How it works

Book a spot, move together, give back.

01

Book on Luma

All classes live in our Luma calendar. Follow it and you hear about new classes first, before we post them on Instagram.

02

Move together

A 60 to 90 minute class with a local trainer, usually on a weekend, usually in a park. Dogs are often part of the crowd.

03

Give what feels right

We suggest €20, about what a class like this usually costs. Give more if you can, less if you need to. It all goes to the shelter of the month.

Life at Kind Movement

A glimpse of our classes.

Where the money goes

The unglamorous work that keeps a shelter running.

Food, vet bills, vaccines and sterilisations. Blankets for cold nights. Transport for a dog with a new family waiting on the other side of Europe.

The shelter we support changes every month, so more places and more animals get help. Every campaign ends with a public breakdown on Instagram: what came in, where it went, and the animals it reached.

Who we are

Two friends, two rescue dogs, one idea.

We are Luise and Julia. We met in a workout class here in Lisbon, both adopted rescue dogs in Portugal, and started volunteering together at a small shelter in Mafra. Kind Movement is what happened when we stopped keeping our two biggest passions apart.

Next class

Your spot on the mat is waiting.

New classes go up on Luma first and fill up fast. Follow the calendar and we let you know the moment one opens.
