Shake the Dust isn’t just a workout! 

It’s movement as activism, shaking as medicine, embodiment as a way of life. We’re talking somatics, Pilates, nervous system work, intuitive flow, sounding, dance, and the art of curating a class that actually moves people.


50 hours. No prerequisites. Just a readiness to show up fully.


36h in person + 14h recorded material and homework before and after. 


Location: Mellem-rummets
Holmslund
Holmevej 3, Tanderup, 8305 Samsø

The Location

Mellem-rummet Retreat is a spiritual sanctuary. A retreat from the usual duties of everyday life, a break for contemplation and reflection. A wonderful energy-filled setting with a beautiful teaching hall and spiritual space "The Dojo". Mellem-rummet has arisen from an intention to create a life-affirming and meaningful foundation, a supportive framework and space where there is an opportunity to rediscover oneself and the world we have been given. We believe that people in the modern world need breaks for peace and quiet, where it is possible to find answers to the most essential questions in life. Answers that are far greater than those offered by everyday life. Mellem-rummet is open to everyone – people who need a special space for contemplation, reflection, change and balance.

Shake the Dust™️

// LET GO OF WHAT YOU MAY BE HINDERED BY

THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIVE AND EMBODIED PRACTICE OF THE BODYHEARTMIND.

✨ Shake the Dust is more than just a workout- it’s a transformative, embodied practice of the body, heart, and mind, and a form of activism through movement. Each session invites you to shake off what no longer serves, personally and collectively, and to reclaim your body as a powerful tool for change.

Guided by a poetic theme and an epic playlist, we move together through waves of shaking, jumping, resting, dancing, intuitive flow, plus elements of yoga, Pilates, somatics, and bodyweight strength work.

This is a space where movement becomes a statement, where you can sweat, release, and build a resilient body while also grounding into the values and vision for a better world.

This is a practice for ALL. Whether you’re a yogi, a seeker, or simply ready to move with purpose, Shake the Dust is your invitation to take up space, break patterns, and come alive.



The training will include pre-recorded embodied pilates with Evy Ferraro and some pre-recorded classes with Satu on zoom!

Course hours can be used for continuing education hours (50) at yoga alliance.
