Since my yoga session with April, I feel better than I have for a long time. The physical work of my job along with long hours as sitting at a computer had left me with almost constant tension headaches, an aching body, and a lot of stress. April took the time to learn about what I was looking to get out of our session before we met and came up with a unique sequence especially for me. Having little yoga experience, April was patient and helpful as I learned the new poses. She made it very easy for me to turn this routine into a daily practice. I would highly recommend April to anyone that would like to utilize yoga to work on a specific condition. She is a calming presence and a wonderful yoga instructor.

You have been the most incredible specialist and we feel you are the perfect fit for our school. Your demeanor, thoughtful teaching style and appropriate and in-depth themes that show real world/science/yoga/movement connections for our students are wonderful. Thank you for being the most positive spirit and light each time you visit us. 

April's warmth, openness and creative energy pour out of her spontaneously and bring out the best in her students their grown-ups… By encouraging adults and kids alike to slow down and find delight in movement, stillness, songs and stories, April helps her community of students find balance, stay energized and feel free. What a world it would be if all teachers of young people brought this level of intention and energy to their work!

April’s enthusiasm and warmth made my reluctant two year old feel comfortable and eager to join in.  She connects with every child and makes them feel special while allowing the moms to get a good stretch or two.

Your class reminded me to be a better listener to myself so thank you! 

My son was having a really tough morning. Your yoga class really turned it around for him and I wanted to thank you. After the feelings check-in he said, “I was feeling so angry and unhappy before yoga, but now I’m back to being calm.”  

We are incredibly thankful for you and the light you bring to our family each week.  Thank you for your warmth, kindness, and patient attention for our daughter, and for giving her wonderful adventures during this otherwise difficult time.

Our son really took to your class, and we were always so impressed with how no matter what their moods were going in, that both kids were drawn in and so engaged for the duration of the class. It was really such a gift during this time especially.

I was going to write you and say how much I’ve loved doing yoga with you!  Definitely one of the highlights of quarantine for me - it always was a great way to start the day.  You do such a nice job weaving in fun and movement and stories.  And doing the snake family part always made me smile!!   So thank you!  

I can’t let the day pass without telling you how great your River class was! 

Every time you said their names you let them know they’re being heard, that space is being held for them.

It’s such a pleasure to see you sharing your gifts with the kids April!! Such wonderful and genuine teaching, filled with love - the most important ingredient there is - or ever will be. 

The class not only brightens my daughter’s day and gives her a safe space to connect her body and imagination, but we see its lasting effects all week: from her demonstrating to us new poses April has taught her, to making up her own “poses” as she pretends to be the yoga instructor, to her recent use of her yoga breathing as a way to calm herself when she’s upset. All pure gold to a parent and a great foundation for her love of yoga and awareness of her body in future years

I'm amazed at how well you teach the children. Your energy and presence shine even if we're not together in person. Thanks for making this fun for everyone especially during this time.
