Anton Mackey Original Co Creator
Anton Mackey is the original co-creator of The Primal Flow, the one who first shaped its magic, its intention, and its unique blend of strength, spirit, and primal movement. He brought this practice to life and to the masses, forever changing how we move, breathe, and connect.
Though he is not currently part of The Primal Flow organization, Anton remains our wise sage and trusted mentor, someone we continue to learn from and whose wisdom still guides our path. His influence is woven into every class and every cue.
The Primal Flow would not exist without him, and he will always be the heartbeat of this practice.
