What is Movement Flow?

Movement Flow is a training method that involves performing a series of fluid movements that flow seamlessly from one to another. It’s a powerful combination of multiple disciplines that encourage strength, mobility, and coordination.

Movement Flow also helps athletes develop body awareness, balance, and control through all ranges of motion which in turn promotes better performance and unlocks power and force production.

How Does Movement Flow Work?

Movement Flow incorporates bodyweight exercises that require moving the body through various positions or ‘shapes’ and ranges of motion with good posture and body alignment. These exercises help to improve strength, core power, mobility, flexibility, and enhance overall movement quality.

Movement Flow also involves practicing transitions between exercises and ‘shapes’ which helps to develop coordination and timing.
