Animal Flow®. Ground-based movement for the brain and body.
You're training hard but something still feels off, a shoulder that seized up, a hip that won't cooperate, a body that moves great until it suddenly doesn't. That's the gap. Animal Flow fills it - with movement freedom, creative expression, strength and resilience you didn't know you were missing.
What it is
Strength, range, brain — all on the floor
Welcome to QMT! Quadrupedal Movement Training.
Simply put, it’s a ground-based bodyweight system. But the “Animal” in Animal Flow is NOT about just mimicking animals - it’s about YOU. Your whole vessel. The connection between your brain, body and central nervous system and how they all talk to each other.
Here’s a thought: how many times have you been injured doing something while thinking about something else? Read that again.
Animal Flow brings you back into your body, building real connection, control and joint range across all planes of motion. It exposes your limits, then quietly helps fix them.
No equipment. No mirrors. Just you, the floor, your breath and the music.
- Brilliant companion to strength training
- Powerful for women in perimenopause to keep an eye on that shoulder joint range! (hi, sneaky frozen shoulder, we know your tricks)
- Builds joint resilience for hips, shoulders, wrists and spine
- Develops coordination, balance and proprioception
- Scales from total beginner to certified instructor
- Led by Animal Flow Sydney Regional Leader, coaching and practising herself since 2016

Two ways to train 
Skills or Build a Flow
Skills is where you learn each shape clean. Build a Flow is where you string them together.

All levels. We break down the flow into sequences and drill it together. Brain and body fun, creative movement. Ideally, you have an understanding of the AF language or have experienced the skills sessions. Capped at 8.
How we startTake your first step
The intro covers your AF foundations and more
Even if Animal Flow is the only thing you want to do, the three-session intro gets you ready for the floor and gives me a road map of how to help. Session three is where I introduce you to the foundational shapes in full.
Joint assessment
We map how your body actually moves. Joint range, baseline movements, history. Gentle, methodical.
Strength foundations
Squat. Deadlift. Push. Pull. The lifts that build the strength to do everyday life well.
Animal Flow foundations
Beast, crab, limb lifts, underswitch. An introduction to ground-based training that unlocks strength, range, resilience and confidence.
Ready to start? Intro is $399 upfront, or $450 over three weeks.
After your three sessions you choose: continue 1:1, or join semi-private sessions.
For the keen
Going further - L1 certification or Animal Flow On demand
If you want to teach Animal Flow, or just delve deep into the system, ask me about the next Certification Workshop details. Certification Workshops come 1-2 times a year; don't miss your chance (or a cheeky discount code). Want to learn from the comfort of home ask me about the Animal Flow On Demand Channel.
Get in touch and we'll map a path best suited for you.
The honest answer
Will I have to do Animal Flow?
Will I have to do Animal Flow?
The third intro session introduces you to it gently because it builds joint resilience that protects you long term. But the Classics sessions themselves are strength led with a sprinkle of ground based movements. Animal Flow has its own separate sessions if you want to go further.
Come and play on the floor
Beginner or seasoned, the door's open. Book the intro and I'll meet you there.
