Throughout the 2 day curriculum, you’ll learn the 6 components of Animal Flow, including Wrist Mobilizations; Activations; Traveling Forms; Form Specific Stretches; Switches and Transitions, and Flows.
Day one is focused on building the foundations of your Animal Flow practice. You’ll begin by learning the scientific, evidence-based benefits of Quadrupedal Movement Training along with the Four Pillars that the AF system is built upon. The movements covered in day one ranges from Activations to the “ABC’s” of Traveling Forms and finishes with an introduction to Switches & Transitions.
Day two systematically builds upon the movements that were taught in day one, with a strong emphasis on movement fluidity. The day begins with a series of full body mobilizing sequences known as Form Specific Stretches, followed by 4 categories of Switches & Transitions. The day concludes with a sample Flow known as the Beast Flow, where all the movements covered in the course come together. The focus of day two is not only on the proper execution of each movement, but includes flow design, the animal flow language and how to integrate the AF techniques into your clients programming.

CERTIFIED ANIMAL FLOW INSTRUCTORS
Fitness professionals are eligible to become Certified AF Instructors, allowing them to teach AF in personal training sessions or group fitness classes, and/or integrate it into other fitness programming. To become certified, participants must complete the test out process after the workshop and provide proof of credentials as a fitness, yoga or martial arts professional. The test out process includes completing an online 30-question exam, and then submitting two videos that demonstrate specific areas of proficiency. Students have up to 180 days after the workshop to complete the test out process without a late fee.
If you have questions regarding whether your fitness professional credentials would qualify you to become certified, please email [email protected]. While credential types vary widely between regions and disciplines, we generally look for certifications or degrees in relevant fields (fitness, yoga, physical therapy, exercise science, martial arts) from accreditation organizations. We do not accept nutrition or life coaching certifications.
OFFICIAL FLOWIST
Non-professionals are welcome to take the course for their own benefit, though are not eligible to become a Certified AF Instructor without first attaining a qualifying fitness credential. These individuals can complete the test out process to attain the title of Official Flowist.
If someone has earned the title of Official Flowist and then goes on to attain a professional fitness credential, they can update their title to Certified Instructor.
