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

Leah update

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

 (just a reminder Leah will be one of our special guests on Tuesday Aug 12th for Tuesday with Michael)

Dear Friends and Family,

Day 89 – Somewhere in the middle of July 15th.

The 3 month stay at NuTech Mediworld and my first human embryonic stem cell treatment has come to an end. As I type I am sitting on the plane, bound for Chicago, in anticipation of arriving back on American soil. What an intense, to say the least, experience I have been given. Out of my comfort zone and trying to defy all odds and obstacles that have been put in front of me in order to regain my body and enhance our knowledge of stem cell therapy. With love and gratitude I wonder how to express my sincerest thanks to all my supporters, especially my caretakers. Without Danno, Buffy, Sherry, and Maria the trip as the procedures would have never been possible. They gave freely of themselves, picking me up when my spirits were down, holding me tight when the pain was unbearable and reassuring me I WAS strong enough to continue on…..

Stepping off the plane and into the fresh mountain air; Aspen was better than I could have possibly imagined with the sun shinning, a slight breeze and absolutely no humidity. It really is paradise, heaven on earth, even better… It’s my home. Elizabeth and Tom were at the airport to greet me, help with the luggage and escort me to my apartment. All smiles, lots of hugs and news of the latest happenings around town. Ed was waiting on the patio as we pulled into the apartment complex and the welcoming crew was complete. A BBQ with fresh kabob veggies, a bit of salmon, a slice of tuna, and some flank steak we ate and caught up, picking up right where we left off in April. This time there was just a lot less snow talk and plans to go full moon rafting/camping on the weekend. My girls Mayday and Daisy joined the party staying close to my side all evening. A nice homecoming as friends dropped by throughout the night. I fought to keep my eyes open. Can anyone say jet laggggged? I’ve never been so jet lagged. I’m unsure of the date, unsure of the time. I must sleep… I guess I will listen to my body and go with this crazy sleep schedule, until I can get back into a routine. I figure at some point I will wake up feeling good and normal again.

Improvements After 88 Days of Stem Cell Therapy

1.Posture is straighter/ more erect
2.Total body is stronger
3.Better balance
4.Rt. knee no longer snaps into hyperextension. Still goes into hyper but not as bad.
5.Rt. hand is soft
6.Able to extend RT fingers
7.Toes- I can differentiate movements between extension and flexion.
8.Toes are moving
9.Ankle rotation is slight but better
10.Ankle moves inward and outward slightly but better
11.Stronger in yoga poses
12.Lungs are stronger
13.RT hamstring stronger. Can move against gravity with weight.
14.Less spasms in overall body
15.Don’t take as much medicine/ bacelophen (1 bacelophen a day instead of 4).
16.Better proper gait with weight shifting
17.Hips are more even

There has been many changes in my life; some instantly unexpected, some just unexpected, some planned and then re-planned, no matter how the changes come about, I believe everything happens for a reason. I just hope I learn to read the signs, remain true to my self, relax, and as always enjoy the ride. Here’s to the future… Whatever it may be.

Thanks for the many emails of love, support and encouragement along the way. This journey is one to remember, an experience that has no end or boundaries. With mind, brain, body and soul; I take a deep breath as I dare to push on dreaming big.
Blog updates to continue, as the stem cells continue to grow and form in my body.

With Love and healing light,
Leah

Why should you exercise?

Exercise – Find Your Groove and Move!
Why should you exercise?

“Well little Miss Smarty-Pants, looks like you’ve gotten too big for your britches!” That’s what my Dad used to tell me. And it pretty much sums up the fix most of us have gotten ourselves into!

This smart modern world we’ve created is so automated we barely need to lift a finger or move a muscle to make things happen. Everything’s at our fingertips. We don’t have to walk to work, walk to the store or even walk across the room to change the dial on the TV set.

And, as a result of all our “smarty-pants” advances, our health is rapidly declining. Our muscles have atrophied and the majority of us – about 66% – are definitely “too big for our britches.”

Government Exercise Guidelines

To top it off, the government keeps shaking a finger, demanding we do something about it. They treat us like lame-brained children, lecturing us to start exercising and lose some weight.

But most of us have disobeyed. We rebelliously gain more weight and exercise less.

So what does Uncle Sam do about it? In case you haven’t heard, the government’s latest guidelines have gone and doubled our homework assignment. Instead of a half-hour’s worth of daily exercise, we’re now being told we need to exercise for an hour a day.

Some may be thinking, “Fat chance, Uncle Sam – why don’t you mind your own business!”

Now does that sound mature? Not in the least! So maybe it’s time for us to grow up and stop being so rebellious. As mature adults we should definitely be able to make rational exercise decisions all on our own. Right? Sure we can!

Taking Responsibility for Our Own Health

When you consider the fact that our not-too-distant ancestors used to have to farm the land, scrub their clothes, knead the bread and walk great distances to hunt for food, that one hour’s worth of daily exercise starts to sound like – “duh?” Of course our bodies need it!

Effective exercise has been proven to help protect you from:

  • diabetes,
  • heart disease,
  • weight gain,
  • backaches,
  • cancer,
  • migraines,
  • infections,
  • osteoporosis
  • and many other health problems.

Plus, it’s an essential part of any weight loss program.

So how do we go about this exercise thing? First of all, repeat after me, “If I’m too busy to exercise, I’m just too busy!” And then again, “If I’m too busy to exercise, I’m just too busy!” Now once more, “If I’m too busy to exercise, I’m just too busy!”

