Hello I’m Bev, 

My first introduction to yoga was peering through a window of the community centre where I saw people sitting like statues, bending and stretching followed by more sitting and humming, and I wanted to know why the old people in the village hall could stand on their heads and I could not. I was about 10 when this thought entered my head. Now, I'm probably at the age those 'old ' people were when I first pressed my nose into that cool pane of glass. The memory of it lets me smile at my innocence and ignorance and be pleased of course that I  can now do a headstand which mesmerises my young nieces, and so the cycle continues. 

My yoga practice and I have a long friendship. A  friendship that has fluctuated over the years from best friends, to not getting along , and sometime turning my back on. The of course represents my relationship with myself and my practice is my best and most truthful mirror. 

My interest in what I am and how yoga can help me to be, has taken me on a journey of experiential learning and formal education. I'm a yogi, Lead Teacher on 250 and 300hr Yoga Teacher Training and I'm  a Neuromuscular Physical Therapist with a deep fascination of how our minds affects our body and ultimately it's energy. 

I specialise in neuromuscular compensatory patterns that help the body to stabilise itself after injury or illness. Those same patterns shape the way we breathe, move, and feel. Strong patterns get stronger, weak patterns get weaker.  

The bonus of my work is that I can teach people how to treat themselves, to understand why their bodies are lopsided or not working they way it once did. Through simple anatomy and the interconnectedness of the body and mind I help yogis and teachers to assess, realign and learn how we move. It's a simple process that can be applied to all aspects of life. 

I love my work, it’s a real privilege to be able to share something so useful.
