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, dynamic, and responsive core.
You’ll learn how to create intra-abdominal pressure, and the vital role that your hamstrings play in posture. You'll also identify problem areas of overactive muscles that pull you out of The Stack. This work goes far beyond your mat practice. It shapes how you move, breathe, and stabilize - every step, every day.
All levels welcome.

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 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.
