Festival Program
The Movement Made Festival 2026 offers a dynamic blend of movement, exploration, and community. You can engage in a variety of workshops and classes led by renowned coaches in disciplines such as hand balancing, calisthenics strength, yoga, acrobatics and flexibility training. The program also includes unique experiences like barefoot trail running, inspiring talks, opportunities to explore the rich culture and history from the area, sound baths, and evening bonfires with our amazing artist Kamauu.
With activities designed for all skill levels, the festival provides an opportunity to explore new movement practices, connect with like-minded individuals, and immerse oneself in nature. All classes are in English.
Be aware of the parallell classes. We're scheduling up to four classes at the same time. On Sunday there will only be classes until lunch.

FAQ
-
The short answer i yes! Most classes have a level description. The handstand classes are for example divided by level – four levels in total. The classes are parallel to each other, and you can bounce between levels as you prefer.
-
Closest airports are Oslo and Bergen.
From Oslo take a bus and get picked up in Fagernes. From here (Fagernes Skysstasjon), you will get picked up by the festival bus (extra fee). You could also rent a car. Thats the absolute fastest option
From Bergen: Train to Gol, and get picked up here by the festival bus (extra fee). Or; rent a car! It's a very beautiful route – best for sightseeing / exploration.
Obs: You have to book the festival bus in advance. -
Yes! All of them. All information is in general in English.
