20 Min Animal Moves Flow | Full Body Stretch + Primal Movement

Welcome to your 20 min animal moves flow. This sequence includes a full body yoga stretch with primal movements to give you a dynamic and diverse practice.
It's an energetic and playful practice that will have you twisting, turning, jumping and stretching all in one. At times it might feel like a workout and at others it may feel deeply relaxing and meditative. I hope you enjoy the mixture of movements.
This class is better suited to intermediate practitioners as some of the transitions will be tricky for beginners.
I hope you enjoy this animal moves flow.

Hello friends, I hope you enjoyed this class? I tried to introduce new movements and then build them into flows so that you become more familiar and can make the practice your own. I hope you enjoy it 🙏

[@katarzynaflorczak990]

Difficult for me, my legs on fire ;)

[@patricia753]

Love it 😃👍👍

[@Agamveer23]

Look’s easy but not, my legs full pumped after this, great 👍

[@lizzyrush4205]

THIS WAS SO FUN!!! This is the first video of yours that I've watched, and I wish I found you earlier! And the fact that you took the time to do a substantial wrist warm up is perfect. I think the procession of all the movements were great, and I will definitely be watching many more of your videos in the future!

[@leonie_ke]

I love the pace, please do more! This was great

[@knowjamaica1602]

This proves that it’s ok to keep searching KZbin for videos because after so long I’m just seeing this ..way better than static stretching.

[@spiritwarriorstudios]

AHA! The secret to Animal Flow - and Anything that's worthwhile in Life! - is in the DOing!!! I've been doing Animal Flow routines for about 3 months and I swear by the benefits I've acquired by simply Starting with what I can DO! Start DOing!!! peace 🕊️

[@1AmbikaSingh]

I don't know why but animal movement flow makes me feel incredibly energized 🙃🙃

[@Tiger_Lightning_Music]

Same here I feel in touch with my body during/after

[@steve-adams]

I think it's a sort of neural "use it or lose it" thing! The less you move, the less you feel capable of moving. The more you engage your body, the more alive it feels. More signals, more awareness, more capability. It's like you're breathing life into your body, really waking up and exciting all these pathways. Then I imagine there are all kinds of hormonal side effects too. It's such a good feeling!

[@gabrielaf]

SPICY!! My quads were like NOPE, so I had to stop for a bit while all the jumping continued. I'll be coming back to this one till it doesn't kill me in the process.

[@anaplazas]

I felt the same. I really appreciate this video and I'm grateful to Charlie, but I think the exercises go faster to demanding positions for knees before they are warmed up, and I thought the streching would be lighter in the previous movements.

[@FabCrazyShit]

this is perfect for yogi's who whant to make the transition to primal movement. Thanks so much for all your classes and have a great day.

[@MartyMillerCrispe]

Hi Charlie, I'm loving your yoga but loving your animal flows more. Please add more like this!

[@sarenezummo5761]

Wow! Beast is what this practice is! Great challenge! Anyone who says you can’t get your heart rate up doing yoga, hasn’t done this class. Thank you!

[@CharlieFollows]

So true! Thank you for sticking with me through the challenging parts 😊

[@oleksandrpavlenko7190]

it was something new and special. now I am lying on the floor in the paddle of my sweat, hot and happy. It's the hot end of the summer, and the air is 27 degrees Celsius. I feel full of life.

[@eth_fish]

So fun! I’d love a longer form of this with slow yoga-like into and outro but with these types of movements as peak!

[@lifeinitspurest1338]

That sounds like a great workout!!!! Definitely agree!!!

[@shikhasumansingh4818]

I must say - it was total fun. I really enjoyed it. Well, that doesn't mean that I have enjoyed less in the rest of your classes but this class, this was full of fun. However, I wanted to say but was postponing from these many months that - THANK YOU CHARLIE, and also that for 10 months I've been enjoying yoga under your guidance. You are a positive person and practicing yoga, even virtually, with you leaves me with a positive energy. So again, THANK YOU for taking this initiative to guide us through the KZbin channel. ✨

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment, I am sending you a big hug from afar. It's a pleasure to know that you have been practicing with me so consistently, thank you for that and again for sharing your experience 🙏

[@cookwithlove02490]

Hii.. she is amazing for sure ! But one thing that i wanted to know is is it helpful in loosing weight ?!

[@kriss_lynn]

Ohhh WEEEE that was so FUN and SO SO Challenging 🙌🏻❤️💯my knees are on fire 🔥

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for joining me for the challenge 😊

[@chunchen3450]

Immediately took out my mat when i see this new animal flow. It is so fun, i feel a lot inner wilderness from me. And of course a sore leg😂

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for jumping straight on your mat when you saw this 😊

[@spiritwarriorstudios]

"Inner wilderness"?!? I sooo love this description!

