Yoga Retreat,
Therapeutic Yoga
Take a week for yourself in this beautiful location, at Pura Vida Spa Resort, Costa Rica where you can find peace and wellness with Yoga, meditation, relaxation. Just being.
Yoga classes will be led by Dawn Balfour who is a Certified Yoga Therapist and Instructor from Barrie, Ontario, Canada and has been teaching Yoga for 8 years. You will have 2 classes per day at sunrise and at sunset. You will also receive a one hour therapeutic session included in the price, which explores imbalance through your Chakras as well as the choice of other therapies at the resort (which are at an additional cost).
Dawn's background stems from a strong Iyengar foundation with her initial teacher training in London, England as well as in Orillia and Brantford, Canada. Her more spiritual influences are from Sivananda philosophies as well as applying the 8 limbs of Yoga and Mindfulness to her every day life.
Her journey to Yoga and self-study started when she became sick with an immune system disorder 15 years ago. Being housebound, she practiced daily and within a year was on the road to recovery.
Dawn's aim is to create a safe space for you to practice, to look within and to connect to the seat of Self on and off the mat.
Yogic philosophies are the foundation for the life she lives and through continued self-study and study of Yoga she feels guided by spirit and by the energy of those present to provide you with what is needed on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
2015 will be the third retreat that Dawn has hosted at Pura Vida and each experience has been magical. You can choose peaceful quiet time as well as going on excursions which are offered every day at an additional cost. It is a wonderful time to explore the beauty of this country as well as the beauty that resides within. You will have time to reflect, move, breathe, meditate and clear away negativity, leaving you feeling more positive, empowered and ready to live more fully. This retreat is appropriate for all levels.
Prices start at $1090 USD based on double occupancy.

Our teachers:
Sufey (E-RYT 200) believes in headstands, daily dance parties and love-fueled communities. An eclectic background of biomedical sciences at the University of Northern British Columbia, theatre and art at New Mexico State University, music and spirituality complements her extensive study with master yogis around the world. With 9+ years of teaching experience across Asia and North America, she is known for her interactive, heart-opening and refreshingly honest style of teaching. In class, she channels an inspired mix of poetry, philosophy, power and play with a deep reverence for her teachers and love for her students.
"Sufey's classes are a divine experience. That's the only way I can describe it— I felt like she takes me really deep into my own inner joy, which is such a gift. I feel really free in her class. There are no expectations of me, I can express myself in whatever way I needed to. To create that space as a teacher is healing for the planet. I thank Sufey for her gift of pure shining light with no reservations. She's totally courageous in her teaching style. She's a courageous person." — Hanna Leigh · Maui, Hawaii
Allowah (E-RYT 200) is the visionary behind Yoga University, an international school for advanced yoga studies. He is passionate about a universal education experience that addresses the whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. As an undergraduate and graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, he studied Philosophy and Religion. Yet it was Yoga that offered him the answers he was seeking. For many years, he traveled throughout India, Israel and America to study with contemporary Hatha Yoga legends. Now 18 years into his yoga journey, he skillfully bridges the gap between the East and the West in a down-to-earth, accessible and fun way.
"As a yoga teacher and creative musician, Allowah facilitates my deepening of the physical practice of yoga, breath, meditation and beautiful music. Even more profoundly, Allowah's open-heart, loving energy and commitment to the spiritual journey assists me in tapping into love and bliss consciousness on and off the mat." — Patricia Varley · Naples, Florida

Bikram Yoga Retreat,
Hot Yoga Retreat
Dan Markowitz has studied with Bikram and is a certified Bikram Yoga instructor. He is co-owner of the popular Bikram Yoga Norwalk (Ct.) studio and has been teaching Bikram Yoga for 13 years. His classes are characterized by their energy, timing, detail and humor. Dan loves the practice of Bikram Yoga because it works for all levels of students and it makes you feel great mentally, physically and spiritually. Practiced correctly in the right conditions, Bikram Yoga feels like a moving meditation.
