VIRtuAL (ONLINE) SESSION
This event takes place online using Zoom. You will receive the link in your confirmation email.
You must have your camera on for the duration of the event. You’ll need to have enough space to perform the L1 movements.
The L1 Review and Test Out provides a thorough review of the L1 movements, while allowing you to test out at the same time. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who has taken the L1 workshop but hasn’t submitted their Test Out, and/or Flowists who would like a technique tune up. Whether you just need a refresher, or you don’t have time to shoot the test videos, or you just think this sounds like more fun – this session is meant to help rekindle your passion for Animal Flow and support you to achieve your certification.
This online course takes you through a review of the L1 movements while providing opportunity to complete your test out right then.
The first 3 hours of the workshop provide the review of the L1 movements. The MI demonstrates each movement, reviews key points, and then observes participants practicing the moves. They will provide some immediate feedback, while taking notes regarding each individuals’ success or need for improvement.
The final hour is dedicated to the Call Out portion of the test. Participants can complete this portion live during the session, or they can submit this on video afterward.
See the following section for details on the test requirements.
Anyone who has taken the L1 workshop can attend this review workshop.
- Individuals who have taken L1 but have not yet submitted their test out can do so through this event. This includes individuals who have are late for the submission deadline. Participation in this workshop will meet the requirement that you repeat the L1 workshop if you have missed the submission deadline.
- Individuals who don’t have a test out pending can still attend for a general technique tune up! This is a great way to review all the movements, with opportunity to receive instant feedback.
The requirements to pass your L1 test are the same whether you attend this session or submit via video. You can review the requirements here. Participating in this session removes the requirement to record the videos. It also waives any late fees, and satisfies the requirement to repeat L1 if you are past the submission deadline.
You must have your camera on and be prepared to participate for the entire time.
The first 3 hours of the workshop cover Part 1 of the Test Out, where you demonstrate proficiency will performing the movements. You’ll review each movement, practice, and make corrections before the MI determines if you are sufficient to pass.
The last hour covers Part 2 of the Test Out. This is where you demonstrate the you can design a Flow and call it out using the correct language.
You can complete this portion live during the event, or you can submit it on video within 30 days.
If you intend to do it during the event, you must come with your Flow prepared!
If you are applying to become a Certified AF Instructor, you will Call Out someone else with your Flow. We will pair you up with someone else to call out on screen. If you are applying to become an Official Flowist, you will perform the Flow yourself while calling it out.
Your Flow design for the Call Out should address all of these requirements.
- The Flow must contain 12-15 movements. It will be approximately 120 second long.
- Use only L1 moves from the Switches and Transitions and FSS categories. Do not include Activations or Traveling Forms in the flow.
- You must have the flow memorized. Do not use notes when calling out the Flow. This detracts from your ability to actively coach your participant. We need to see that you can coach without needing to look at notes.You cannot refer to notes. Your attention should be focused on the person you are calling out.
- The Flow is an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of how the movements work together. As such, do not perform the same movement back to back on alternating sides as this does not lend itself to the concept of flow and optimizing movement variability.
- You should not repeat the entire flow to the opposite side. Use your entire 90 seconds for one flow performed to one side only.
- If English is not your primary language, you can call out the direction and limb command, along with any necessary cues, in your preferred language. The names of the Animal Flow moves must always be in English.
Taking the Level 1 workshop is the first step toward becoming a Certified Animal Flow Instructor or Official Flowist.