[@StephansBilderwelt]

Charlie, does combinations of Yoga and animal flows are just great. Would you bring up more of those? Would be great!!! Thanks a lot 🙏

[@CharlieFollows]

Hello thank you so much I'm so happy you enjoy the combination. Yes I'll definitely be sharing more soon

[@rideblades007]

Ooooo!! Yes! Last animal flow I did with you was so much fun. I can’t wait to try this.

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you I hope you enjoy this one as much as the last 🙏

[@fliplobster5104]

First time for me. Doing a lot of stretching but this one here is different! Love it. It got me sweating and I'm definitely going to do this again!

[@mohy47]

Today's trainer, Shad Shad, it was really great. My back muscles had spasms since the day before. Today's movements made my muscles free. Thank you.

[@careypostell4555]

YES!!! Loved this class. It was so fun and challenging. Sometimes I need a class where I'm like I need a break. You delivered again!!! Sending you tons of love and appreciation ❤❤❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much! I was so happy to read that you thought I delivered, I always hope the classes meet peoples expectations so this was a big boost for me 🙏

[@mariamartinezrock]

Thank you Charlie for making me fall in love with Yoga Practise again. Your classes make my mornings. Sending you blessings!

[@mercerino]

That was a super fun flow! I've done Animal Flow before, but this was the funnest.

[@arihartmann2701]

This was wild❤if your doing Yoga for a long time your craving something different from time to time. This was a perfect challenge and also so much fun😊❤thank you so much!!

[@CharlieFollows]

Glad you liked it!! Thank you for leaving your feedback 🙏

[@NickMasseyRideon]

As I get older, turning 65 next month, I use more and more of these movements to still get my blood and heart going but to also avoid injury that I can expose myself to with heavy weights. I do still like to lift once or twice a week. With these kinds of movements, I can move at my own pace and just let gravity do its work. I love this series or movements, thank you so much.

[@URVIMAKDA]

This is so much fun!! My legs are on 🔥. But I thoroughly enjoyed this flow! This was really creative Charlie!! Have a wonderful week ahead. Take care. ❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much Urvi, I’m so glad you enjoyed this challenging flow 😊

[@Blueclouds161]

I love the animal flows so much fun

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@AmardeepMDugar]

This was one of the most amazing & fulfilling Animal Flow Primal Movements practice I’ve do ever Charlie!! I particularly loved the loaded beast-downward dog-wild thing-piston squat-crab transition. I am getting a little more creative & wondering what if you also added a reverse crab reach or even a wheel within this transition. Overall loved this session from one of my favourite instructors 🩵👩🏻🖤🍑💋👌🏻💪🏻🙏🏻✨♾️Just can’t get enough of you & your practices

[@retrob5340]

What an unexpectedly spicy and fun flow! Challenging and motivating. Would love a longer animal flow / more in depth one at one point! Brilliant!! Thank you!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate your thanks 🙏 I will do my best to do a longer one of these, they are quite physically demanding so I will see how I can make it more manageable for a longer amount of this.

[@lllthink]

This was very well explained and I like how a complete beginner can follow along at a slow pace the practice so as not to end up hurting the knee joints by trying to go fast with the danger if twisting the knee caps. Thank you

[@lauracowan100]

My first ever animal flow video! Eveb coming from a yoga back ground i found it challenging, yet theres something very natural and satisfying about moving in this way! Part of my move into a more primal, ancestral way of living after years of chronic illness.. Feeling intouch with my inner animal! Cant wait to see the results after a while of consistency! 😊

[@joeg6280]

I really enjoyed this one. I've been trying to get more into animal/primal flow- this was easy to follow and very fun! Please add more like this!

[@chayanbhattacharya1613]

"The problem was with my patience" I used to feel captivated looking at your videos whenever it showed up in my YT feeds, untill today. I thought of giving it a try, and I succeeded. I was in all sweat in first 10 minutes of this video. Thank you Charlie for making it free for me(us).

