Beverly Atkins Interview Episode 699

What if one of the most important skills we could develop today isn't having more answers—but becoming better at asking questions? In a world filled with constant information, instant solutions, and endless distractions, curiosity can sometimes feel like a lost practice. But today's guest believes curiosity is not just a personality trait—it is something we can cultivate through awareness, attention, and the way we experience our own bodies. Joining me is Beverly Atkins, creator of Pauseture, an app built around the Feldenkrais Method, a movement and awareness practice designed to help people reconnect with themselves through exploration rather than correction. Beverly's journey began with a personal struggle: debilitating back pain that conventional approaches weren't resolving. A single Feldenkrais lesson changed everything, leading her to ask deeper questions about movement, awareness, and how the brain learns. That curiosity eventually led her to complete a four-year Feldenkrais certification program, develop a private practice, and create Pauseture to bring these lessons to a wider audience. Today we'll discuss why questions matter, how awareness changes the way we move through the world, what happens when we slow down enough to notice ourselves, and why curiosity may be one of the most important skills we can strengthen.
