Emphasizing quadrupedal movement training (QMT®), this modality connects a string of stretches and transitions to improve endurance, flexibility, mobility, power, and strength. Feel an essense of primitive movement after experiencing beautifully orchestrated flows.
The Six Compenents To Animal Flow®
Wrist Mobilizations
Before getting into the flow of the modality, we need be sure our wrists are prepared for all the movements within Animal Flow®. From a beginner to avid flowists, this component cannot be missed.
Activations
To connect the mind to the body, Activations place attention on certain limbs through isometric holds. The two positions for activations are Beast and Crab, which is used throughout the practice.
FORM SPECIFIC STRETCHES (FFS)
The FFS combines conditioning, flexibility, mobility, and stability. One of the best ways to build strength and own the various ranges of motion.
TRAVELING FORMS
If you've never experienced locomotive movements, this is one of your opportunities! With slow and controlled motions, working through the ABCs of animal movement: Ape, Beast, Crab and more will pose a challenge like no other.
SWITCHES & TRANSITIONS
To connect FFS with one another, we must be able to learn how to link them. That is the reason, S&T make up the majority of the Animal Flow® modality.
Flows
To create the elegance within the practice, we need to link the movements together and flow. As shared by Mike Fitch, creator of Animal Flow®, it is recommended to practice the individual movements before attempting to flow. Once you build a solid foundation, you could be fluid like water!