There you have it. The rest is up to you. Find a place – a park, your neighborhood, the local gym or your own home – and rearrange your schedule to make it happen. Take it slow and easy, then gradually increase. But do something that gets your heart thumping and pumping.

Health Benefits of Exercise for You

What can you get out of daily exercise?

  • It’s been shown to increase endorphins (feel-good hormones) and reduce depression. So, once you get moving, you’ll feel a lot better.
  • According to studies, exercise can lower your biological age by 10 to 20 years. It also helps you lose weight and maintain weight loss. So you’ll look better too.
  • Sensible regular physical activity decreases the possibility of injuries and strengthens your endurance and stamina. So you’ll be stronger and more invincible.
  • Plus, daily exercise protects you from the host of degenerative, debilitating and deadly diseases named above. So you can create a much better future for yourself.

Wow! In that case, let’s all repeat again together, just one more time, “If I’m too busy to exercise, I’m just too busy!” Now, for your own benefit, find your groove and move!

Indoor Cycling Newsletter

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Happy Holidays.

Session 1 of this winter’s indoor class series ends this week.  Thank you to all those who participated in what I think you will agree was a very successful first session, with record attendance for this early in the season.  We’ll find out on Thursday how much we’ve progressed but hopefully you can all feel a substantial improvement in fitness already, before we actually measure it (that’s just the fun part J).  We’ve done some great workouts so far and you should feel good going into the Christmas – New Year period with almost two months worth of consistent training under your belt.  Well done.

Schedule Update

  • Session 1 ends this Thursday, December 20th and then we take the week of Christmas off.
  • Session 2 runs from Monday December 31st to February 21st.  See below for schedule changes during the first week of this session.
  • Session 3 runs from Monday March 3rd to April 24th.
  • For Session 2 we will be adding a Monday / Wednesday, 5:30 PM option to the already existing Tuesday / Thursday options.  See attachment for full schedule.
  • For those currently registered, please inform / remind me if you wish to change to a different class.  Right now there is availability in all classes – please let me know soon before the classes fill up with new participants.  Otherwise I will assume that you are happy where you are.

Schedule change for the week of the New Year:

As New Year’s Day falls on the first Tuesday of Session 2, we have rearranged the schedule for that week only:

  • The Monday / Wednesday evening classes will be held on Wednesday and Friday at 5:30 PM.  Thus there will no Monday class for this first week.
  • The Tuesday / Thursday morning and noon classes will be switched to Wednesday and Friday at 7:30 AM and 12:00 noon.  The Tuesday / Thursday evening classes will remain on Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 PM.
  • Thus on New Year’s Day there will be no morning or lunchtime classes, but there will be the regular evening class.

 Please contact me if any of this is unclear, or if you wish to switch your schedule for that week.

Register now for Sessions 2 and 3.

If you haven’t already registered for sessions 2 and 3, please contact me ASAP.  Yes it is possible to participate in Session 3 only, but we do anticipate that some classes will fill up and preference is given to those already participating in Session 2.  If you wait until March to begin you may miss out on a spot in your preferred class.  Guarantee yourself a spot in Session 3, at the time of your choice, by signing up now for both sessions.  It’s not just a sales pitch, you really will be in much better shape come the spring if you do both sessions rather than just the final one, and you’ll save 10% by registering for both.  Begin your training before that New Year’s hangover has fully worn off and you’ll be well on your way to the best summer of cycling you’ve ever had.

Please see attachment for pricing details.

Place your order now for PowerTaps, indoor trainers etc.

I will be placing an order later this week, so please contact me if you’re interested in purchasing any of the following items:

PowerTaps.  A number of you have expressed interest in purchasing your own PowerTap.  I thoroughly recommend using a PowerTap for all of your rides, indoors and outdoors, if you are interested in maximizing efficiency and getting the most out of your training.  Since I started using a PowerTap some five years ago, I rarely ride without one, and my performance has improved considerably.  It is well established that training with a power meter, in conjunction with the guidance of a knowledgeable coach, is essential if you really want to reach your potential as a cyclist, no matter what level you aspire to. (Please talk to me if you are interested in individual coaching.)

Prices:  PowerTap SL $1299.99 ; PowerTap SL 2.4 Wireless $1599.99

CycleOps Fluid² Indoor Trainers.  These are the trainers that we use in class.  If you wish to ride more often than your two classes per week it is a good idea to have one of these at home.  They also make great gifts for your cycling friends that are unable to attend our classes.

Price: $329.99

PowerTap 300PT Indoor Cycle.  This is another option for riding more than just your two classes per week, especially if you don’t have a second bike and don’t want to transport your bike to and from class each day.  The 300 PT is a high quality indoor bike (similar to a “spinning bike” ) with a PowerTap built into it.  You’ll get all the information that you get in our classes (power, heart rate, cadence and more) on a fully adjustable indoor cycle that can be set up to replicate the exact position of your road bike.  It can be easily adjusted to fit any size of rider and would be a great addition to a home gym.  The handlebar-mounted computer is fully downloadable, just like a PowerTap, so your workouts can be analyzed by yourself or your coach.   For those who can’t always make it to class, this is a great option for making up classes in your own time.  I can email the workout to you and you can do it at home.

Price: $1899.99

For more information on these products go to the CycleOps website   www.cycleops.com   Contact me to order, or if you have questions.

Enjoy the Holidays.
