Angie and Heidi met in a yoga class. Over time, they developed a friendship that would lead to the perfect partnership for their yoga studio dream, Harbor Yoga. They wanted to create a studio that allowed students to not only meet goals but exceed them in a hardcore but fun way. "Harbor" means "A safe place; a refuge" and that is exactly what the owners strive to create during each practice.

Debbie's passion for distance running began almost 15 years ago after the birth of her first child. The years between college, graduate school and motherhood had turned this once active high school runner into an overweight smoker. Wanting to set a better example for her child, Debbie decided to make a commitment to getting in shape and losing weight. Running seemed to be the easiest thing to do with a baby in tow, so for her 28th birthday (just after her daughter was born) she asked for a running stroller, shoes and a Walkman (yes, I'm that old!). 16 months later, she was 35 pounds less than her pre-pregnancy weight and ran her first marathon in Columbus where she qualified for the Boston Marathon.