This is the seventh retreat Dan is leading at the Pura Vida Spa. He has also led Bikram Retreats to Maya Tulum in Mexico and in Kauai, Hawaii. We are looking forward to practicing twice a day (Sunrise/Sunset, 90-minute classes) in the beautiful new Hot Yoga studio of Lila Hall. Every group Dan has led has come together beautifully. The students with strong and experienced Bikram practices set a great example for the students who are building their practices. There is a real generosity of spirit, fun and openness to the classes. Students are encouraged to honor and listen to their bodies and practice accordingly.
A mid-week Posture Clinic is also conducted. Each student receives a lot of individual attention and insight. Bikram Yoga is an extremely healing practice as it combines 105-degree heat with a sequence of 26-postures designed to stretch, strengthen and detox every part of the body. It is a truly inside-out practice from the muscles and bones to the internal organs and glands to the skeletal and cellular levels. All one has to do is come to Pura Vida, lay down their yoga mat and start practicing. The healing and flexibility quickly follow.
Bikram says, "I cannot overstate the importance of doing your Hatha Yoga in heat. Doing your Yoga in a cold environment can bring harm to your body. Remember, you are changing the construction of your body as you perform these postures."
Here are some testimonials from Dan's retreat:
"Mind, Body & Spirit. Thank you for inspiring me this week. I truly had a great Retreat, have made some close friends, as well as improved my Bikram practice."--RR
"Seeing that this was the best yoga retreat ever I am seriously considering it (returning next year)..." 2013 Bikram Yoga Costa Retreat attendee.
For pricing and to book your reservation contact Dan Markowitz at email@example.com or (914) 282-5673. Any interested student, either an experienced Bikram practitioner or a complete beginner, is welcome to join.

Amazing Yoga invites you to Costa Rica!
Come dedicate 7 days to your health and well-being. Enjoy a full week of strong Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training. Dwelling in beauty away from our daily responsibilities and stresses is an opportunity to recharge or to go deep within. Our Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training will allow you the framework, but also the freedom, to explore within yourself.
Teaching is simply sharing the knowledge of experience. Our goal as teachers is to cultivate an understanding of yoga and attempt to live that understanding. Let the teaching be our life. Teaching yoga goes beyond the yoga classroom. This yoga teacher training is not about simply parroting information. This training does not support a rigid or dogmatic expression of yoga. This yoga teacher training will transform your life and the lives of others. You will develop the skills to successfully lead a dynamic power vinyasa class. We will cover the fundamental postures and how to sequence the asanas in a fluid manner. Also, we will discuss anatomy/physiology and how it relates to postures and alignment.
This yoga training is for aspiring and experienced teachers or students who just want to deepen their practice. It is a system of yoga that is so foundationally solid that no matter what else you may go on to study or teach, you will have a solid blueprint from which to work.

Yoga Retreat
Recover from the holidays and beat the winter blues by taking some time just for yourself. During this, the 17th annual Kripalu Yoga retreat, you will have an opportunity to slow down, take a deep breath and allow yourself to "just be"…
Kripalu Yoga is much more than a physical discipline. Kripalu Yoga is a practice of transformation - a way to open the heart and develop compassion, find clarity and experience stillness within. We emphasize listening to the body's needs and respecting its limits. This approach allows each of us, beginner or experienced practitioner, to receive the benefits of the practice just where we are.
As a group we will welcome each new day during your yoga vacation with a specially designed morning Kripalu yoga class. We'll learn more about yoga and meditation during the daily experiential workshops, practice yogic breathing to move energy in the body, sit together in meditation to develop inner peace and practice guided iRest yoga nidra. In the sacred space we create together during this yoga retreat you can allow your spirit to slowly awaken and reconnect with the simple joy of being fully alive.
There will be plenty of time to receive treatments at the wellness center, lounge by the pool, soak in the hot tub under the stars, take in the spectacular views, meet new friends in the dining room, and enjoy the many optional eco-adventure tours which are available at Pura Vida Spa. And you will return home feeling truly refreshed and re-charged.

