Cheers to a new year! IF 2020 TAUGHT US ONE THING, IT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS. Living a healthy lifestyle can give us more energy, more vigor and ultimately help us live a happier life. And in the midst of a pandemic, having a healthy immune system has never been more important. If your new year’s resolution was focused around eating better or exercising more, you are not alone, as those rank among the most popular resolutions each year. Here are a few other ideas to keep health and wellness at their best! Hydrate. Staying properly hydrated is crucial for good health, especially in the mountains.

THE ULTIMATE ENCAPSULATION OF LUXURY LIVING IN BRECKENRIDGE. Embracing superior placement on 2 acres in the most exclusive neighborhood in town, Wildcat offers expansive 360 degree views of the Breck ski slopes, Baldy Mountain, the gondola in motion, while simultaneously, taking in views of the entire town that twinkles exquisitely each night.

DESIGNED BY RENOWNED SUZANNE ALLEN-GUERRA ARCHITECTS, this escape creates an overwhelming grandiose first impression with a traditional luxe experience. The open layout of the main floor creates a seamless entertaining space, connecting the oversized dining room, into the inviting living room, and ultimately leading into the updated kitchen with top of the line appliances. The expanse of windows and skylights floods the home with light that reflects against the exotic wood finishes and brings in the mountainous landscapes which can be seen broadly from any room. The house accommodates 6,200 square feet of living space plus a massive wrap around multi level deck that leads to an extravagant fire pit that glows skywards against the exterior. Luxury and tranquility flows throughout the entire home including the lower level that combines 2 bedrooms, a guest suite, and abundantly more living space. More than a quarter of a million was invested in a state of the art movie theatre. Attention to detail is never absent in this masterpiece. Private gondola access that takes you either into town or to the slopes plus private access to the Nordic Trail gives you the perfect mountain living paradise for each season. This Wildcat residence in the exclusive Shock Hill neighborhood has never been offered to the market until now.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE (CONTINUED)

THE DENVER YOGI Lindsay Kate Hanz is rooted in wellness. As a certified Yoga teacher, Alignment Coach, and manager of the athletic and lifestyle retailer Lululemon in Cherry Creek, she lives and breathes all things healthy and whole. “I am passionate about inspiring others to find their voice while encouraging them to lean into courage over comfort, supporting them in identifying their authentic self,” Hanz shares. Her values are grounded in empowerment through vulnerability while coaching people towards leadership through movement, writing, and photography. During the current health crisis, Hanz was called to shift her approach towards movement specifically, adapting to the changes in lifestyle that the world has undergone. She began teaching virtual Yoga classes and coaching sessions during the pandemic. Promoting the message that our relationship to movement is always evolving, just as we are, and acknowledging our efforts along the journey is crucial to our mental wellness. “Sometimes this looks like a morning meditation followed by a cycling class, and sometimes it means meeting myself where I’m at with grace and compassion, skipping the workout and reading or writing instead,” says Hanz. Positive intentions are another modality towards wellness that Hanz practices. “I believe the way you start your morning can have such a profound impact on how you show up for the rest of your day. When we start our mornings with intention, we navigate our days from a different headspace. It changes how we make decisions and respond to things around us.” Practice these affirmations as you begin each day anew: 01 Today I am grateful for... 02 Today, I want to feel... 03 I admire and acknowledge myself for...
