Living Lean Partners with Moraga-based Star Pilates
www.thelivingleanprogram.com
A few years ago, Sheena Lakhotia created "Living Lean," a fully customizable nutrition and exercise program. She developed her business by partnering with local restaurants and food businesses to provide her customers and others with balanced nutrition on-the- go. She has now established a partnership with Miles Morsey, owner of Star Pilates in Moraga. "The new location will provide convenience for Moraga residents and will allow me to train them on the Pilates reformer, which is a great complement to the strength cardiovascular workouts and yoga that we are currently offering. Optimal fitness requires variety, challenge, and consistency. Convenience and a complete repertoire are important for success," says Lakhotia. The original Living Lean trainers will be working in all three locations, the two studios in Orinda and at Morsey's studio, 1460 Moraga Road. The studio is open 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Closed: Kopitiam in Lafayette
3647, Mt Diablo Blvd. Lafayette
It seems like only a few months ago we talked in this column of Kopitiam, the Singaporean restaurant located next to Trader Joe's. The light and tasty food was a favorite of many residents, but the owner had to close his business. In its place, a new Lava Pit Hawaiian Grill is scheduled to open soon. Lava Pit is also at Theater Square in Orinda.
