Events
As a general rule, we'll try our best to avoid scheduling events for any month during which a European Tour, Mixed Movement Camp or Teacher Training Course with Cameron & Melayne Shayne is taking place (they are usually held in the fall, somewhere between September, October, and November each year. On occasion, trainings might also take place in spring/early summer, between March and May). However, date clashes are sometimes unavoidable.

WINTER 2026
CALISTHENICS MEETS YOGA -
A MIXED MOVEMENT & SOCIAL GATHERING
Join us for another fun filled Mixed Movement Event (probably our last one for the year)! The movement disciplines and holistic practises we will explore will include Yoga, Mobility, and Calisthenics, as well as some breath-work and possibly some animal locomotion/primal movement. We are also planning an optional post - training social event, which we hope you will all come along to, so we can get to know each other better outside of the exercise/fitness/movement environment. We are family and a community, connecting with you is a big part of the experience, and we’d love to share space, energy and good vibes beyond the field of practical movement learning/practise.
