Before 2020 I was active in fitness but I had only dabbled in mace and heavy clubs. During the shutdown I decided to dive deeper with lever tools. I found a few club and mace coaches and programs online before I discovered Coach Summer Huntington on Youtube. It was quickly obvious that she had very few peers when it came to the use of these unique modalities. But what really set her apart was her unique vision of merging ancient lever tools with two other disciplines. She merged arguably the oldest tools known to humans with the ancient art of yoga and the modern science of kinesiology. When I later discovered that she had a Master’s Degree in Kinesiology I wasn’t at all surprised. Summer knows her stuff! Two years later, Summer announced she was hosting a weekend retreat on Clubs, Mace and Staff at Flow Shala with another coach whose material I had immersed myself in throughout the pandemic, Mark Wildman. I signed up on the spot! The weekend was an incredible experience! The two coaches complimented each other so well! Both were beyond excellent in every way possible: pedagogy, explanation, diagnosing issues and coaching corrections, the list goes on and on. I learned so much that weekend, but Summer’s Steel Mace Vinyasa sessions challenged me like I’d never been challenged before. I leveled up in all three modalities without question, and I came home with a passion to continue growing in clubs and staff that is still with me to this day. But I had an even greater drive to pursue steel mace vinyasa. I quickly signed up for a five day retreat with Coaches Summer and Mark in Thailand. I wanted to make the most out of the opportunity and had six months to prepare for the event. I started working online with an incredible Flow Shala coach on a weekly basis. By the time I found myself swinging a mace in Warrior 2 pose surrounded by the Buddhist temples that lined the mountains around our workout platform in Thailand, I had leveled up again. But Summer challenged me in a way I’d never been challenged before. She encouraged as she pushed me to an even higher level. A perfect example, in the midst of one session she invited the group into a headstand. I followed her instructions and found myself upside down! After the session she rushed over to me with a huge smile and was genuinely excited to find out if that was my first headstand. In that moment I realized how genuinely invested this coach was in the development of her students. After Thailand, I joined Flow Shala and continued working with Summer and the other coaches online. It was such a gift to get coaching on Steel Mace Vinyasa at home! I also recently attended a 16 hour SMV online course. When I signed up for the course I thought we’d hone on form and maybe learn some new moves. That happened, but unbeknownst to me, the weekend was really an opportunity to peer behind the curtain and glimpse not only the depth of Summer’s pedagogy but it gave me a clear vision of the genius and breadth of a master and true artist in her chosen field. When Coach Summer recently announced she was going to coach one on one sessions, I signed up right away! Summer is not only a coach of coaches, she is a fitness pioneer gifting us with a glimpse of what the next level of health and wellness looks like with Steel Mace Vinyasa. She not only diagnosed several unhealthy movement patterns I’ve developed over a lifetime, she has prescribed a holistic weekly wellness plan designed to teach me proper movement and heal my body. I can’t speak highly enough of Coach Summer. I’ve been blessed to work with several world class “best of the best” leaders in other disciplines. Summer is definitely at that level in her field. It has been an honor and a blessing to work with her. She has taken me to a new level of fitness and wellness and I know she can do the same for you, regardless of your level or previous experience.

Flow Shala is the best! I've taken on-line classes with Brooke, Amber, and Bethany, so far, and they are all excellent teachers, giving clear instructions so we newer students could easily understand and follow along. The warm-up section of the class is fabulous, and for the main part of the class, the instructors gave options for different levels of challenge, so a beginner could get just as good a work out as a more experienced member. Also, Alicia gave me a coaching call and was completely focused on supporting my goals. Summer got back to me quickly regarding emailed questions. All around, a top-notch studio.

I started going to Flow Shala by joining the 30-day Flow challenge. (HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have been out of touch with your body for a while and need some motivation!!) Before this, I had gone to gyms on and on off but hadn’t had a truly consistent movement practice in 6 years. I realized I missed team sports and hoped to gain consistency by encouraging myself with community. It was fun to meet new people and hear about their own journey with getting back in touch with their body, getting out of pain, or how long they have been practicing here. The coaches are all incredibly knowledgeable and empowering. It is a welcoming and non-judgmental space. All I had to do...read full review
