Meet the Owner

April is a therapeutic yoga teacher and a mom who loves to roller blade, hike, kayak, write, bake, dance, and sing. She loves the landscape and four seasons of the midwest. Her favorite foods are breakfast foods (all kinds) and chocolate. When they aren’t tossing toys for their pet cat, April and her daughter can't get enough arts and crafts, and movie time!

April was initially drawn to yoga because of the increasing severity of chronic pain associated with her scoliosis.  What she found through SomaYoga was relief on a much grander scale.  When she began to address and unwind the physical body, her mental health was able to have some attention as well. Life long depression, and a more recent development of anxiety, caused habitualized thought patterns that often lead to “I can’t (and shouldn’t).” Through the progression of her yoga practice she learned to reply softly and supportively with, “I can.”
