Build Stability That Lasts
Smart Strength restores mobility and reduces pain through safe, practical exercises. These classes help you feel stronger, steadier, and more capable — so you can keep doing the things you love.
Has This Been Your Story?
A unique blend of three powerful modalities:
You used to be able to swim, curl, hike miles and play tennis all afternoon. Then little by little you stopped doing the things you loved. And blamed them on aches and pains and then concluded it was because you were getting older.
Then you realized you needed more exercise and started doing more yoga to stretch out those aches and pains only to get worse. When that didn’t work someone said you needed to build strength and after a few weeks of lifting weights your back and hip were hurting so badly that you couldn’t sleep on your left side.
Frustrated, you went to your doctor who without doing diagnostic imaging said you most likely have arthritis and “what do you expect at your age?”

Rethink What Aging Really Means…
The popular myth is when we start feeling “old” is to blame it on our age.
But what if I told you it has more to do with how you move, than your age. Flexibility, mobility and strength contribute to how we move. But most exercise programs focus on improving these attributes without addressing if they are helping or hurting?
With Smart Strength you learn to listen to YOUR body and modify exercises to suit YOU!

Why Joint Pain Persists
Most joint pain is due to faulty movement patterns and can’t be solely stretched, strengthened or massaged away.
The solution to get back to living in a body that feels great again is changing our confused movement habits through movement education.
Motion is lotion for your joints. But you’ve got to become aware of where you are holding too much tension and where there isn’t enough in your body.
That’s why the Somatic approach we use in The Heather Dennis Method is the right blend of exercise to help you feel great again.
And have the confidence you can stay that way!

Classes Designed for Real Life
Each time we meet we focus on foundational skills like core stability, hip mobility and teaching dormant muscles to wake up and turn on. But each and every class is arranged a little differently to create a different and profound awareness in your body.
Here we blend a somatic awareness with movements from Yoga, Pilates, Strength training and myofascial self-massage.
So you can do everything with consistent messaging with one guide, in one place conveniently online in the privacy of your own home.

FAQs - Answering Your Concerns

Absolutely, I understand that technology can be intimidating. We use an online platform that is easy to navigate. Every class is recorded, so if you can't make it in real-time, you can catch up later. Once you get into the flow of using the program, it'll become as familiar as driving your car, and you'll be navigating with ease. Here’s a guide to get you into the online platform. Check it out to see how easy it is!

I completely get it; we've all had our share of screen fatigue. The beauty of our program is that you don't have to travel anywhere, which also means you're reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment. There's no excuse not to participate because you have the convenience of the recordings. And if a particular class works wonders for your body (like relieving that nagging shoulder pain), you can access it again whenever you need it!
-
We've all been there, signing up for something with the best intentions but not always following through. That's where I come in. I'll keep you motivated, and I'm here to hold you accountable. We all need support, especially when it comes to taking care of ourselves, and I'm committed to helping you succeed.

It's a valid concern, and I have a unique perspective on it. If an exercise triggers a pain pattern, that's actually a positive sign because it means we've identified an underlying movement pattern that needs attention. We'll work together to figure it out, reset your body, and eliminate the pain. Our approach is about healing through exercise, ensuring you move with confidence and comfort.

I believe in a collaborative approach where I consult with your chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopath or massage therapist and understand what they are doing so that my work with you supports everything else you are doing.

It depends. Some people get immediate relief and benefit. For others it takes a little longer. This is a process and a practice that allows you to view pain and dysfunction as a part of a continuum that you can address and change rather than accept and be forced to live with.

This isn’t follow-along fitness.
It’s movement education.
It’s a chance to get back in the driver’s seat of your own body.
