Welcome to StretchLab Vinings

I'm a lifelong fitness enthusiast, ex pro-athlete, martial artist, and current Stuntman/actor with a BA in Communications. Throughout my career I've been fortunate enough to have a pretty successful track record coaching athletics at both; collegiate and K-12 as a Position Coach and PE Teacher at an alternative school in the Chicago area. In addition; for several years I ran speed and strength camps for various sports and athletes at all levels. Overall my approach to fitness and well being is " work smarter not harder and keep moving". Recovery and maintenance are absolutely paramount to overall wellness which in many ways is contingent on flexibility. I look forward to helping others in their pursuit of overall wellness and fitness at Stretch Lab as flexibility is a major component in such a journey.

I am Darrick Goodman, a certified yoga teacher, and a man with a passion for overcoming physical obstacles as it pertains to the body. My initial passion for fitness sparked with a love of boxing that started at the age of 14, where I competed from amateur to semi-pro level boxing all the way up to my twenties. This level of progression propelled me to seek and receive a certification in personal training. I had knowledge of the body's mechanics but I now wanted more knowledge on how to heal it. I am familiar with the importance of recovery, pre and post-injury. Yoga was a pivotal step in my journey because of the mental and physical connections it brought to my life. I've been practicing yoga for 7 years and teaching yoga (with a specialization in Hatha and Kemetic Yoga) for over 4 years throughout Metro Atlanta. I also facilitate workshops for men on the importance of mental and physical wellness. My journey has brought me full circle to knowing the benefits of flexibility and stretching and now having the opportunity to enhance the lives of others. Working as a Flexologist at Stretch Lab has helped me to leverage my existing knowledge of how the body heals with breath and alignment, and incorporate the importance of stretching to the longevity of individuals. Upon entering our doors you have my full support and I will be excited to help you reach your goals. As you exit, know that my support continues in helping you maintain them.

My journey began as a high school athlete competing in track and basketball. While I loved the intensity of sports, I often felt a disconnect within my body which often resulted in random body aches, shin splints, and panic attacks. On the recommendation of my track coach, I tried my first yoga class. That same day, I ran the 400-meter at a meet and shaved two seconds off my personal record! I was hooked and haven’t experienced that mind-body disconnect ever since. That pivotal moment sparked a deeper curiosity about the connection between breath, movement, and performance. I became a certified yoga instructor shortly after high school and later shifted from nursing school to earn my bachelor’s degree in nutrition. These experiences reshaped how I approached wellness, seeing it not as isolated practices but as a holistic and intuitive lifestyle. Today, I combine my background in yoga, nutrition, and athletic performance to offer assisted stretch therapy that goes beyond the physical. Each session integrates breathwork, alignment awareness, and body intuition to support deep release and lasting results. With over a decade of experience in movement and wellness, my mission is to help clients reconnect with their bodies and move with more freedom, balance, and ease.
