Hello Human Heroes!
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Parker Hurley. I am a multi-disciplinary movement professional and creative entrepreneur. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I was greatly inspired by Eastern philosophy, art, and spirituality - along with comic books, video games, and superheroes. Art (and later movement) has always been my outlet for handling my own mental health and navigating feelings of being an outsider.
I was not an athlete growing up but I always felt a call to move. I believe we all feel that call, as I believe we were all designed to move. I also understand the challenge of forging a relationship with movement when you have no one to guide or motivate you. While superheroes have been a great source of inspiration for me, I understand they are not human - but we are! That’s why we must cultivate inspiration from within and become our own heroes.
Following an injury at the height of my modeling career, I was forced to slow down. During this time I realized that our physical body is just one piece of the puzzle. With the help of a diverse assortment of teachers and guides, an ongoing exploration of multiple forms of movement and mindfulness, and living all over the world - I created Human Hero - HH for short - a movement-centric lifestyle that honors both the light and the dark. (See my resume here)
HH is about using movement, mindfulness, and meditation - body - mind - spirit - to live our best lives. For me, that also means honoring my passions not only as a mover, but also as an artist and writer. While the ‘big picture’ may still be a ways off for HH (the goal is to create a gamified online wellness platform), this site is where you’ll find all things Human Hero.
