Dae Gallina

Movement & Mobility Specialist / NeuroFascial Education

Dae earned and learned most of his movement and mobility feats as an adult. He grew up playing ice hockey, spent a few years chasing triathlons, and found his way into the circus and flow arts world with almost no upper body strength and no idea how to hold a handstand. He learned all of it as an adult. What changed his trajectory wasn't raw talent — it was skilled coaching, an understanding of how the nervous system governs range of motion, and a systematic approach to building strength at every range. The guy who once couldn't touch his toes now folds in half and balances on his hands. That transformation became the method he teaches.

Fifteen years later, Dae coaches strength, body control, and mobility — from first pull-ups and handstand foundations to press handstands, planches, and levers. His specialty is the layer that makes all of it possible: building strength through full ranges of motion, and training the fascia and nervous system so the body actually gives you the positions your skills demand. For bodyweight athletes that translates directly — deeper squats, cleaner pikes and straddles, shoulders that tolerate volume, hips that open for the skills you're chasing, and joints that stay resilient as training progresses.

Dae holds a B.S. in Human Biology & Anatomy from Cleveland Chiropractic College, backed by five years of doctorate-level post-graduate science education, and is an FRC® Certified Mobility Specialist. He has presented on movement, fascia, and neurology at Harvard Medical School's Movement & Cognition Conference, UCSF Medical School, and the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation, where he was named Student of the Year in 2017. He also founded the movement program at Seattle Bouldering Project and runs Mixed Movement Arts, his own movement education platform.

He believes progress comes from consistency, curiosity, and intelligent programming — not punishment. His job is to help you build a body that's strong through its full range, a nervous system that works with you instead of against you, and a practice you actually want to show up for. When he's not coaching, you'll find him at movement jams around Seattle, improvising and dancing, practicing what he preaches: everyone can make progress.
