Animal Flow workshops are open to fitness professionals and non-professionals, as we welcome anyone interested in becoming a better mover!
Fitness professionals are eligible to follow the test out process after the workshop to become Certified Animal Flow Instructors, allowing them to teach AF in personal training sessions, group fitness classes, or integrate it into other movement programming. This includes personal trainers, group fitness instructors, physical education teachers, coaches, yoga instructors, MMA trainers, physical therapists, and more. Non-professionals are welcome to take the course for their own benefit, but are not authorized to teach AF without first obtaining an approved prerequisite fitness certification or equivalent education.

Check for an event in your time zone and language below.
Workshops Overview
animal flow LEVEL 1
L1 is an intensive two-day workshop where you’ll learn all of the Level 1 moves, including regressions, progressions, and variations for all skill levels. You’ll explore how and when to use each movement individually, as well as how to link them together into flows of your own design. No prior Animal Flow experience is necessary to attend this workshop. Fitness professionals may complete the test out process after to become certified to teach Animal Flow. Non-professionals can become Official Flowists for their own benefit, but cannot teach Animal Flow until obtaining a prerequisite certification.
animal flow LEVEL 2
The two-day L2 workshop provides a deep dive into each of the Level 2 movements. You’ll learn a step-by-step approach for effectively training a Tuck Balance while being introduced to more advanced concepts to incorporate into your flows. These include energy transfers, which help seamlessly connect movements, and tempo control, essential for building individual style. You will also learn how to incorporate Traveling Forms into your flows, enhancing fluidity and complexity. This workshop is open to anyone who has taken L1.
animal flow Level 3
L3 is an intense two-day workshop focused on helping you not only bring your own flow practice to another level, but to also improve your knowledge of the science, teaching methods, and coaching qualities that make a Level 3 Instructor. This workshop provides a deep dive into the 4 Pillars of Animal Flow, progressive Tuck Balance and “Float” training, anatomy and biomechanics of Animal Flow, creating style through the exploration of the skeletal system, advanced movements, and much much more. This workshop is open to L2 students only, but you do not need to be certified.
ADVANCED TRANSITIONS online COURSE
Advanced Transitions is an online course that guides you through an exclusive collection of unique transitions and S&Ts that are not included in the Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 curriculums. Enroll to explore this comprehensive e-learning experience at your own pace. Registration ensures lifetime access, including all updates and new movements. This online course is only available to L1 students.
MENTORSHIPS
Mentorships are week-long, immersive experiences designed to deepen your Animal Flow practice and application. Led by AF creator Mike Fitch and our Master Instructors, each mentorship combines science lectures, movement sessions, extensive Flow practice, epic adventures, and social activities. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with fellow AF Instructors, enhance your movement skills, and grow your AF business. Mentorship is open to anyone who has attended Level 1.
ADVANCED RETREATS
These retreats are designed for advanced flowists only, meaning that we’ll assume you are ready to jump right in to working on Flows with advanced moves and transitions. You must have taken the L2 workshop, but L2 certification is not required. You must be familiar with L2 and L3 movements, and we strongly recommend reviewing the Advanced Transitions Course. However, you do NOT need to have your Tuck or Float to attend. AF creator Mike Fitch will personally leads these events, focusing on flow design and performance while incorporating advanced moves and transitions. Attendance is limited, ensuring each person can receive individual attention from Mike.
