By Amanda MacLaren | January 3, 2017

Burn, Baby, Burn, with Inferno Hot Pilates

By Durham Magazine | December 7, 2016

Let me preface this by saying I’m inherently lazy when it comes to physical exercise. I’d rather walk – more like stroll – to the ends of the earth before embarrassing myself doing squats or scissor jumps in some trendy aerobics class. Thankfully for me, there are other options, such […]

Gotta Run

By Durham Magazine | September 21, 2015

“New light breaks as I head onto the trail, beginning my morning run by crossing over the soon- to-be bustling I-40. Leaving civilization behind, the trail cuts through woods, passes streams and winds between sleepy homes. While I log miles with friends, we pass dogs walking their humans, parents and […]

Positive Connection

By Durham Magazine | September 18, 2015

Durham Yoga is here for you. Yes, you, the one who went to a yoga class once and face-planted. The one with bad wrists and a bum knee. The one who just had a kid, and the one who had a kid nine years ago but still feels like she […]
