Meet Kate Gillespie
Kate’s practice began over 20 years ago. Years of competitive sports had her wound so tight that it took nearly a year to touch her toes. There was an immediate shift in her hamstrings, but the far more profound shift in her whole being was what hooked her. Yoga is magic.
After nearly a decade of practice, Kate pursued her first teacher training program in Costa Rica, with the intention of deepening her personal practice and having an extended vacation from a demanding finance career. The rest is history.Â
Kate loves the fluid nature of a Vinyasa practice, but also craves the details of alignment and science of functional movement. Her teaching continuously evolves as a combination of those 3 elements as she keeps learning and growing.
Kate teaches public classes in Vancouver, Canada as well as trainings and retreats all over the world.
Meet Matt Phippen
With a variety of formal training in many disciplines, Matt’s teaching pulls from numerous styles in the Yoga system, as well as Postural Restoration, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and Functional Range Systems.
Blending the old with the new, and combining tradition with science, Matt offers an intelligent and relevant style for students wanting to improve the way they move and breathe, and for teachers seeking insight and refinement in the way they teach. Â
Matt is based in Los Angeles, and teaches classes, workshops, and trainings online and all around the world.Â
