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

Happy birthday to my smart, inspiring, creative, funny, and super sexy partner @emboardway. I couldn’t be more grateful to be in partnership with you. You inspire me daily with how you move through life. Your creativity, the way you build and nurture community, the way you are with Tavi, your curiosity about absolutely everything in life. You are my partner, my lover, my muse. I love you beyond words. Will you dance with me? . . . . . 📸 by the talented @kevindhofer

Putting this here as a little placeholder to mark progress in the new year. This is where I’m currently at with levers. Sloppy, straddle, not holding it long. The intention is to be able to hold a straight lever for 20 seconds. Totally open to training tips and things that have worked for any of you too. . . . . . . #calisthenics #physicalculture #movement #movementculture #lever #bodyweighttraining #bodyweightworkout #bodyweightexercises #gym #workout #training #trainhard #fitness #fitnessgoals

Slow and steady. Searching for connection and not to rush things in the new year. I had a great extended New Years with friends and family, all the good stuff in life and am now feeling super motivated to do those practices that support my overall health. Physically, mentally, spiritually, all of it. Feeling excited for this year. I may be deluding myself but I feel like good things are coming. Happy 2019 all!! . . . . . . #handstand #handstandpractice #handstands #yoga #training #stalter #stalterpress #mexican #hollowback #mensyoga #physicalfitness #mensfitness #menofyoga #calisthenics #movement #fitness #yogalife #embodiedflow #handbalancing #handstandlove #handstand365

Flashback to a couple of years ago to a Seattle summer with @sullivanandsullivanstudios. I have always had an interesting relationship with my city. I’ve always appreciated it but I’ve never really been in love with it, as in really having the city itself light up my heart. I have a good life here though and I’m here for at least the next ten years before my kid graduates. I’m trying to shift my perspective though and really dive into the things that make this area so great. Getting outdoors is so important for me, and this city has so many opportunities for that. With that in mind, I got a ski pass this year and I’ve been trying to take moments to really appreciate the greenery and the setting of the city itself. I’ve found also that going around town taking photos is a good way to find things to appreciate too. It’s like a little gratitude journal. As I think about places to go and take photos, I’m reminded of all the places that I do love or have good memories of. And I’ve been here 20 something years, so I have a few memories stored up :) I’m aware too that I think there are probably a ton of really amazing things going on here that I’m simply unaware of. For you fellow Seattlites, what are some of your favorite things to do in this city? Art, music, dance, random happenings, cool spots, cool communities, etc? . . . . . . . #seattle #yoga #handstands #skyline #handstand365 #handstandlove #citylife

Making shapes with my beloved. So grateful for @emboardway , who always is down to play. Who trust me to throw her around, flip her upside down and that I’ll be there to catch her. I got you my love.

Fall has arrived and with it, the rains. I’m actually really looking forward to a little bit of an introverted stretch here in the city where I just get to be with my routines, train hard, do some meditating, read some good books, and generally get my house in order and feeling solid for the upcoming year. I also got seasons passes to the summit for both my kid and I this year so now when I see rain I think ‘that means more snow in the mountains’ :) Seasonal shifts are fantastic and I’m fully embracing it this year.

Getting ready to head off to Europe for a couple weeks and as I’m organizing my photos came across this one. Amity’s face is cracking me up. I love hammy friends :) Going to be in the Dordogne in France with @emboardway to lead retreat then off to Mallorca to scout for next year’s spot. Anybody have any Mallorca recommendations? Places we should go/ stay/ or eat at? . . . . . #handstand #onearm #piazzanavona #rome #friendsarefunny #travel #retreat #europeherewecome

I’m back in Seattle, but still really wishing I was on Wildhorse Island doing handstands with @emboardway. Life is blessed with you in it my beloved...... . . . . . #wildshorseisland #handstands #couple #nature #beauty #island #montana
