Finding My Body’s Way with Nia Dance

June 12, 2014 by Angie Macdonald 2 Comments

Nia Technique class

It’s a Saturday afternoon in East Dulwich. Outside it’s pouring with rain, but inside Push Studios, I’m with a group of women moving to music.

Along the way, I’ve tried numerous diets and different approaches to healthy eating.  The diets didn’t […]

Nordic Walking for Weight Loss

April 14, 2012 by Angie Macdonald Leave a Comment

male and female nordic walkers

There’s a crazy woman who’s taken to walking around my local park.  She wears a peak cap and sunglasses to disguise herself, pants and sweats as she strides along, is plugged into an iPod, and most disturbingly, uses two ski-like poles to propel herself along. Yes, you guessed it, the crazy woman is me, and […]

Hi, I’m Angie Macdonald
