Movement Method Weekend Immersion on Bowen Island with Kate Gillespie

April 24th, 3:00pm-April 26th, 11:00am, 2026

WHERE
Nectar Yoga Retreat, Bowen Island, BC

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Join Kate this spring for a deep dive into the mechanics of movement and breath at Nectar’s stunning property on Bowen Island - just a short ferry ride from Vancouver.

Movement Method is a science-backed approach that weaves together Postural Restoration, mobility work, and Vinyasa Yoga -  transforming therapeutic exercises into an engaging, feel-good experience.

Over the weekend, you’ll experience immersive learning that will reshape your understanding of movement and your yoga practice, balanced with deep rest, nourishing meals, and plenty of time in nature among a wonderful community of like-minded people.

Check in is 3pm on Friday, April 24th. You’ll meet for your opening practice around 4:30pm on once you settle in. Then you'’ll gather for an incredible farm-to-table vegetarian meal. Saturday morning will start with an invigorating practice in the yoga dome, followed by a nourishing breakfast. There will be plenty of free time during the day to explore Bowen Island, hike, dip in the ocean, get a massage, enjoy Mist Thermal Sanctuary (right on the property and highly recommended), read a book etc. Lunch is served at 1pm, and we’ll gather back in the dome late afternoon for a restorative practice with breath work and Yoga Nidra before dinner. Sunday will start the same way, and we’ll check out at 11am.
