What is Animal Flow?

It is a technique, a kind of grounding movement. It brings a lot of fun and joy, it is demanding and effective. This system was developed by Mike Fitch to enhance strength, power, flexibility, mobility and coordination at all levels of practitioners. The author of the method encourages every person to try their hand at this form of movement.

Mike emphasizes that he did not invent (create) animal movements, but only systematized animal movements so that they were easier to learn and suitable for transmitting them to people of different physical condition and age. With knowledge of how the human body functions, he developed ways to combine human capabilities with movement resembling that of animals.

What makes up Animal Flow?

Mike Fitch describes the method as a combination of many movements and their combinations, which are grouped into categories called "Six Components". Each of the six components can be combined and mixed with each other in many different ways.
These components are:

4. - traveling forms,
5. - switches & transitions,
6. - flows.

You may ask, what difference does it make...?
Seemingly small, after analysis - significant.

Animal Flow is a specific, developed method of working with the body. Described techniques of movement, the way of placing feet and hands. It gives a certain amount of freedom in combining movements, but in a specific system.

And animal flow? Is it possible to move by imitating the movements of animals, taking into account the fluidity between one movement and the next? Of course, we will no longer write this method in capital letters, but it is still a flow of movements, shifting around, grounding, based on animal movements, in strong contact with oneself. An example of a person working on the basis of animal movement is, for example, Ido Portal or Paulina - Wytchnienie, who runs classes in Wrocław, among others. based on animal flow and Natalia Boho Dance.
