“The body is not a thing, it is a situation. It is our grasp on the world and our sketch of our project.”

SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR

Hi, I’m Beverley

For more than 35 years, I’ve been exploring the conversation between body, mind, and self, first through the practice of yoga, then deepening into the rich landscapes of experiential anatomy, developmental movement, and Authentic Movement.

Whether you're a yoga teacher wanting to bring more nuance to your work, a somatic coach or therapist exploring embodied approaches, or a curious practitioner reconnecting with your own embodied wisdom, my workshops and courses create space for you to slow down, pay attention, and find new ways to think, feel, and move through your body.

I’m also an author. My book Bodyscapes will be published by North Atlantic Books in autumn 2026 - an experiential journey through ten body terrains for somatic practitioners, movement teachers and anyone seeking a deeper relationship with their own anatomy. Every reader will also receive access to an exclusive online companion library of video practices, audio explorations and curated resources, organised chapter by chapter.

For monthly inspiration, I explore themes of embodiment and somatic practice in my Substack publication Field Notes from the Body. There is a free edition every month with follow-up resources for paid subscribers.

If you’re seeking depth, nuance and teaching rooted in decades of lived experience, you are in the right place; and I’m thrilled you are here.

BODYSCAPES LIBRARY

When Bodyscapes publishes in Autumn 2026, every reader will unlock access to an exclusive online resource library — a chapter-by-chapter collection of video practices, audio explorations, curated Spotify playlists, and Pinterest boards designed to bring the book's somatic enquiries to life in your body.

This content is an integral part of the Bodyscapes experience, and you can return again and again to each set in your own time, working sequentially or as your curiosity inspires you.

Importantly, I’d love it, if you used my resource sets as springboards for creating your own. Follow your imagination and intuition and see where they take you.

The library opens with the book. Be the first to know when it launches.

When the body shifts from being an object that we do something to or with, it becomes a prism for self-understanding.

With me, you’ll explore not only your muscles, bones and joints, but also connect with the character, language, and imagery of your various body systems: the buoyancy of organs, the vitality of blood, the focus of lymph, and so much more.

You’ll have time to make choices not only about movement, but also discover new avenues for processing feelings and accessing your imagination.

All of this will enhance your skills and capacity for holding invitational, non-judgemental space for yourself, groups and clients - fostering a renewed body-mind awareness.
