Liz Gleadle

Liz is a 3x Olympian (London, Rio, & Tokyo), holds the National Javelin Record at 64.83m (212.7 ft), won 11 Canadian Championships, and competes on the international professional circuit. She retired in 2022, then had epiphany about emotions, posture, and power production that inspired her to train for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

A Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology provided a foundation for her natural curiosity: for the last 16 years, she’s explored, tested and expanded on the most effective ways to boost performance. This has included deep dives in nutrition, visualization, resilience training, meditation, physical rehabilitation, yoga, sleep, psychology of habits, breathwork, movement practice, and emotional induction. Liz created Spiral Flow because even at the elite level, she sought a more profound understanding and control of her body’s movements. This journey of avoiding pain and strategically problem-solving led her to blend the best of track and field, calisthenics, soft acrobatics, dance, and yoga, unlocking new athletic and embodied intelligence. She now guides others, especially experienced movers, to integrate these diverse principles, deepening their body awareness, enhancing their practice, and discovering the profound pleasure and safety in truly listening to their own movement.
