When most people hear the name Animal Flow, they assume they’re going to be mimicking animals. However, while we do use some traveling forms, the “animal” in Animal Flow refers to the Human animal. As such, Animal Flow is simply tapping into the ability to improve our connection, communication, and function by putting our hands and feet in contact with the ground. 

At its very core Animal Flow is a system that bridges the gap between all other physical practices, in pursuit of previously unknown levels of physical proficiency. It is built on four pillars: Connection (brain & body), Performance, Resilience, and Community. 

Animal Flow is a very specific type of Quadrupedal Movement Training. But what is QMT? When broken down word for word, Quadrupedal indicates that there are 4 points of contact with the ground, Movement means we’re experiencing motion in multiple planes with variable loads, and Training is evidently indicating a type of practice. QMT is a relatively new area of research and most of the studies have utilized Animal Flow systems to study the effects of QMT on the body and brain. 

The benefits uncovered from these studies range from notable increases in mobility, functional capacity, trunk activation, and even cognitive function. Just a small dose of weekly QMT has also been shown to decrease low back pain. Those in the community will also attest to it being FUN, but we don’t need research to determine that!
