At Stretch Yoga Therapy, we don’t just stretch bodies—we support healing, one breath and stretch at a time.
 
What makes your business different, competitive, or unique?
Stretch Yoga Therapy offers a high-touch, holistic experience that blends therapeutic stretching with mindful movement, breathwork, and body awareness. What makes us unique is our personalized, wellness-focused approach—designed not just to increase flexibility, but to help you slow down, reset, and reconnect. Led by Kevin Dillard, our sessions feel more like a wellness ritual than a routine appointment. It’s where restoration meets intention, supporting a lifestyle of balance, longevity, and elevated well-being.

What is the nicest thing a customer has ever said about your business?
One of the most meaningful things a client shared was, “This is more than just stretching—this is healing. I’ve never felt so connected to my body and at peace in my mind.” That moment captured everything we aim to offer at Stretch Yoga Therapy. Clients often tell us they leave sessions feeling lighter, more open, and deeply cared for—physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s comments like these that remind us why we do what we do: to create an experience that goes beyond the body, helping people reclaim their wellness and feel truly at home within themselves.
 
How has your business found value in your membership with the Gilbert Chamber?
Joining the Gilbert Chamber has been one of the best decisions for my business. The referrals I’ve received have brought in clients who truly value what I offer, and the connections I’ve made with other professionals have been both inspiring and supportive. It feels like being part of a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed. As a wellness provider, it means a lot to connect with people who share that same passion for helping others thrive. I’m grateful to be a part of it.
 
What Motivates you professionally?
What motivates me is seeing people reconnect with their bodies and realize they don’t have to live in pain or stress. Helping someone move more freely, breathe more deeply, and feel more present—that’s what drives me. I’ve always believed healing begins with awareness, and I’m passionate about creating space for that healing through stretch therapy and mindful movement. Every session is a chance to support someone’s journey toward better health and balance. Knowing that I can be a part of that transformation—that’s what keeps me inspired and grounded in this work.

What do you consider to be your greatest success?
My greatest success has been building a practice that truly helps people heal—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Stretch Yoga Therapy started as a vision rooted in compassion and purpose, and seeing it come to life has been incredibly rewarding. Every time a client tells me they’re moving without pain, sleeping better, or simply feeling more at ease in their body, I’m reminded that success isn’t just about growth—it’s about impact. Creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to care for themselves—that’s what I’m most proud of.
 
Who do you look up to or admire?
I deeply admire those who have dedicated their lives to the healing arts—teachers and practitioners who embody presence, compassion, and wisdom in their work. In the yoga world, I’ve been inspired by pioneers who bridge ancient practice with modern science, making healing accessible and embodied. In stretch therapy and bodywork, I look up to mentors who see the body as more than muscle and bone—but as a reflection of emotion, energy, and experience. Their ability to guide others with both skill and heart continues to shape how I show up for my clients every day.

When you're not working where, in Gilbert, do you spend your time?
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me on my mat deepening my own yoga practice, getting a good lift in at the gym, or out hiking in nature to recharge. I love taking walks through the Riparian Preserve—it’s one of my favorite spots to reset. And when it’s time to unwind, I’m usually catching good food vibes in Downtown Gilbert with my family. Whether it’s movement, mindfulness, or just being present with loved ones, I try to keep my free time grounded in what fills me up.
