Back In Action
Shaking Off the Dust
After a season of moving and hibernating, I’m finally emerging—shaking off the dust and stepping back into the flow!
Life threw me a curveball with a sudden health crisis, which led to closing my studio. It happened right at the moment when I either needed more space or more practitioners to keep up with the momentum. Looking back, I can’t help but thank the stars for guiding me toward a more grounded existence—one with room to fully embrace all my passions.
With time to rest, my body found its balance again.
Now, I’m working with incredible organizations doing restoration work across the globe, writing grants for local farms, environmental initiatives, social justice, and cultural diversity projects—all while still making space for a few classes each week. Life is good! Even in the chaos, when it feels like navigating stormy waters, somehow, I always seem to wash up somewhere nurturing.
Yoga & Community
I’m still teaching my beloved Port Ludlow class at the Beach Club, where I’ve been since the summer of 2022—and what a journey it’s been! We started at the Totem Pole, moved to the Bridge Deck, and finally found our home in the beautiful Bay Room overlooking the inlet. It’s been a little over two years in this space, and every class feels like a gift. A huge thank you to Tom Humphries for his unwavering support—organizing emails, sending reminders, setting up, cleaning up, and patiently listening to my endless musings. He’s a true friend, and I’m beyond grateful. And to Roni, for her inspiration and guidance—this whole crew is simply wonderful!
Recently, I had the privilege of filling in for Andrea Womack at New Port Academy, a boys’ home for troubled youth. That experience has been deeply enriching and eye-opening. Andrea is an incredible leader in our community. She hosted Hypnotherapy and Sound Healing Sessions at the Astro Yoga Studio when it was operating. Since then, she and I started a Peninsula Women’s Group which she is now spearheading on her own after birthing a gorgeous baby. She’s also started an consulting service! She’s a powerhouse!
I’ve also started collaborating with Gabrielle Gribbin and Anna Mae’s Peninsula Ecstatic Dance hosted EVERY Wednesday now. I have offered a Pre-dance Movement & Embodiment Workshop that begins at 6:30 PM at Bridget’s Loft in Port Townsend. This is a rotating community offering, so stay tuned to our social media to keep up with upcoming events and who’s hosting the next workshop!
And more exciting news—I’m now hosting a Tuesday evening class (5–6 PM) at the Port Townsend Athletic Club! As many of you know, I move with the energy of the people who show up. Whether it’s sculpting, Yin, joint care, digestion support… I tune in to what our bodies need in the moment and what the cosmos is whispering to us as our guiding force behind our movement.
There’s also potential for a class out on Wayne Chimenti’s property on Marrowstone. Wayne is the director of the Community Boat Project and former skipper of the Adventuress. I’ve been working with Anna Pallotta via Global Earth Repair Foundation and Friends Of the Trees which has been an absolute JOY to my heart and soul. Anna suggested that I come teach in the beautiful Dome located on the land and is working to coordinate that for us now. That class is proposed for Sunday evenings 4-5 PM.
A Season of Change
I hope this update finds you well. I know I’ve been quiet for a while, but this seasonal reset was truly significant for me. Thank you for your patience and for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to move with you all again soon.
With gratitude,
April
