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!

I really enjoyed class! I've been looking to get into primal movement and functional fitness and was excited to see something like this that's so rare in the DMV. Marcus is a fun and knowledgeable instructor.

One class with Marcus and I was hooked! I certainly find the movements we do in class both mentally engaging and set at the right level of physical challenge, but Marcus really makes the class great! Marcus clearly knows his stuff, but more importantly, he is always so kind and encouraging to class participants.
