Thank you to all the amazing attendees for a session of learning, burning, and fun 🙏🏼

The focus was intense! These folks were locked in and stepped up to the challenge. We honed our new techniques, maximizing time under tension while dialing in the nuanced forms of @animalflowofficial and @steelmaceflow

Thank you so much @yogasix_santaclara for hosting us. Stay tuned for upcoming workshops ⚔️

I feel rich in this life not because I have a ton of money. I feel rich in having genuine friendships. I feel grateful for waking up with the ability to cook breakfast for my family. I feel grateful to wake up to the sound of my kids yawns and stretches. I feel complete and whole. And for me, that is more than enough. by @joykarakas

Welcome @joykarakas to the world of #steelmaceflow ➖➖👊🏼⚫️ !!

Her skill in yoga and strength training was on full display mastering this drill in a single session.

I call this the switch-curl lunge matrix, where we practice moving in each relative direction, mastering the foundational skill of coordinating hand and foot techniques. The next level adds the front-crossover lunge and diagonal rear lunge.

What makes this type of training special?

⚔️ Balance, mobility, and strength endurance training in a single move.

🌊 Meditative, utilizing yogic breathwork and time under tension.

🐅 Even work between upper, core, and lower body.

🥷 Feel smooth as a ninja the more you dial in.

This training session was such a pleasure! Since tearing my right medial meniscus on New Year’s Eve, I haven’t had the ability to practice mace flow at all…until now. So good to be back, with another mace warrior no less 💪🏼
