curriculum for the academic year 2025/2026

To give our students a better understanding of how our classes and structure are organised, we have created a yearly schedule. The purpose of this is to make it easier to plan and to ensure long term progress for the individual and the group. Our curriculum is planned as an academic year running from 22.09.2025 to 03.07.2026.

The year is organised in cycles of 3 months. This is an overview of the cycles and topics we will be teaching throughout the year.

Whilst the main focus is to better understand one's mind and body through an integrated movement practice, we need to be smart about what we practice and what milestones we want to achieve in a given period of time. In a more general practice that is not limited to one field, it is important not to get too sidetracked or fall into the traps of specialization, so we cycle through projects. Revisiting principles and concepts from different sides and perspectives as the material changes over time.

The Physical Preparation, Acrobatics and Handstand classes are more continuous in their content as they are more tied to achieving a certain standard within well defined areas. The projects of the Movement classes change each cycle to get exposure to different areas that allow us to experience the underlying principles in different scenarios and settings. As we are multifaceted beings, it is of great benefit to not only base ourselves in one sport or field. It offers great opportunities to feel confident in many scenarios ranging from climbing to balancing, acrobatics, fighting, dancing and all the archetypal movement patterns that are deeply ingrained in us.

Following theory and material will be thought in the academic year 2025/2026

-          The integrated movement practice: What it means to have an integrated movement practice and how to build it for yourself.

-          Programming and planning your training: How to decide what to practice. How to plan my own training and create my own training programmes.

-          The phasic body: How can we organise our training if we look through the lens of biotensegrity and incorporate it's principles into a more modern approach to physical preparation and training?

o   What is biotensegrity

o   Concepts of biotensegrity for physical education

o   Application of the concepts

On top of the above each individual cycle will have a main focus on the following projects and theory:

Autumn Cycle

Fully Indoors. Topics tba.

Winter Cycle

Fully Indoors. Topics tba.

Spring Cycle

Its time to move outdoors fully and practice environmental movement practices that are inspired by parkour and climbing.

Summer mode:

Outdoors. Apply it all and have fun :) The classes will be mostly application based and will provide a playground to consolidate what you have learnt and explore your extended possibilities.
