“Stretch to Strength is an assisted strength and flexibility technique I use with my private clients based on Resistance Flexibility and Strength training. It involves using one’s own resistance or assisted resistance from a qualified person and applying yoga principles like breath work with yoga-like flows. Contracting muscles, eccentric resistance, while lengthening them results in affecting a specific muscle or muscle group to effectively and efficiently get into an area of weakness or ‘emptiness’ thereby strengthening the body and correcting imbalances. We understand that what we are affecting is the fascia that accumulates between the muscles causing an imbalance and weakness. Certain positions or poses affect specific organs thereby affecting personality traits, moods and emotions. So, by stretching in this way we open up energy pathways that lead us to physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental wellbeing.

Resistance strength and flexibility training gave me the tools to help myself and my clients understand the blocks and areas of weaknesses and strengths in order to lose weight, have more energy, and feel better.” Darby Melnik – ACE Personal Trainer, iiN Certified Health Coach, Certified Zen Wellness Medical QiGong Instructor, AADP