IMPACT CUSHION Filed Jan. 1'?, 1968 /N VEN row HA RR y MA JEs/(E ATTORNEY United States Patent O 3,553,749 IMPACT CUSHION Harry Majeske, Swarthmore, Pa. Woodland Upholstering Co., 6429 Woodland Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. 19142 Filed Jan. 17, 1968, Ser. No. 698,649
Int. Cl. A47c 27/00 f U.S. Cl. 5-355 1 Claim ABSTRACT 0F THE DISCLOSURE An impact receiving cushion which includes an upper or outer soft quick recovery foam element, preferably of polyurethane, superposed on and adherent to a lower or inner harder liquid proof foam element, preferably of closed cell polyethylene. The upper foam element receives the impact, partially encompasses and exerts a drag on the impacting device but transmits such part of the impact as it does not absorb to the lower harder and less resilient foam element. An outer enclosing cover of fabric or the like may be provided to reduce the soiling of the foam elements in use.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention This invention relates to impact cushions for industrial use and for body protection.
Description of the prior art Impact cushions for beer kegs in rectangular form have been employed, these having been made of rope. Such cushions are absorbent of water which adds greatly to their weight and makes them unpleasant to handle.
Impact cushions for athletic use have been made with llings of curled hair, cotton or even conned air, as in Gilman, U.S. Pat. No. 2,526,217, or with an elastomer sponge, such as sponge rubber, plastic 0r the like as in Roderick, U.S. Pat. No. 3,135,961.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the invention an impact cushion is provided which includes an upper or inner soft quick recovery primary impact receiving foam element adherently secured to a lower or inner harder liquid proof secondary impact receiving foam element. The primary element is soft, slowing down the impact device and reducing side slip, and the secondary element is harder and stilfer and -receives the remainder of the impact which is not absorbed in the primary element.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide an impact cushion which is simple in construction, of relatively inexpensive materials, which can be readily made in any desired size and shape, is light in weight, has relatively long life and which has a wide range of usefulness.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an impact cushion which has an outer or upper softer foam element for exerting a drag on the impacting device and which reduces side slipping and an inner or lower harder preferably waterproof foam element which absorbs such impact as is not taken up in the rst element.
Other objects and advantages features of the invention will be apparent from the ldescription and claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AO'F THE DRAWING The nature and characteristic features of the invention will be more readily understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part thereof, in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of an impact 3,553,749 Patented Jan. 12, 1971 Hee DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now more particularly to the drawings a specic embodiment of the invention is illustrated and is suitable for taking the impact of beer kegs, such as those Weighing approximately one hundred vand thirty pounds.
The impact cushion or pad 10 there shown, and which may be approximately eighteen inches by twenty four inches has an upper or outer primary cushion element 12 of a soft foam, a thickness of about four inches having been found suitable. The cushion element 12 is preferably an open pore expanded polyurethane foam of a density of the order of two pounds per cubic foot and up to six pounds per cubic foot.
The cushion element 12 has secured thereto, such as by a layer of adhesive 14, a lower or inner secondary cushion element 16. The cushion element 16 is preferably a hard foam of a thickness in the specic cushion referred to above of about one inch. The cushion element 16 is preferably a light -weight waterproof shock absorbing chemically inert foam. One suitable foam for this purpose is a closed pore expanded polyethylene, available from Dow Chemical Co., Plastic Division, Midland, Mich., under the name Ethafoam, of a density of two pounds per cubic foot up to eleven pounds per cubic foot and previously employed alone for parachute drop cushions. Another suitable foam is an open cell slow recovery polyurethane foam of Scott Paper Company, Chester, Pa., of similar density range but any other synthetic plastic foam having the desired characteristics may be employed.
The adhesive layer 14 for holding the elements 12 and 16 together may be brush or spray applied, may provide a bond by mechanical adhesion, specific adhesion, or both. Such adhesives are available from various sources, including Adhesive Products Corporation of New York, N.Y.; Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., Adhesives Products Division, Bloomeld, NJ.; Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, Adhesives, `Coatings and Sealers Division, St. Paul, Minn.
