What is Movement School?
Nine years ago, Move To Move revolutionized physical education by opening Canada’s first general movement school of its kind in Calgary, influenced by leaders like Ido Portal.
We’ve cultivated a diverse community over the years, working with professional athletes, dancers, and fighters, as well as people from all walks of life—from executives and busy parents to students and retirees. Our members all come to us to revolutionize their understanding of their bodies, supporting each other and growing in ways they never imagined before they started. We proudly describe our program, which draws from The Human Movement Studies Program, as “Radical physical education for the 21st century.”
Our comprehensive, ever-evolving practice cultivates your body’s abilities beyond the limits of any single discipline. It focuses on three core layers:
- Physical Capacity: Improving strength, elasticity, and endurance.
- Physical Intelligence: Refining coordination and dexterity.
- Creative Potential: Exploring the subtle connection between external motion and inner experience.
We achieve this through six fields of practice: Physical Preparedness, Open Forms & Dance, Fighting, Acrobatics, Athletics, and Inner Work.
2026 Winter Semester Focus
For the Winter semester, we’ll dive deep into Physical Preparedness, Acrobatics, Open Forms & Dance, and Athletics. We will learn increase the capacity of our spine, interacting with the floor, the wall, bars, and rails. We will also train hard!
Below are some key dates to help you plan your amazing year filled with MOVEMENT!
