Building upon the strong foundations learned in Level 1, the workshop teaches 10 more new moves, as well as progressions for the Tuck Balance. You’ll delve into more advanced concepts like energy transfers, tempo changes and using animal locomotion in Flows, while engaging in intermediate level flow design.

While Level 1 is focused on providing an introduction to Quadrupedal Movement Training and learning the foundational AF movements, Level 2 emphasizes exploring more complex movements and bringing in more creativity.
Participants will learn how to successfully perform the ten new L2 movements, as well as how to correctly integrate the movements with L1 to create extended Flows with an increased degree of complexity and intensity. Participants also learn how to instruct the movements and incorporate them into a training program. Special attention is paid to understanding how the L2 movements train the fascial slings of the body; understanding the role of dissipating force, fluidity, and leverage in the advanced movements; and understanding how to instruct a range of progressive drills and conditioning exercises that form the introduction to hand balancing practice.
The full two-day agenda includes 16 hours of instruction:
- Intermediate flow design
- Review of key Level 1 movements
- Intro to Hand Balancing: Tuck Balance Progressions
- New Transitions: Reaching Underswitch; Reaching Underswitch to Deep Ape; Scorpion Sweeps; Roll Throughs; and Crocodile Rolls, Pop Switches and Pop Outs;
- New Traveling forms: Bear, Leopard, Crocodile;
- Using traveling forms as a “link” for switches and transitions;
- How and why to introduce tempo change and energy redirects into a flow;
Your registration includes everything you need to prepare for the workshop and complete the process to become certified in L2. Your registration covers:
- Access to the full library of instructional videos for all Level 2 movements, to download or stream online

Anyone who has taken the Level 1 workshop can enroll in L2.
- Attendees must be at least 18 years old.
- You much have taken L1, but you do not need to be certified in L1. You should be proficient with all of the L1 movements and call out language.

You can test out to become a Certified L2 AF Instructor or Flowist.

Fitness and yoga professionals who are already certified in L1 can complete the test to become certified in L2.
The test includes 3 parts:
- Create and perform a 3-minute Flow that meets the specified criteria;
- Teach 3 of the new movements to a client who already knows L1;
- Demonstrate ability to hold a Tuck Balance
Tests are due within 90 days of the workshop. You can request an extension for the Tuck Balance component if needed.
