Hi! I'm Andreas Fetz, a Seattle based yoga teacher and circus coach. I help my students create a healthy balance in body and life — incorporating strength, flexibility, sound nutrition, and a focus on developing a solid foundation from which to build an exercise and health program. To schedule a one-on-one session, get in touch.

Right vs. Left flags. My right arm doesn’t straighten all the way (yet :) which throws off my form like crazy. I’ve been working hard to open up that right elbow so I can get better alignment. My left side (swipe to see) is much more accomplished in terms of form and strength but I’m really, really proud of the progress I have been making on my right arm. #alwaysaworkinprogeess It’s all about the journey. . . . . . . . . #handstand #handstandpractice #handstands #yoga #training #mensyoga #physicalfitness #mensfitness #menofyoga #calisthenics #movement #fitness #yogalife #embodiedflow #handbalancing #handstandlove #handstand365 #flag #handstandprogress #sidestrength #sidebend #rightsidestrong #bodyweighttraining

Perfectionism is such a sneaky thing. When I first looked at this video, my first thought was to get rid of it, since I can find all sorts of things to critique about my form and wobbliness here. And my mind was saying all kinds of little silly things, like ‘you haven’t posted in a while, it should be a really good video’, etc. But this is honestly my practice today. I find myself often wanting to share just the best version of what I have done in a session, but that’s not really honest and honest is more interesting in the long run. Trying to free myself from the perfect and embrace all that is good (and messy) about the process. . . . . . . . #handstand #handstandpractice #handstands #yoga #training #stalter #mensyoga #physicalfitness #mensfitness #menofyoga #calisthenics #movement #fitness #yogalife #embodiedflow #handbalancing #handstandlove #handstand365 #onearm #onehandedhandstand #onehand

Trying hard to bow down to all the lessons and growth that life has to offer. To be humble and kind to myself and others. I’m not perfect but I keep growing and I keep trying to integrate the lessons. May that continue. . . . . . . 📸 @sullivanandsullivanstudios #yoga #forwardfold #seattle #growth #lessons #mensyoga #menofyoga #flexible #pyramid #pyramidpose

One of my favorite ways to really get into the upper back and shoulder part of the backbend is to put my feet up on a bit of height. Takes a little more strength to lift up (or you can find a friend to help you) but it feels amazing. If you are struggling with full wheel give this a try! . . . . . . . . #yoga #fullwheel #bodyweighttraining #flexible #mensyoga #menofyoga #backbend #training #mobility

Looking back through some photos and came across this one by @sullivanandsullivanstudios from a few years back. While I’m not ready for ski season to end, I AM ready for some warmer weather and sunshine here in Seattle. I can tell because my thoughts are turning to camping and planning summer trips. Trying to enjoy where I’m at while still getting excited about the future. Balance in all things. . . . . . #handstand #bodyweighttraining #handstandpractice #calesthenics #yoga #seattle #summer #play #straddle #smile #seattlesummer #summerinseattle #mensyoga

Happy Friday all! Don’t know about you but I am sooooo looking forward to this weekend. The balance of the last couple of weeks for me has been way too much on the heavy/ responsible side of life and balance must be restored. Got nothing but fun stuff planned for this weekend. It’s time to PLAY!!! Hope you all have a great weekend too. . . . . . . . yoga #training #mensyoga #physicalfitness #mensfitness #menofyoga #calisthenics #movement #fitness #yogalife #embodiedflow #fullwheel #yogaposes #urdhvadhanurasana #weekend #play #itstime #friday #themountainsarecalling

Shot from a couple weeks back from when my love @emboardway and I rented a cabin and escaped the city for the weekend. Can’t lie, this hot tub made me feel like I need one in my life. How to make that happen? Hmmmmmm......... I’ve been craving getting out of the city more and more lately. There really is nothing like being surrounded by trees and the quiet of the woods to restore a sense of balance. Nature is my church. . . . . . . . #retreat #nature #handstand #handstandpractice #handstandseverywhere #fitness #hottub #getaway #woods #trees #balance #calisthenics #bodyweight #backtonature #intothewoods

Really trying to add more active flexibility to my routines. I recognize there are ways in which I’m super flexible, but can’t necessarily control through my full range. These active splits are a work in progress but they are starting to feel a little better day by day. . . . . . . #flexible #activeflexibility #activerangeofmotion #activerangeofmotionexercises #yoga #stretching #training #workout #progess #fitness #mobility #bodyweighttraining #mensyoga

Come join @emboardway and I in beautiful Mallorca, Spain this coming November 2-9 2019. This stunning island captivated our hearts when we visited last year and we are beyond excited to be hosting a group for yoga, community, culture, and adventures this year. We will be staying at the stunning Cas Bernats, a converted olive farm outside of Soller. Seriously all, this place is stunning. 1000 year old olive trees, a swimming pool, breathtaking views, and exquisite accommodations. This will be a week to relax and rejuvenate as well as be inspired. We will be enjoying gorgeous hikes, kayaking adventures, swimming in the Mediterranean, a private chef, and so much more. For more information or to sign up, visit www.embodiedadventures.com or just shoot me a message. Link up in the bio also. . . . . . . . . #travel #adventure #yogaretreat #mallorca #yoga #adventuretravel #retreat #yogaadventure #casbernats #spain #community #culture

Breath is so important. I work with a physical therapist sometimes and it’s amazing how much of what she does is focused on the breath (including this clown-like exercise). One of the places she trains - the postural restoration institute - is very much focused on the breath. Just by having me breath a certain way, she increased my range of motion in my shoulders by maybe 50%. Just by breathing! Amazing. Instagram is full of big poses and handstands and such, but I find those are only possible for me when I also focus on the little things, the maintenance stuff. The more I practice yoga, the more some of it just looks like PT 😂. What are some of your favorite maintenance exercises? I’m curious what you all do to maintain. . . . . . . . . #physicaltherapy #pt #mensfitness #yoga #yogalife #mensyoga #menofyoga #therapy #breath #exercise #fitness #physicalfitness #health #training #circus #embodied

Perseverance. Back when I was doing a fair amount of ashtanga, I used to go to classes where this lift was practiced every single time, but literally nobody in class, including the teacher could do it. And it felt like the physics of it were impossible and just made no sense. But our teacher promised that he had seen it done and so we kept trying (and laughing at ourselves along the way). After about three years of trying, one day I just did it. The lift itself (like much in yoga) is actually pretty useless in normal life, but the lessons of sticking with it that the process taught me comes in handy all the time. . . . . . . . . . #yoga #training #mensyoga #physicalfitness #mensfitness #menofyoga #calisthenics #movement #fitness #yogalife #embodiedflow #perseverance #ashtanga #lessons #yogajourney #yogateacher #yogachallenge #bodyweight #flexible
