Strength and Stretch
Building Muscle with Mobility
Course Summary
Get a full-body workout by toning your muscles and improving the range of motion in your joints. Exercises are designed to improve blood, lymph and neurological flow head to toe in key areas impacting whole body health.
This series is targeted for people finding more aches and pains than they used to have, and wondering if you can ever move again comfortably. Yes you can! It is especially approachable for people told by a medical professional to get moving. If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis, osteopenia, Parkinson's, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal issues, or plantar fasciitis, as long as you have been cleared to exercise, and have strength to get up and down from the floor, the exercises are 'safe' for you.
The series teaches you how to adapt the exercises for your body, making them just the right challenge for each person. This exercise program is based in biomechanics using body weight, resistance bands, foam half-rollers and yoga blocks to build our capacity to move well. Students need to bring a sense of humor and spirit of community as we support each other all in good fun.
Accessibility Statement: Stretch and Strength classes are instructed in Spoken English with captions available for all recorded content.

Denise Wellin
Hello! I’m Denise Wellin. I’m a Certified Personal Trainer-Restorative Exercise Specialist™ (CPT-RES™), Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT200) and studying for my ISSA Certified Personal Trainer + Precision Nutrition Certificates (both expected 2021). I began learning sign language when I was young as I wanted to communicate with a family friend who was deaf. That led to my first career as a sign language interpreter. When that career caused a repetitive motion injury (tendinitis), I started a journey into health, wellness and pain management that continues today.
I founded WellinLife when I realized the movements we do all day long nourish our body more than an exercise session. I believe in weaving yoga, mindset health and movement curiosity into daily life. I study anatomy, biomechanics, and the psycho-social influence our moving plays on living in with an effective mindset and pain free body well into our advanced ages.
For optimal well-being, we need to learn how to move well, move often, relax well, and relax often. The combination of yoga asanas, breathwork, restorative exercise, and resistance training can support our lifelong, day-to-day, moment-to-moment, healthy movement habits.
Are you ready to get comfortable in bare feet, moving from floor to standing, twisting, bending, balancing, reaching, breathing?
Are you ready to enjoy the hobbies and activities you love to do with more energy and stamina?
Are you ready to appreciate everything your body is capable of doing no matter your age or current fitness level?
Let's get moving!
