Animal Flow

Animal Flow is a dynamic movement practice that draws inspiration from the natural movements of animals to create a unique and engaging workout experience. Developed by fitness expert Mike Fitch, Animal Flow combines elements of bodyweight exercises, yoga, gymnastics, and parkour into fluid, multi-planar movements that challenge strength, flexibility, coordination, and mobility. Practitioners mimic the locomotion patterns and gestures of various animals, such as bears, apes, and crabs, through a series of crawls, reaches, kicks, and rotations. By integrating these primal movements into flowing sequences or "flows," Animal Flow offers a fun and effective way to improve overall fitness, movement skills, and body awareness while tapping into the innate joy of playful and expressive movement.
