She is deeply passionate about integrating self-enquiry, subtle awareness and transformational spiritual practices into everything she does. Catalyst and inspiration: Just one month into her first trip to India (captured above) she experienced what felt like the unravelling of a deep, potent reminder - that our breath can be our best ally in achieving shifts in how we experience life. And that everyone deserves the chance to alchemise, to transform their lives. Having spent the majority of her 20’s in hyperactive, cognitively charged states with a consistent presence of anxiety in her baseline and reaching burn-out, this lesson on the powerful simplicity of conscious breath was profound. It became a catalyst for what has unfolded to be a wonderful journey of discovery and purposeful unlearning. It’s also been vital in supporting her navigate and move through the break-down of a 9 year romantic relationship, the decline in health (and then death) of her father, significant changes in direction - and essentially her evolving sense of identity. Study: Dedicated to enquiry, Katie has studied Pranayama (breathwork), embodied Tantric meditation, Asana (movement), Himalayan Kriya (energetic body practices combining advanced pranayama techniques with intention, concentration, mudra and sound), Trauma-informed somatic practices, holistic Mindfulness practices and Mantra. She has undertaken more than 500 hrs of committed teacher trainings. Offerings: Beyond trainings and theory, Katie teaches from her own practical embodiment and felt sense of these practices with the hope of re-awakening / deepening somatic understanding in the people she guides. Katie loves to teach in intimate settings, acknowledging that not everyone has the desire, time or financial resources to visit a physical ‘studio’. She enjoys creating safe and inspiring spaces where practitioners can feel empowered to go beyond the analytical mind, following the call of self-enquiry and exploring both their sense of self and personal agency. When she’s not teaching you’ll find her taking in the green spaces of her home town of Melbourne and channelling the teachings through her work in behaviour change, specialising in social issues such as family violence, social cohesion and gender equality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1618313181087-TU45CQPQDGT6KIVO4D8K/IMG_7924.JPG About - Qualifications. 100hr Philosophy Training Rasa Yoga (YACEP) / July - Dec 2023 40hr Sātka path - Ceremony and Ritual Teacher Training Uma Spender, Bali (YACEP) / 2023 100hr Beyond the Asana – Pranayama, Philosophy & Purpose Uma Spender, Melbourne (YACEP) / 2021 & 2023 (Group leader & facilitator), 2020 (student) Cert in facilitation Habitus / Nov 2022 Trauma awareness in practice Blue Knot Foundation, National Centre of Excellence for Complex Trauma / April 2022 50hr Anatomy, Alignment and Assisting Gertrude Street Yoga, Melbourne (YACEP) / Nov 2019 15hr Guiding inner journeys – NLP for yoga teachers Amy Bell / Oct 2019 60hr Trauma informed and Community yoga Yoga For Humankind, Melbourne (YACEP) / Feb 2019 12 month Master Practitioner Mentoring program The Light Collective with Sian Pascale, Melbourne (YACEP) / Jan - Dec 2019 25hr Mindfulness for peak performance and wellbeing Monash University / Oct 2018 50hr Yoga of Sound & Mantra Training Mei Lai Swan, Melbourne (YACEP) / Sept 2018 25hr Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation Teacher Training The Light Collective with Sian Pascale, Melbourne (YACEP) / April 2018 200hr RYT (Yoga and Meditation) Parimukti School, Arambol, India (YACEP) / Oct 2017 https://www.etherealmovements.com/resources-faqs daily 0.75 2021-11-13 https://www.etherealmovements.com/home daily 1.0 2022-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606198846575-6G5ATMZB8E0N7X9SVKZS/Katie-234.jpg Home About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606198457188-SSNEZPXEECAC1HRKU7PX/Katie-141.jpg Home Embodied Mindfulness & Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606198327109-S2GADK2WI8T357O3BV12/Katie-201.jpg Home Yoga & Mindful Movement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/356570e6-6b97-4334-bcb8-843669590636/IMG_3840.JPG Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606198423416-393JE90XXIPQK37VQO6V/Katie-23.jpg Home - Refined Breathwork https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1618143345757-0CVV3WDSDQL0LTHNETTP/Workplace%2BWellbeing Home Workplace Wellbeing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1605765778765-ZXJ6SGIOKQGSNYF5KY7B/Katie+Beach+break+bondg.jpg Home - Why the name Ethereal Movements? Ether is the most subtle element yet the greatest container we have. It’s the background against which everything else becomes recognisable. My hope is that you can use these practices to tune into the subtle layers of your own container - your own body, your own experiences - and reconnect with your own awe to live a more easeful and fulfilled life. One that feels like it flows and has great synergy with the people and experiences that surround you. If we can live life more consciously - a life filled with more moments of awe and wonder - why wouldn’t we? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606198846575-6G5ATMZB8E0N7X9SVKZS/Katie-234.jpg Home About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606375384587-LBC0L1BLYYLUMSL50ETA/Katie-201.jpg Home FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1606375473449-2SGVXBE4YXFW38SEAON2/fc9f76b3-f8be-45cc-b89c-090ce4f06daa%2Bcopy.jpg Home Resources https://www.etherealmovements.com/embodied-mindfulness-meditation daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1605767132474-YLE9CYXSUS1ZJ21H4K37/Katie-52.jpg Embodied Mindfulness & Meditation - Energy Management & Mindfulness A collection of practices and rituals designed to support holistic (physical, emotional, mental and mindful) energy management, cultivate gratitude and embody mindfulness.

The body is infinitely complex and uniquely yours. Like training muscles, through these sessions we’re often re-training the lungs and unlearning some patterns - both in the breath and the mind. It’s a beautiful thing to give yourself time to explore and observe. We get to unpack where the breath is taking you, what felt-sense observations you’re having, identify what might be worth refining in terms of technique and adapt practices accordingly to serve you exactly where you’re at (or maybe where’d you like to be). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1636804862151-X0BIMULYPU834CJE6A84/Katie-178.jpg Book & Buy - Embodied breath, integrated home practice (series) https://www.etherealmovements.com/book-buy/p/attune-group-breathwork-journey monthly 0.5 2021-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622850559360-CY3A3EXYTZWKO463E0B1/1.png Book & Buy - Attune ~ Group breathwork journey https://www.etherealmovements.com/book-buy/p/spring-bowl-6kcpm monthly 0.5 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622846607925-M7KV3NC9MDNHPHIJWPRB/Katie-87.jpg Book & Buy - Personal Sadhana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622844788664-SV84MFRMXTRQZI8YWYSA/IMG_3819.JPG Book & Buy - Personal Sadhana https://www.etherealmovements.com/book-buy/p/milk-dip-cup-njfah monthly 0.5 2021-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622848753434-VW74RYL48RWMHBYQ6XBH/Screen+Shot+2021-06-05+at+9.12.47+am.png Book & Buy - Himalayan journey: Fundraiser to share yoga with Women affected by violence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622849250685-BI2I87WMCJQTS9H05G8W/Katie-240.jpg Book & Buy - Himalayan journey: Fundraiser to share yoga with Women affected by violence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622849262566-CNG828IWMDH5R82KA1BU/Katie-240.jpg Book & Buy - Himalayan journey: Fundraiser to share yoga with Women affected by violence https://www.etherealmovements.com/book-buy/p/country-feast-set-lk43s monthly 0.5 2021-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622847270638-SX49XMCE3VVVAGL7T7MD/Katie-74.jpg Book & Buy - Foundational Pranayama and Kriya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84321b01f522764540b377/1622844015458-C2I05ZFU864KOMLYIDFD/Katie-97.jpg Book & Buy - Foundational Pranayama and Kriya
