Learn to Upshift and Downshift the Breath

One of our most valuable tools in training movement is the breath. Steel Mace Vinyasa Prime covers many levels of breathing that will help you understand how to coach yourself AND your clients to enhance performance. Mobility based breathing differs from breath geared towards conditioning, and there are many levels in between. Expect to learn to understand how to elicit a parasympathetic breath response in movement, as a pathway to freedom. You'll learn to practice a force level breath and a discipline level breath while yielding your weapon in yoga asana, making you prime your neural pathways to Flow state.

About Coach Summer & this body of work:

Summer pioneered this body of work after learning the Circular Strength Training method, and with the blessing of her long time Coach Scott Sonnon. She founded Clubbell Yoga, the first system in 2011 with many iterations and online programs since. She began teaching seminars in 2012 on loaded asana with clubs, and taught globally in London, Spain, Budapest, Australia, NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and more. She published several progressive online courses featuring her work that truly bridged the gap between strength training and yoga. Summer started the Flow Shala Online studio in 2017 with Kinesiologyoga 101 (86 Videos covering her preparation

for this seminar). Her programs are extremely thorough, with layers of knowledge and application for any body wanting to better understand their own anatomy & musculoskeletal system. Summer is an expert in Flow State training applications and continues to serve her community at Flow Shala, a full service & virtual coaching facility based in Bellingham, WA. She teaches live seminars quarterly, and requires this course as a pre-requisite to attend her Steel Mace Vinyasa lvl 1 Seminar.

How is this different than yoga and sculpt? Or different from other Yoga and strength programs?

Steel Mace Vinyasa Prime is a foundational program for building complexity into your training program, meaning you will be actually training your transitions... not just the poses. A transition is simply how we move from one pose to the next, and it is a key element of tapping into Flow State. When you move under load, and learn the proper order of operations, you will drastically improve your capacity to do work, improve your Range of Motion and start moving better and with less aches and pains. Often time pain is due to an inability to move a joint through a full range of motion. When motion gets limited, the fascia gets adhered and creates bound tissue that is even more resistant to moving. Steel Mace Vinyasa takes a systematic approach to unwinding bound fascia with breath and repetitions, so you learn the mobility correctly. [mobility is different than just stretching]. As you learn to master the conditioning drills presented in this course, you will open up your shoulders and hips in new ways you never thought possible.

Why is Steel Mace so effective and popular right now?

The Steel Mace is fashioned from the ancient weapon called a Gada, see www.steelmacevinyasa.com for reference. When yielding this modern day weapon, or tool, it conjures up our warrior archetype. We need tools for survival, to protect ourselves and our families, to chop wood for heat, to provide self defense in battle. Using more primal based movement patterns is extremely satisfying to the brain and nervous system, because there is real consequence and we must pay even deeper attention to what is happening. Not all Steel Mace exercise programs ellicit a Flow state response, however Steel Mace Vinyasa Prime and all other Steel Mace Vinyasa programs are high level coaching programs that integrated this ancient wisdom and modern kinesiology principles to yield a consistent result, over and over again. Flow State crosses cultures, and this body of work is extremely powerful when practiced often.