[@cmeasiam77]

What a fantastically, creative flow to channel that in her beast! I feel like I could go frolic with the animals outside now lol… Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏽

[@balalaika852]

Absolutely fantastic flow. I'm just getting into animal flow after doing yoga for a few years. Was trying to get into bodyweight exercises like pistol squat progressions, but honestly, I find counting reps boring and can't motivate myself past a few weeks. This was a great introduction to the practice :)

[@kma3647]

20 min is a bit short for me, but I absolute love these animal flow workouts. I'm so tight through the hips I struggle with a lot of movements in yoga (and martial arts) but I have also learned to cheat them a bit. This workout gets down into that deep mobility and flexibility of both the hip and shoulder girdles and it's so incredibly refreshing to feel these loosen up as the workout goes on. Especially since I sit large parts of the day in front of a computer, this really helps to undo some of that too! Please do more of these

[@dylanfourie7264]

As a martial artist and weightlifter went in thinking this was easy first video done and I can definitely i am feeling it wrists and legs. I'm really going to enjoy more of her videos as I wanted to use this as an alternative to weightlifting and I can definitely say this will not only benefit my martial arts by everyday life as well. Awesome video and beautiful instructions real passion and love, and to everyone who may you all be blessed

[@shakingbirdart]

I love your animal flows! They're my absolute favorite videos, and I enjoy the compound movements a lot because they give me a sense of accomplishment, along with the exercise. I did have to pause the video three times to catch my breath, but that just motivates me to try again and again until I get it right! 😁 Thank you for your lovely instruction.

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for being so positive about the many challenges in this class. I know it can be disheartening when we don't get it first time but I'm so happy to read that it just motivates you to keep going. Thank you for sharing your positivity 🙏

[@federicabellomo8156]

It was very interesting and challenging, especially for my quads, thank you so much!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for practicing with me

[@julia13ch]

omg!! i was so scared to do your animal flows, but now i can say that i really really enjoyed it. thank you so much!!

[@iraseiden]

You're a wonderful, crystal clear, generous teacher. I'm 72. Fit in my own variation. JUST tried and did all of this but staccato i.e. stop/start going back to the video within and at the end of each section. Fab... so well presented. Thank you X I

[@patricia753]

Dear Charlie, I found your channel, and I Love it! I start my day first by doing one of your videos! What I really appreciate about your yoga workouts is they incorporate the triangle postures, and they are a bit mire creative than other yoga flows that I've done. Thank you for such a unique yoga experience, safe, and thorough!!! My body feels strong and flexible afterwards. Thank you!!!! PS, I know this is not a typical yoga video, more animal flow. I just wanted to leave my comment somewhere in any one of your videos. 😊

[@shelbyhxo]

Charlie!!! That was so much fun, I'm gonna do it again tomorrow! Thank you so much! 💓 I hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks for always brightening my days with your practices 😊

[@CharlieFollows]

Awe thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much 🙏

[@priscillabateman9851]

oh wow !! that was intense- done animal flows in the past but this was a little more intense and concentrated - the new movements added more loading to the legs - definitely legs on 🔥

[@robbieguerrero9835]

GREAT ANIMAL FLOW!!!

[@robbieguerrero3351]

YOUR FLOW OF ENERGY EXCITES EVERY ELECTRON IN MY BODY...YOU HAVE SOUL FORCE CHARLIE!!!

[@prassler]

aha haha yess.. She's force of nature O+

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

Love these! They are quite challenging for me yet I feel so bad ass afterwords!

[@axrt2766]

Thank you Charlie! I've always planned on doing your other primal movement video but this was a sign. Definitely practicing this regularly. 💗

[@CharlieFollows]

It was meant to be 😊 thank you for your time and energy 🙏

[@katrinberge4828]

This one was surprisingly hard, but needed! Struggled to follow some of the movements, but sure it would be easier if I did the video again. I'm proper sweaty now!

[@jacobe8688]

Thanks Charlie! Got a bit sweaty on this chilly morning. Sequence was challenging but not as ‘bad’ as i suspected… :-D given other animal flows, some of which were way above my belt level. I appreciated your gradual induction.

[@yaoyao1183]

Thank you so much. Animal flow x yoga is really fun! Really enjoy to practice by watching your video.❤

[@lucyandchris4631]

Such clear instructions! This is the animal flow class I've been looking for!

[@user-rz8el1lo6p]

Génial j'ai adoré assouplissement plus renforcements musculaire le beau mélange pour bien renforcer son ancrage de bon matin ❤merci 😊

[@VeraBousiou]

Challenging but how interesting to feel muscles becoming activated so fast! I will try this one again. Thank you!

[@ashleycrichton5922]

Loved watching it but dropped out at the mini handstands. Too much for a 71-yr old retired GP! Back to the beginners classes but perhaps one day… Great channel - thank you!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for sticking with me and doing what you despite it being challenging, I really admire your dedication 🙏

[@birgip.m.1236]

How awesome to be able & willing to try it at 71!! U can slow down the playback speed & also modify moves to an appropriate level for U.

[@KW-up2ox]

That was fun & quite challenging 😅 Gonna revisit this in the future to see how I improve!