For some purposes an outer protective enclosing cover 18 may be employed to reduce likelihood of soiling in use. The cover 18 can be of vinyl sheeting, Woven fabric such as canvas or the like preferably impervious to moisture or treated for this purpose, and preferably heat sealed at the meeting edges or sewn or otherwise joined dependent upon the material employed.
The impact cushion specifically referred to above is particularly suitable for handling beer barrels but the cushion assembly has additional uses, with varied thicknesses of the elements 12 and 16 dependent upon the use. Thinner assemblies will serve for impact receiving padding for athletic and other protective garments in the desired shapes and sizes in accordance with the area of the body to be protected. The cushion 10 for such purposes can be mounted and otherwise covered on one or both sides as desired.
In use, as will be understood from the foregoing, the upper or outer cushion element 12 is soft and has an absorbing action and at least partially encompasses the impacting device or object so that side slipping of the 3 4 impact device or object is prevented. The impact itself, element and restraining side slipping of the impactto the extent that the cushion element 12 can do so, ing object, is taken up and absoi'bed by that element but in the event said secondary cushion element being of a foam selected of greater magnitude the impact in reduced but concenfrom the group consisting of closed pore expanded trated form is largely or wholly taken by the secondary polythylene and expanded polyeurethane, and cushion element 16. 5 Said secondary cushion element being of a slow recovery I claim: foam with a density in the range from two to eleven 1.

Wanna make mud pies?
Today was the day. I skimcoated the chimney! I started at about 11 AM and finished the clean up around 3 PM.
I did not have a mortar mixer or a paddle for the drill so I had to mix the stuff by hand. I mixed 25 lbs. of the finish at a time. Hard work!
I ended up using the pointing trowel to load the trowel. I had the best luck with a smallish one that had a toothed edge. I applied the finish vertically and then "finished" it with more horizontal sweeps of a larger, smooth edged trowel. I found working up the sides easier than working down them.
The "thimble" (stove pipe goes on it) took some fussing:
But the corners were harder. I ended up sort of gently patting the finish on and the using the wet pointing trowel to smooth them as best I could.
Here is the chimney after I finished it:
Here you are in the Salon looking directly north. The stair case is to your right:
And here you are, looking directly south:
That's all!
Aren't you pleased with yourself? I think it looks perfect!
The room looks so very nice and bright. I wanna come to camp!
(Today we talked wood stoves...something we never wanted to spend money on as ours is perfectly safe and good. BUT the insurance people have their games to play...and so a guy is coming in the next week or two to give us an estimate. What a PAIN!)
What is the problem with your stove? are you going to get a new one? I know you mentioned chimney issues, what's up with that?
Meeting safety codes and insurance requirements can be tricky. Nothing combustible within 36" of the stove and there must be a fire retardant underlayment under the stove itself. I still have to purchase a fire extinguisher, covered ash bucket, and tools for our stove. Maybe Santa will bring them. :)
DH pointed the stone foundation of our barn so I KNOW what effort the mixing involves and also how tools become favorites for the task. (Also about clean-up)
As to the wood stove, the insurance people are dorks. They say we need a new flue and chimney. That is OK with us, not a good time financially, but OK if true. What is annoying is that the fact is that the stove does not meet code but that they said nothing about that. It was someone else who told us. This other person says that he knows the stove is absolutely safe, that he has no problem with it at all, but that the fact it doesn't meet code means we must get a new one. We cannot delay the purchase either because of insurance reasons. Those guys will not accept our statement that we will not use it, nor will they accept our statement even if we remove the stove entirely. This is because people lie. (Not us in particular, but you know...) So it is offensive to have to junk a good stove. We'll recycle the metal, but still... And to have this imposed on us. And to not trust the idiots in the first place because they didn't even notice it wasn't up to code because of its age (20 years). If we had gone ahead with the new flue and chimney, a new stove later on would not fit the size pipes they are requiring we purchase. Anyway, we'll see what price they come up with. We are looking at a T5 Pacific Energy unit. No money for fancy. I sure hope this doesn't mean no trip out to Edmonton for us...
