Meet your instructor

My name is April, and I have always been drawn to movement. I studied health, exercise, and rehabilitative sciences at Winona State University, which gave me a strong foundation for understanding the body and how it works. I found my true calling in yoga. In 2017, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the University of Minnesota's Center for Spirituality and Healing and later completed a 300-hour training in 2022 at Lifetime Fitness.

I have personally experienced burnout and the challenges of balancing work, life, and personal wellbeing. Yoga, breathwork, and meditation have become anchors for me during uncertain times. These practices have helped me regain energy, focus, and calm.

Now, I am dedicated to sharing these tools with others. I believe that through yoga and mindfulness practices, anyone can find balance, resilience, and joy in both work and life. I also offer Puppy Yoga, combining playful connection with mindful movement, because joy and lightheartedness are powerful tools for wellbeing.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "I have been seeing April for one-on-one mobility and stretching sessions for over 1 year now. As a 50 year old , my mobility was a significant issue when working out three days a week with my trainer; however, the improvements my personal trainer and I have seen have been significant. I have seen increases in reps and weight with chest, shoulder, and back exercises, and, major increases with my leg work outs. The biggest improvement I have seen with our sessions has been my reduced recovery time and decrease in soreness."

  • "When I first stepped into April's yoga class it felt like home. I started my yoga journey 14 years ago and with starting a family and being entrenched in mom life, my yoga practice got put on the back burner. I felt the desire to start back up and went to multiple different classes with different teachers until I found April's class. I was hooked. Not only does she give her heart and soul into the class and sequence but she deeply cares about you and your practice. Her classes are challenging and yet do-able in a way that leaves you feeling empowered. She helped me fall back in love with yoga and gave me a safe space to deepen my practice and my awareness of myself - a gift I am so grateful for."

  • "April's yoga teaching has been one of the most positive and healing forces in my life. I have learned so, so much, and each time I've come away trusting my body's strength a little more and knowing my deep down self a little better. April's teaching style is gentle, patient, encouraging, playfully challenging, and supportive of each person as a unique individual. Her yoga classes have been a weekly anchor and highlight, always bringing inspiration and hope and the warmest, friendliest energy."
