About Doreen Rivera

Doreen Rivera has been called the Godmother of stretch. For over 30 years, she has been developing and refining The Bodyful Mind ProcessTM. Doreen first brought her stretch techniques into the exercise world through her affiliation with Jane Fonda’s Workout. As a result, stretch classes have become a staple in the exercise world we know today.

She was on the Board of Directors for Femmy DeLyser’s ground-breaking pregnancy program, also at Jane Fonda’s Workout. She has taught her program at UCLA Department of Biological Sciences Extension Division and Dr. Leroy Perry’s International Sportscience Institute. She was Health Editor for the original Latina magazine. Doreen also served as John Travolta’s stretch coach for his role in “Saturday Night Fever.”

Her first video, “Stretch for Life,” was reviewed by Shape magazine as the # 1 stretch video in the United States and Canada. Her video was recommended in Cher’s book, “Forever Fit.” Her work is the inspiration for many exercise programs, videos and books.