[@ganstatsunami6803]

Wow it was amazing!!!! One of my favorite so far. Thank you for existence

[@CharlieFollows]

Glad you enjoyed it! thank you for leaving your feedback 🙏

[@ahmedzakariya4788]

Thank you 4this amazing practice! Over the years practicing with you i have evolved so much, arm balances that i couldnt do, now i can. flexibility that i had little now I have way more! And this flow was amazing too! Thank you Charlie❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me, I'm so happy that I've been able to play a role in helping you develop your practice 🙏

[@Mujtabahassan1]

Didn’t know yoga also tones up your voice and makes ur narration so enchanting 👌🏼and your not completely running out of ur breath. Doing yoga while still having complete control over you tonality. Amazing

[@Effy3005]

I love this flow so much! I feel so energized and rooted :))))

[@The-Contractor]

Excellent body control through the whole range of movement. Something to aim for. Thanks for what you do.

[@user-hp7qo4dq6f]

I do exercise regularly just to stay fit. I do all mix kind of exercises...like free hand push pull and legs, yoga, flows...I came through this video last week and had downloaded as I want to try once. I am interested in animal flow currently and have been searching and digging in you tube to learn it. I tried today and swear this flow was so challenging and fun at the same time. I loved it...thank you. I will dig more in your videos now. Ur amazing...❤🤟

[@Tt-co4ef]

Never realised I could do crab position until now. Your instructions were on point. I feel incredible. Thank you😊

[@mattefrance]

Oh I loved the animal flow! Thank you

[@ScaredycatG]

Wow! First time doing anything like this and it was surprisingly hard!!

[@jonahakivahbenavraham]

Wow, that was tougher than I thought. Thanks

[@preethit.s]

Hi Charlie 👋 Today's session was so hard😢for me But believe me I loved it ❤ Please do such session like less time but more intensive class😊

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion for a future class, I’ll see what I can do.

[@Irinoux]

Thanks to you! 🙏 I love this animal flow practice 🥰 Do you have or will you have other animal flows' vidéos?

[@abhishekdubey9054]

I just completed the whole process now I can feel the change within me it just ossum that you hey physically and mentally feet by doing yoga.

[@LioKayy]

I've been searching for something like this for a while now. Once a week I was doing a stretch 30 min session and was looking for an alternative. Thank you for this!

[@carolameyer4363]

Wow what a work out! Loved the diversity. I’ll definitely be coming back to this. Thank you!

[@t.michaelbodine4341]

Great video. It's beyond me at the level I'm at now, but I'll get there soon. I like this idea of "animal movement". People are made to be moving a lot more than us moderns do.

[@amandakarrstedt7082]

love these animal flow workouts! 🧡

[@maurathedancer]

Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@Methodician]

Love this! I'm interested in capoiera but find I lack the muscle tone for it. This is a great way to work up to it! My quads are like rubber now... Gonna hurt tomorrow!

[@karlfun]

I'm just a little computer nerd and this was a lot of work for my wrists, but I'm going to keep trying so I can work up to some Cirque du Soleil handstands!!

[@davidpat1t]

I'm older and never tried yoga, but this looks not just interesting but very beneficial. Do have a beginners video or maybe a beginners play list?

[@maryrios6529]

Ughhh I love the background so much. It’s so peaceful

[@mrchristopherfern]

you're amazing. first animal flow video. didn't die, and in fact may have collapsed several other workout routines

[@weareallstars1267]

Thank you that was very motivating!! 🙏🤍

[@mgr.dagmarsemerakova8240]

My first animal moves class. And I loved it! Thank you!

[@heyjele812]

Thank you Charlie! This was challenging for me! Lovedit ❤ happy week!

[@CharlieFollows]

Happy you enjoyed the challenge, have a great week 😊

[@cautious1343]

Very good instruction. Thank you.

[@dariarussu686]

This was so fun! And also challenging, had to stop twice to catch my breath. Guess I'll just have to do it again and again, until it feels easy! ;)

[@komalsrivastava5001]

This is a Great video. Can you make a longer version of this where we can make transitions slowly

[@CharlieFollows]

Hey yes absolutely, I'm going to do a slower version as I think a lot of people will benefit from this.

[@tiladelcarmenmontejoruiz9884]

Tremendo relajamiento. Muchas gracias Charlie

[@bradandest]

What a fantastic flow. I didn’t expect to have to pause so often 😀

[@lramayab]

Crear practice for súper legs!!!!!!!! Thank you Charlie

[@osh007]

Excellent combo. I loved it. Can you make a one breathe one moment continuous flow please?

[@calesticall128]

Needed matras on Yoga.
