Stewart Strawbridge is an established presence in the Portland, Maine financial community and serves as managing partner of Selkirk Partners. Focused on wellness in his daily life, Stewart Strawbridge is currently working with his wife Liz, a physician, to set in place a community health center that will feature a coordinated range of offerings, from yoga to meditation. One of the distinct benefits of yoga is the way in which it can address lower back issues. Poses such as downward facing dog serve to decompress and extend the spine across its entire length. The pose also stretches and strengthens the hamstrings, which are essential in providing support and enabling proper back and hip posture. Another familiar pose that stretches the length of spine, as well as the hips, is the cat and cow pose. This begins on the hands and knees, with the tailbone and chest lifted up toward the ceiling with the inward breath. On the exhale the back is arched and the head is dropped, while pressing through the shoulder blades.

As cofounder of Selkirk Partners, a global equity firm with locations in Chatham, New Jersey, and Wilmington, Delaware, Stewart Strawbridge serves as the firm’s managing director. When not in the office, Stewart Strawbridge enjoys racing horses, including his horse Guts for Garters, which competed in the 2016 Maryland Hunt Cup. Established in 1894, the Maryland Hunt Club began when members of the Elkridge Fox Hunting Club challenged members of Green Spring Valley Hunt Club to a timber race. In 1922, the race officially moved to Worthington Valley in Reisterstown, Maryland, where the race has permanently stayed. Today, the event occurs on the last Saturday of April, and it covers four miles and 22 fences. For the 120th edition of the country’s best-known timber race, Senior Senator won the event, which was held on April 30, 2016. The horse, owned by Irvin L. Crawford II, ran the four miles in 9:11. Guts for Garters, came in second for the $100,000 race after securing first place in 2014 and second place in 2015. The rest of the field saw Drift Society finishing third, Serene Harbor fourth, and last year’s winner Imperial Way taking fifth place. |
