Meet Kirsten [She/Her/They/Them]

Look Over There!

Here is where I insert my formal biography and you speed read through it. You will likely latch onto the parts you love and roll your eyes at the parts you find far fetched. It’s a complicated relationship between Interweb connections. But, I trust that when you finish reading the formal biography you will be ready for the more down-to-earth, awkward person next door that you were hoping to speak to today. I’ll wait while you read.

Formal Introduction

Kirsten Beverley-Waters is an author, Yoga Medicine teacher, and multi-sport athletic coach, and World Record Holder that specializes in human movement patterns with a neuromusculoskeletal focus. With 15+ years of practice and devotion to the evolution of human movement and mental performance, each practice becomes an unhurried exploration of the physical, mental, and spiritual connection. As a LGBTQIA+ yoga teacher, they offer students a safe space to explore, express, and experience their queer bodies in practice. Through their experiences with cancer, mental health, and grief, Kirsten helps others transform moments that grab hold of them the hardest and transform them into personal growth practices. When they are not teaching or coaching, Kirsten speaks on the human condition and how our biographies transform our biology.
Kirsten leads yoga and mindfulness training around the world and offers training for educators and coaches across the country. As a dynamic speaker and lecturer, Kirsten has been invited to work with local universities and high schools in creating mental health mindfulness training programs for athletes. They continue their work one-on-one with cancer and chronic pain patients developing personalized therapeutic yoga practices that address each student's cranio-sacral rhythm and nervous system response.
Kirsten holds a Bachelors of Science from Kent State University, as well as multiple certifications through the American College of Sports Medicine, Crossfit, and Precision Nutrition. Kirsten also holds training and certifications in Emergency Medical & Neurodiagnostic Technology.

The Everyday Kirsten

I will assume you finished the formal introduction and are ready to get to know me a little less formally. Here’s my story. More than the professional byline and technical teachings. I am active. I can be found at 39-years-old still climbing trees and playing in tree houses. I love a good dinosaur yoga video with my good friend "Rexy" the T-rex.

I want my students to be happy, healthy, and strong in their convictions. I want to foster a space of love, compassion, and lots of humor, oh please laugh with me. If you choose to join a training of mine online or in person I hope you will learn to find your edge and teeter over it a bit. My teachings are meant to challenge you, which means at times you might not like me so much (I’m okay with that).

I hope you will introduce yourself and share your story with me. All you need to do is take the first step. Reach out your hand and say hello. I know reaching out can be scary, but I promise it's not nearly as scary as wondering, "What if?"

—Kirsten

What People Are Saying

“I met Kirsten when she was the keynote speaker for Hyde Leadership conference for more than 3000+ Maine students. I invited her to teacher at my spring and summer wilderness programs for at-risk students. Kirsten speaks from her experiences of overcoming challenges and inspires others to do the same. She views struggle as a positive force that unifies us all. Kirsten’s passion for understanding and overcoming struggle is coupled with a genuine desire for others health and wellness.”

— Michelle Beebe, Former Director of Wilderness School at Hyde

“I went after a dream I didn’t believe I could have until I met Kirsten. I made it Rim to Rim through the Grand Canyon. It was an awesome adventure for me because I did plenty of training beforehand. I am so grateful for Kirsten’s coaching to help me traverse beyond the physical challenges of this goal.”

— Louisa Archer, Maine

I’ve never met someone with such an infectious personality and passion for others. Kirsten’s teachings taught even this 75-year-old woman a few life lessons.
