"Beverly Stokes’ work made me think about and observe
movement in an entirely new way. Understanding the developmental
process and how movement skills emerge in our first year of
life is critical for anyone working in a movement-related field.
Thank you for such a rich and varied experience. You have informed
my studio work in a very deep way."
Margot McKinnon, Director
Body Harmonics Pilates
"Beverly's
attitude of profound respect for the journey of human movement
development informs all of the instructional material. The
week was nothing short of AMAZING!"
Christine Culbert, RN, BSN, CCE
Certified Childbirth Educator
"It was a pleasure to study with Beverly and especially
to watch her keen observation skills with adults and babies
alike. As both a movement educator and a parent, Beverly's
work has provided me with an excellent guide to understanding
the development of babies through movement."
Susan Sinclar, Teacher, Pilates Method,
Director - Alexander Alliance Toronto
"Beverly's workshop is multi-faceted and would be helpful
for anyone who has a child or works with infants in any capacity.
Observing the babies in the class, I tuned more deeply into
their world of experience and expression and discovered that
I was better able to understand, relate and interact with
them"
Christine Reeves
Prenatal & Postpartum Yoga Teacher
"I will see the child as more fluid, less static, more
dynamic now that I have gained insight into the developmental
movements and their depths. Beverly's gentle way of working
with the parents and children has inspired me."
Donna Stusser
Waldorf Early Childhood Educator
"Beverly conveys her profound knowledge of developmental
movement with clarity and precision. Her passion and dedication
in this field is exceptional. Watching her sensitive interaction
with the babies at the workshop brought the theory to life.
The material will enhance my own teaching"
