April's Teaching Style: During her challenging vinyasa flow class, April encourages students to pay attention to the breath and to experiment in their own practice. While teaching creative and strong sequences she also guides students though alignment and transitions, creating a playful and safe space. While her class requires focus and strength it also allows for laughter and letting go.