My diet is limited these days before the "procedure": no red foods like red jello. (that's a food?) No fruit with seeds. (raspberries etc)Come Monday, bouillon it will be. I'm told white wine is a clear fluid...not red though!
Life is strange these days. I'm wondering who these people are that Michelle spoke about who sail through life so easily.
Here is a link that might be useful: T5 Pacific Energy
I think you should keep the doors on the sawhorses for abit, they will make a very suitable buffet table/bar for summer camp !
How gratifying it must be as the Salon continues to unfold.
Will you paint over the skim coat ? And how far in the future is the stove installation ??
Kathy in Napa
Yes, Kathy, I plan to paint over the chimney's surface. The next move is to allow the skimcoat to cure up for a week or so and then I will go over it again with the joint compound they use to finish drywall.
The stuff I applied yesterday has fibreglass in it and there are little fuzzies on the surface, a proprietary sand should minimize them. The drywall compound will fill in any gaps and pores and give me another chance to smooth out any glaring errors. I plan to paint it to match the walls.
After that, the helpmeet will frame out the raised hearth and cut the cement board underlayment. I will tile over that. I don't know when the stove will be officially installed, sometime in early December? depends on when the hearth is framed out and I'm able to get to the tiling.
I like the stove you've selected, 'bug. Very traditional!
(THTTF will provide attractive tables a-plenty for Idyll Camp).
I was going to say, "torch" too! I use the fiberblass fibers in my mixes sometimes.
Excellent job, Chelone! Everything is coming together nicely.
I think that is a very nice looking woodstove, GB! I don't envy your dealings with insurance companies.....
After that job, Chelone, the compound will be a no brainer!!! Wonderful work......
Love that you used the east wall for the staircase and kept windows on the west. Hadn't realized that before. It'll make a difference in the winter :-)
Remind me what's going on the floor?
OK, here's the next installment of the great chimney and hearth caper:
This is the first application of joint compound over the "structural skin". It goes on pink and turns white as it dries,
Here it is dry:
I sanded it down and then applied another coat:
Here is the framing for the hearth area. The face of the base will be covered with either sheetrock or wood for a finished look.
The trim that covers the open space behind the chimney and the rough area where the chimney meets the ceiling are now in place. Note that I'm still smoothing out the corners of the chimney!:
The chimney now matches the rest of the walls:
This is a combination of all the elements I'll be using to complete the job. Stove, tile, mock up of wall with experimental stencils, and a lovely lamp I've been unsuccessful in having repaired that I'd love to hang over the open stairwell. That part may take a lot more time.
Chelone, how I wish I could do all the things you do. Even when I was your age I couldn't do a lot of what you do. That pink paint that turns white is amazing!
That's a great hearth! Our wood stove just has a heat resistant mat under it. That is what we have always had in the 24 years we have lived here.
Great progress, I love your dedication to doing it right. Is the lamp stained glass. It almost appears as if the missing piece is curved and that's why I ask. If it is stained glass it should be a pretty easy fix for someone who works with it. Matching the glass might be an issue.
Thanks, guys. It's coming along nicely and it's been a pleasant reminder to myself that I AM capable of complicated projects. The helpmeet is now working on the posts that will support the railing for the open stairwell. He has them cut, planed, champhered, and was doing the mortising last night. They will be my next task; some filling, pickling, and clear coating.
Michelle, the lamp has been kicking around the family home since I was a kid. It came from an auction and I think my brother got it as a toss in when he purchased several vintage vacuum cleaners! It is missing 4 curved pcs. of glass and 1 or 2 more on the edge (you can see it in the first shot). I've been told it will require someone with a kiln and the ability to "slump" glass to recreate the arc of piece. One shop tried but failed and she sold me a pc. of glass that is a pretty good match for it. I'm next going to try a very nice, local lamp repair place where they also sell antique and vintage pieces. I'm a little nervous about the cost, but you never know until you ask, right? The shade is supposed to hang from chains with the curved part down. I think it would look smashing with the bulb(s) on a reostat.
