About Kate:
Kate Gillespie has spent over two decades studying the body and how it moves. How and why it compensates, adapts, and sometimes breaks down.
What began as a personal search for relief of her own pain evolved into a lifelong study of movement science.
Kate is known for translating complex concepts into experiences that feel accessible, intuitive, deeply effective and fun. Drawing from Postural Restoration, Pilates, mobility training, strength work, and yoga, she teaches with both a technical lens and a deeply human approach.
Kate’s Functional Flow classes blend science-based movement principles, ribcage and breathing mechanics, and functional mobility into flow-based sequences that are both educational and grounding.
Whether teaching public classes in Vancouver or leading trainings and retreats around the world, Kate’s goal is always the same: to help people better understand their bodies, move with more ease and resilience, and feel more connected to themselves.
In 2020, Kate and Matt Phippen founded an online studio called Movement Method, which now has hundreds of classes and several courses to share their knowledge.
Agenda
🕑: 03:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Master The Stack
Info: Saturday Afternoon. Your core is so much more than sit-ups and a six-pack. It’s an intelligent system of stability - created by multiple muscles working together to manage pressure, posture, and movement.
The Stack is a powerful approach to alignment and stabilization that brings the ribcage and pelvis into optimal relationship, stacking the respiratory and pelvic diaphragms. This creates the foundation for a strong, efficient, and responsive core.
This work goes far beyond your mat practice. It shapes how you move, breathe, and stabilize - every step, every day. All levels welcome.
🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Unlock Rotation
Info: Sunday Afternoon. If Master The Stack is about finding balance front-to-back, Unlock Rotation is about learning how to twist, turn, and move side-to-side with strength and ease.
Our bodies are designed to move in all directions, but modern life has us sitting, driving, and moving mostly straight ahead. We get locked up in suboptimal patterns, and lose healthy rotation in the hips and trunk.
This workshop is designed to restore your body’s natural ability to rotate and move laterally. You’ll learn how to unlock power in your hips, move more efficiently through space, and rebuild strength and mobility for everyday life, sports, and your mat practice. All levels welcome.
