Vail Vitality Center kicks off new pilates program
Posted: June 12, 2012 at 4:19 am
VAIL Vail Vitality Center is now offering enhanced pilates programming thanks to the arrival of new pilates coordinator, Kellie D'Elia Laskin. Part of the new programming includes the introduction of unique sessions targeted to specific needs or special techniques designed to combat deficiencies or weaknesses. One of those programs is pfilates.
Pfilates is a scientifically derived plyometric pelvic floor and core stabilization conditioning program developed by Dr. Bruce Crawford, a Reno-based physician who created the program to help combat pelvic floor weakness. Crawford diagnosed the disorder in many of his patients and was determined to find an alternative to surgery.
Pelvic floor disorders are epidemic and include urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, female sexual dysfunction and pelvic floor prolapse. These disorders are commonplace and regarded as inevitable consequences of childbirth and hormonal changes from aging. Dr. Crawford regards these disorders as neuromuscular, deserving of a neuromuscular solution. His research and determination led to the development of specialized pfilates exercises.
Pfilates was created using pilates exercises based on extensive EMG recordings taken from the pelvic floor. The technique provides a widely accessible method of recovering or enhancing pelvic floor strength. Pfilates goes beyond Kegel exercises by using movements that condition the pelvic floor, and also tone the thighs and glutes.
D'Elia Laskin trained with Dr. Crawford, and now teaches pfilates as part of the Vail Vitality Center's Pilates programming. She is excited to introduce the new program to Vail Valley residents and visitors.
Pfilates is life-changing, said D'Elia Laskin, who's been teaching pilates for more than 12 years. Students have experienced obvious results and we're pleased they've found the exercises to be simple and quick to implement in the studio and at home.
The Vail Vitality Center's pfilates program is unique in that it incorporates the physical exercises, taught by D'Elia Laskin, with a lecture delivered by regenerative medicine specialist and staff doctor Heidi Archer, M.D. The integrated course is designed to help students understand the anatomy and hormonal changes that contribute to pelvic floor disorder, and pelvic floor prolapse, and teach the exercises that help combat the effects of the disorder.
This special Pfilates class takes place on Wednesdays (starting this week) through July 18 (no class on Wed., July 4), from 9 10 a.m. The cost is $100, which includes the lecture on June 13, four subsequent exercise-specific classes (June 20, 27, July 11 and 18), and a take-home kit with instructions.

Index Creative Village spreads overseas

Based in the commercial capital Ho Chi Minh City, TVMIndex - a 50:50 JV - will provide international-standard event-organising services, multimedia production and sponsorship management for multinational companies and local enterprises, as well as for Thai companies operating in Vietnam.
The JV is expected to generate revenue of Bt70 million this year, with multinational and local companies accounting for 60 per cent of the total.
Index Creative Village co-chief executive officer Kriangkan Kanjanapokin yesterday said the company had confidence in the strength of the Vietnamese economy, and the country's population of more than 80 million presented a sizeable market.
Meanwhile, international conglomerates, including major Thai companies in the automobile and beverage industries, were continuing to invest and expand their business in the country to cash in on the advantages of the Asean Economic Community, which will be implemented in 2015.
Kriangkan added that in the first phase, the JV would focus on Ho Chi Minh City-based companies as well as government bodies. TVMIndex currently has 13 staff.
Le Thi Phuong Thuy, chairwoman of Tri Viet Media, said that through the partnership, the company would like to see know-how, creativity and innovation transfer from a highly experienced Thai event organiser to strengthen its core competency.
Index Creative Village next month plans to announce a second Asean joint venture, in Myanmar, after having organised several events for the government early this year, Kriangkan said.
The company will then discuss further expansion in the Middle East with its Dubai-based JV, Aspan Index Events, while negotiating with several media companies in Indonesia about setting foot in Asean's largest and most populous country.
"With these efforts, the company expects to gain at least Bt196 million in revenue from overseas business within five years," he added.

The full schedule of special deals is available on the Virginia Yoga Week Web site.
Yoga Week culminates with two free events Sunday. In Alexandria, the closing event takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. with a raffle, kids yoga, belly-dancing and a food drive. Meanwhile, Be Yoga in Sterling will host a vegetarian- and vegan-friendly potluck from 4:30 to 6 p.m. followed by music and chanting. Luckily, even after Yoga Week has come and gone, the opportunities for free, outdoor yoga remain.
In addition to the well-established series in Meridian Hill Park on Sundays and Dupont Circle Wednesday evenings, there are free al fresco classes in the suburbs.

‘Strive to be the best’: Five minutes with Jordan Porter, 18, instructor at Gymstar Fun N Fit Gymnastics
Posted: at 9:14 pm
Photo by Andy Bockelman. for the Daily Press. Enlarge photo.
Jordan Porter, center, hangs out on the uneven bars at Gymstar Fun N Fit Gymnastics with students Heidi Snow, 4, left, and Arianna Anderson, 6. Porter, 18, is an instructor for the business and has participated in gymnastics most of her life. A 2012 Moffat County High School graduate, she will attend the University of Northern Colorado in the fall and plans to become a preschool teacher.
Where is your hometown? I was born in Denver.
When did you first move to Craig? We moved here when I was 5 because my dad got transferred to Hayden for his job and they found a place in Craig.
Motto or outlook on life? Always strive to be the best that you can be.
When did you first get started in your job? Ive been coaching for five years, and I work with kids up to 14. I did gymnastics from when I was 2 to 16. My mom and I were watching the Olympics when I was little and I started doing cartwheels on the edge of her table and she said, Were taking you and putting you in gymnastics. It takes a lot of hard work, and I really enjoy competing and learning a lot about responsibility and just really growing up. You give your life to this sport.
Favorite part of life in Northwest Colorado? The weather. Its ever-changing and surprising. It keeps you on your toes because it could be 75 degrees one day and the next itll be 20 degrees and snowing.
Least favorite? The lack of things to do. You cant really keep kids interested in doing the same old thing every day.
Favorite meal from a local restaurant? The Philly cheesesteak from Ginos is really good. It would come down to that or pizza from pretty much anywhere. Im a pizzaholic.
Dream vacation? A beach on Hawaii. I went there when I was 15 for an All-American cheerleading team and I spent six hours a day practicing while my family was on the beach, so I would totally go back and not practice and spend more time relaxing. I havent been anywhere that pretty before.
