We’ve got quite a bit planned for 2027, so we thought it would be useful to bring it all together in one place.
Alongside our UK four-day courses, we’re planning courses in the US and Canada, a winter movement challenge finishing on the spring equinox, and new professional training for qualified coaches and trainers. There are also shorter, self-guided courses if you’d like to explore something at your own pace.
We’ve grouped everything below into online guided, in-person and online self-guided courses, so you can find what suits you. Some are available now, bookings are open for others, and a few dates are still taking shape.
Online · Self-guided
These shorter courses let you work through the material at your own pace, exploring a particular area or getting a feel for our approach.
