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.
