Some of the procedures Dr. Bachurina performs at La Beauté Medical Aeshetics include skin tightening, photofacials, botox and fillers. A full menu of services can be found on her website https://www.labeauteaesthetics.com/. Adding more wellness services for customers is Dr. Bachurina’s next step.

“We are adding wellness so that the patient can look good, feel good and in between maintain results that can last,” Dr. Bachurina says.

The spa services clients from ages 13-70. Some advice for teens going through the acne stage? “Good skincare is important. Take care of your skin early. Exfoliation is important, so is what you eat. And always wear sunscreen,” she suggests.

Dr. Bachurina spreads her goodwill to children who can not afford medical procedures they need. She does pro bono work for kids who have special derm needs. “I like helping kids. They don’t work and can’t afford expensive treatments so I put my time in to help them.”

There is no better time than a dry Colorado winter to visit La Beauté for all of your skincare and wellness needs. The spa also carries highly concentrated skin care products for use at home.

A full list of products is available on the website.

TR Y A NE W WORKOU T IN 2020 ADULT HIP HOP

“THE CLASS FEELS LIKE A DANCE PARTY RATHER THAN A WORKOUT!” is what people are saying after trying out the high energy fitness class- Adult Hip-Hop. These classes are available at most full service gyms and make moving your body and burning calories fun thanks to lively hip hop music and easy dance moves. “Our adult hip-hop class is designed to challenge and entertain dancers of all experience levels and ages! We provide a class that promotes body strength, core conditioning, flexibility and stamina, all while learning fun choreography in an engaging classroom experience,” Rise Dance Studio fitness instructor Andrew Cassel says.

So do you need dance training to take this class?

Andrew says no previous dance experience is required. “We have a variety of adults that participate from beginners that have never danced before, to adults that have danced competitively in their past.

We are able to modify choreography for each level, to adapt to each students needs,” Andrew tells us.

Hip-hop classes infuse the latest styles of street dancing, breaking, popping, and locking. It would be helpful to know some basic dance terminology before taking a class. Here are some typical moves you might do: + Popping: Quickly contracting and relaxing your muscles, causing a jerk in your body. + Step Touch: Feet are together. Move one leg to the side then bring it back to center. + Slide: Take a step to the side with one leg. Drag the other leg over.

“In general, hip hop is a high energy style, with movement that works out and strengthens every part of the body. The underlying beat, bounce, and groove is a great way to keep the heart rate up, and is sure to make you break a sweat. We love that when you are in this class, it doesn’t feel like an every day session at the gym. The fun we have, really disguises the “workout,” Andrew says.

If you are looking for a highly energetic full body cardio class, try a hip-hop class.

Rise Dance Studio offers a variety of classes, visit www.risedanceco.com for more info.

Also, you can check with your local gym to see if they carry this class.

Downtown Denver Lifestyle | January 2020

1

The Warm Up: Get your legs moving and pop your shoul-

ders back during this low key warm up. Typical moves include head and shoulder rolls, low intensity squats, and basic stretching. You can also count on some light cardio to get the heart rate moving.

2

The Work Out: This is where the dance moves come in.

“Each class, we teach a combination that is around a minute long. Dancers work up to memorizing and executing the choreography,” Andrew tells us.

3

Keep your hips moving from side to side and do some side steps with a head nod. Lots of movements during the workout utilize all muscle groups. Classes often move to the ground for push-ups and crunches. And legs are always incorporated – lunges and deep squats.

4

The Cool Down: A typical class ends with some stretching

and focused breathing to bring the heart rate down.

WORLD-CLASS PEDIATRIC CARE

Downtown Denver Lifestyle | January 2020

CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS ONE OF THE BEST. CHC continues to make the honor roll of one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country by many notable organizations, including U.S. News & World Report. The hospital’s advanced baby care, brain and behavior department, and cancer treatment facilities set this children’s hospital apart from the rest.

“Children's Hospital Colorado sees more, treats more and heals more kids than any hospital in our seven-state region. Kids aren’t just mini adults.

We know how different they are, and that changes everything about how we treat them, from their growing bodies to their developing minds. Our team is experienced and forward-thinking when it comes to the latest methods for diagnosis and treatment. This translates into less invasive treatment, less time, and less stress on families and patients. We are doing everything we can to help kids get healthy and home faster than at any other hospital,” a Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation spokesperson tells us.

CHC is a nonprofit that is supported by the generosity of donors. The hospital employs more than 3,000 pediatric specialists and has 19 patient care facilities in

Our Ponzio Creative Arts Therapy Program uses the arts to help children express, create and heal in an open and supportive environment. This is a comprehensive creative arts therapy program, with eight masters and doctoral level creative arts therapists, three dedicated studio spaces and two exhibition galleries.”

“Children’s Hospital Colorado sees more, treats more and heals more kids than any hospital in our seven-state region.”

Support from donors and the community helps the hospital sustain their mission to provide top-notch care to their patients. As the only nonprofit pediatric hospital in a region that spans seven states, Children’s Colorado provides world-class care for more than 230,000 children every year. “The hospital is there for every child and family who needs our care, thanks to support from donors. To make a donation, visit ChildrensColoradoFoundation.org/donate.

We are also grateful for the support of volunteers.

The Association of Volunteers (AoV) coordinates placements, training and orientation for volunteers, and our volunteers provide a variety of services for our patients, such as holding, comforting or playing with them, offering animal-assisted therapy through our Prescription Pet Program, or greeting newly admitted patient families upon their arrival to introduce them to the hospital’s amenities.”

We don’t mean to be cliché, but is there really any better time for working on yourself than when Jan. 1 rolls around—whether you’re focused on your physical health or your mental health? It sure seems like the perfect time, but there will also be days when you’re just not quite feeling it. The holidays are over, the days are shorter and, let’s face it, there’s not really a ton to look forward to until spring sprouts. But, whatever your mood is this time of year, there’s still an activity you can do that’s worthwhile—and will give you a boost! Here’s how to choose the right one.

CLIMBING When you feel like you’re in a rut with your workouts and just don’t feel motivated anymore, try something new and exciting! Rock climbing is a great way to introduce something different without it feeling like a workout.

01 C L I M B I N G GYM S Climbing gyms have been popping up everywhere as the sport becomes more mainstream + are a great option for those who prefer to be adventurous indoors.

02 B O U L D E R I N G Bouldering, great for developing power, is a type of rock climbing where the climber doesn’t use ropes or harnesses, generally done on a much smaller scale.
