of The Aspen Club & Spa: In support of Mayor Mick Ireland’s view that Aspen is a “town that reach­es for the best” and is known for its environmental stewardship, Aspen Club Living is recognized as the first project in the country to combine sus­tainable green development with a holistic wellness focus to create a healthy living community.

Environmentally conscious, frac­tional residences replace 30-year-old tennis courts, allowing families, visi­tors and community members to spend quality time together relaxing by the outdoor pool or learning about healthy living in a retreat setting.

Innovative healthy living classes and programs bring the community and visitors together to refresh, recharge and even reinvent.

Aspen Club employees live and breathe the Aspen idea while living on-site in desirable affordable hous­ing. With the opportunity to grow professionally, they choose to stay in town rather than move downvalley or to a big city. Guests, members and employees join forces to utilize alter­native modes of transportation. Bikes, electric cars and other forms of ener­gy efficient transportation replace cars.

Major upgrades and renovations to The Aspen Club & Spa’s facilities pro­vide members and guests access to a state-of-the-art health and wellness centers.

The Aspen community had a choice in 2008, and they chose local vitality and healthy, sustainable living.

The Business Lounge is a feature of Inside Business, published Tuesdays in The Aspen Times.

Kim Moore is the Aspen Life Director at The Aspen Club & Spa, where she oversees healthy living pro­grams and retreats. A 15-year valley resident, Moore serves as a big buddy with The Buddy Program and is the membership chair of the Aspen Young Professionals Association. For more information, e-mail her at kmoore@aspenclub.com.

Zele Community Table

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Interview with Kim Moore at Zele Cafe with Michael Conniff with Aspenpost.net 

Kim Moore, Carmela Tafoya, Michael Conniff

Michael Conniff: How did you get started with personal coaching?

Kim Moore: I was a counselor at CMC [Colorado Mountain College], and the climbing professor—the outdoor education director—said: “You need to meet this woman who helps people live the life of their dreams.” I said take me there now. What a great job! It brings together academics, career, professional.

MC: Why is counseling not enough?

KM: Because you have a certain template in school—these are the classes you can take, these are the careers. That wasn’t enough. So much more that goes into it.

MC: Like what?

KM: Action and accountability.

Carmela Tafoya: Our counseling model today isn’t about giving a people a method and strategy for their lives. It’s just talking about the problems. Just more and more problems.

KM: They get to justify their problem. “Every time I start dating something new, they end up taking advantage of me.” They’re re-living it.

CT: They model about what you don’t want and what doesn’t feel good. It’s a psychotherapy model. You have to ignore those things and focus. I’m a proponent of psychotherapy. I mean even Freud. But more Jung. That’s fine for a particular point for particular things, but there’s so much beyond that. They need someone to look at the broad spectrum of their lives.

KM: People are tired of coming up with it themselves.

CT: They need an action plan.

MC: What’s your training for this?

KM: I was trained in counseling with a master’s degree in counselor education. It was mental health counseling. Coaching is more functional. If people really had a psychological problem, I’d ask them to get therapy.

CT: I think it’s borderline—I’d do that if it’s more medically or mentally determined. What coaches do is also borderline—it crosses borders when you feel more comfortable with the individual. I go to a counselor, a psychotherapist. There’s not a stigma around it.

KM: Tiger Woods has a coach.

MC: So where do you start with someone?

KM: I ask them: “Where are you and where do you want to be.” Where have you been that’s less relevant. It’s the idea of “so what?”

CT: The past is past. Leave it there.

MC: Isn’t there a danger in that?

KM: In ignoring the past? The patterns emerge anyway. Where you were is always present. An example of that is myself with Carmela.

MC: Your own personal coach. You’re a coach with a coach.

CT: My specialty is exercise, nutrition, quality of life.

KM: The pattern for me is lack of consistency. I always get great results in a very short time in whatever I’m striving for. Then it just goes away and I don’t notice. I forget all about that. Because I’d rather eat, drink, and be merry. It doesn’t serve me because I end up not as happy as I could be with being in my body—it affects it all. I don’t even want to have sex. I don’t walk in and out of the room the same way. That’s the weird thing.
