April J Yoga

A little over a year ago I was in an accident and broke 7 vertebrae in my neck and back requiring surgery. After months of limited physical activity, I began physical therapy a couple times per week. I just wasn’t getting what I needed from my health care team to recover. I decided to try yoga. I approached April and explained my condition and goals. She could not have been more accommodating. The studio environment is so welcoming and soothing. April guides her classes through movements while constantly reminding us to do what we feel is right or comfortable for our bodies. I’ve never felt pushed or intimidated by anyone at the studio. April’s website makes it so easy to see the class schedules, to sign up and to sign in. After 6 months with April, I’ve spent less money on my physical recovery than I would have in PT co-pays and my doctors are very happy and impressed with my strength, flexibility and range of motion and so am I. No matter what your condition, size or abilities, there is a place for you at April J yoga studio. I whole heartedly recommend giving April J Yoga a try.

Absolutely love April J Yoga and the different classes offered. April is an energetic, empowering, and compassionate instructor. She makes sure to show modifications and remind everyone to go at their own pace which is just makes you feel comfortable and like you belong no matter what stage you are personally at. I started with the Pound Unplugged class, which I now attend religiously, but have also taken interest in Fierce and the Flow classes. The workouts are great- mind, body, and soul wise- and the feeling of connectedness and community is better!

I'm still new to the yoga practice, but I'm so glad l started at April J Yoga. The Somatic Yoga has been a game changer for my mental health and overall well-being. April is a kind and caring instructor that truly enjoys sharing her time with us.

April came to do a session of chair yoga for the nurses at the Reading Hospital as a team building event. She was the most kind compassionate and best instructor . Many had never done yoga before and were so pleased with it they want to sign up for her classes. Thank you again April for a great day !

I had my first pound class with April. I immediately connected to how she taught. She teaches with sharp focus for all levels in their wellness journey. It was truly cathartic. I drove home to my house with tears streaming down my face. I plan on taking regular pound classes with her. 💕