The shade could be such an attractive feature. I would do my best to resurrect it and put it to use! Then again, beauty is important to me and money is just money. I love its simple lines.
The stove men arrived here to complete the ceiling work on the wood stove. Really, they just wanted to play with Phoebe though... In any case, we took the stove up to 900 degrees. There's a thermometer placed in the flue so we know how hot things get, at least approximately. The smell is still strong, so we need to keep using it for a while, which is fine by me! I'm hoping for a relaxing fire one day soon, not a "useful" one, but tonight is Book Club elsewhere, so it won't be this evening.
The mail arrived while the men were working...and Phoebe got another package from her secret admirer, Mysty! YUM YUM and THANKS!

LOL at 'This old house' show
I was watching an old episode of "this old house" and omg the "before" condition of the house was already better that what I am hoping to achieve by renovating my home....
Dh said that after we work for 2 years and spend every penny we have our house "might" be ready for Bob Villa to come and "fix" it. Oh wait, we will still have to pay the new reno... Darn!
I know! And, have you spent any time on the GW kitchens forum? There are all types of homeowners over there, and I do love to visit "kitchens" and read, and ogle the pictures... but a good portion of the folks posting over there have "before" kitchens I would have been happy with for years! Not meaning to slight them for updating... more power to them... but I just find it hard to relate to that segment of the homeowners. (Many of the others posting on kitchens are old home owners, too.) It's just funny how different our perspectives can be.
No dumber than when "House Hunter" people, 20-something year olds if that, go looking at $400,000 places as 'starter' homes and complain how 'oudated' really nice, perfectly good kitchen cabinets are! Maybe they should all have to go and live in Haiti for a while until they get their heads straight!
have a friend who won't use the toilet in my basement because it's too old!
One thing I liked about my country cottage was the outdoor privy. It kept away lots of potential weekend visitors. I only put in indoor plumbing and a septic system a couple months before I sold it.
Ah, you are all "my kind of people!" Our house was built in 1938. 2 BR, 2 BA (2nd is in the basement) Big room on the second floor but the ceiling is only 6 1/2 ft high, so it doesn't qualify as a BR. No guest room, tiny DR table.
DH's friend can't believe how small our house is.
It is JUST RIGHT for two people, but if we have overnight guests, we give them our BR and we sleep on an air mattress in the bsmt. We don't have many overnight guests. Luckily, our local friends are able to meet us at restaurants for dinner.
I admit to drooling over the fantastic houses and decor on the other THS forums, but we travel a lot and save for retirement. It's all a question of priorities. I have teased DH at least twice - "In my next life, I want a house like that."
I used to watch This Old House long ago until they started these renovations where they would put in state of the art heating and cooling systems, top of the line windows and exotic wood floors. Yeah, it would be nice to remodel an old house and put a million dollars into it like they do.
and that is why I love some of the folks on here. they have ordinary homes like I do. I have a 875 sf house. I love to watch 10 grand in your hand though. although they do put in nice things sometimes, they show you the steps to get there regardless of the materials you use. my kindda show. I gave up on TOH a long time ago. Bob buckled in to the endorsements.
I agree that some home 'updates' are pretty ridiculous now adays! Especially when funds are sometimes best spent in other facets of your life.
That being said, as a mid-twenty year old who bought his first house for > $400k, I figured I would throw a different perspective into the mix.
I bought my first place (1930's tudor style) about a year ago in Toronto, Ontario. Unfortunately, 400k is what is necessary here to get a nice home in a nice neighbourhood (and by nice I mean a 1,000 sq ft bungalow with 2 bdrms). The difference is that I bought slightly out of my price range as means to an investment. We made some really simple renos at a very low cost and had our home appraised recently at $50,000 more than we had purchased.
Realizing that markets fluctuate (and especially real-estate) my point is sometimes these young folks aren't as dumb as they may appear.
