Do you need motivation from passionate coaches who will educate and empower you to train smarter?

Are you ready to strengthen & mobilize your shoulders, with the right tools?

Do you want to learn how to use unconventional methods to re-wild both your mind AND body?

Mindful Mechanics and Mace is comprised of three full length workshops taught by the experts, geared to help any-BODY find more Flow in their movement practice. In this one of a kind online learning experience, Coach Summer Huntington leads a full Steel Mace Vinyasa workshop, Mark Wildman leads a Clubs & Neural load workshop, outdoors on a handbuilt Cedar Stage at Flow State Campout.

Adrienne Renee facilitates her Mindful Mechanics class programmed specifically to release bound fascia that can inhibit your mace practice, at the Flow Shala.

This complete trio of workshops will give you extensive insight into how to get the most out of working with these tools, whether you are brand new to any of these practices or you’ve been practicing for awhile.

Expect to gain a deeper understanding of both your structure and how to access Flow State.

Mindful Mechanics and Mace is a non-conventional training tool for any-Body who's willing to go deeper. Three Master Coaches share their knowledge on Flow State - to help you re-wild and connect with your true purpose when you train.

Functional movement patterns are facilitated by understanding the nuance of your movement, the torque and leverage of your tools and how to mobilize your tissues post training. Mindful Mechanics and Mace will take your training to the next level with ease and laughter as you get to know these passionate coaches, Summer, Mark & Adrienne.

This 'one of a kind' course has high definition live footage with real people doing these movements, so you can see how it lands on many body types. It's as if you were training with them in person.

Summer and Mark Wildman have been colleagues for over a decade and have advanced training and thousands of hours teaching Steel Clubs and circular strength training. This is their second video production together at Flow State Summit, a non-conventional gathering for movement and flow based workshops. Adrienne has worked with Summer for 7 years, has studied Structural Medicine and myofascial length testing and is a body worker. She educates her clients on how to regain mobility safely, and makes her classes accessible to all.
