Less a traditional anatomy text than an expansive somatic atlas, Bodyscapes is an astonishing, textured, and interdisciplinary invitation to the wonders of our bodies.

A body-based journey of renewal, transformation, and discovery—somatic practices, embodied tools, and meaning-making myth

Beautifully written, deeply immersive, and enhanced with lush illustrations, Beverley Nolan’s Bodyscapes offers readers embodied tools for healing—and a delightfully unexpected approach to re-knowing our essential anatomy.

Moving from the smallest cell to the complexity of the fascial web, Bodyscapes is organized in 10 body systems. From FEEL: tending your heart and UNIFY: harmonizing the breath to SATISFY: renewing your affinity with fat, each chapter shares affirming practices to reclaim your innate somatic wisdom…and come home to a new understanding of the vibrant joys, curious wonders, and unexpected connections of your body. You’ll discover:

• Guided somatic exercises
  
• Reflective journaling prompts
  
• Creative inspiration drawn from myth and folklore
  
• Practices to integrate body, mind, and emotions
  

Here, you’ll learn how the heart acts as a vessel: it embodies giving, receiving, and holding, assertiveness on the out-pump and restorative calm on the in-pump. You’ll be invited to appreciate fat in new ways: its active, vital role in energy and protection. And you’ll discover how breath is the unifying force that speaks the story of your inner world.

Interwoven with myth, story, and folklore, Bodyscapes is for somatic therapists, movement professionals, seekers, and readers looking to ground, deepen, integrate, and heal. Bodyscapes opens us up to ourselves—to the systems of sublime miracles that often go unacknowledged, unseen, and unclaimed as the intelligent, supportive pieces of us that they are—and nourishes a new way of moving, transforming, and showing up to the world.
