Born December 11th 1971, Cameron Shayne is considered the father of the mixed movement arts culture. He is a social philosopher, educator, fighter, yogi, satirist, artist, writer, and founder of Budokon University. Based in Los Angeles, CA, during the 90's, the mecca for yoga in the Western world, Cameron established himself as one of the pioneering voices and transmitters of contemporary yoga and martial arts. As a teacher of teachers, he is renown for his founding of the Budokon Yoga style, the Budokon Mixed Movement Arts System, and his inspiring and provocative writings on the contemporary movement scene. His radically honest and transparent style of teaching through critical analysis has established him as a guiding voice for modern yoga and the movement culture.

Cameron and Kyle cover a lot of ground in this conversation.  Cameron discusses developing an athletic foundation, and the ability to move between various movement languages, rather than only being focussed on tricks.  He talks about teaching, studentship, learning, and mastery of craft; qualities that can be confused or lost in the age of social media.  He also shares how education of the various modalities of his Budokon system are integrated.  And, he talks about the illusion of an objective reality.
