Meet April Showman
Certified Yoga Instructor and Therapist, Thai Yoga Massage Therapist, Holistic Nutritionist, Natural Food Chef, and Reiki Healer
A lifelong student of healing
April began practicing yoga in 2003 while attending Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. What started as a personal practice became a calling, one that has carried her across the world in pursuit of authentic, time-honored healing arts.
She earned her 200-hour Hatha Yoga certification from the Shambhava School of Yoga in Rollinsville, Colorado, and went on to complete a 300-hour Yoga Therapy education at The Yoga Life Institute. In 2013, she traveled through Thailand and India, studying Thai Massage in Chiang Mai at the renowned Old Medicine Hospital.
Today she shares her knowledge and passion for holistic, healthy living, guiding others toward nourishment, balance, and wellbeing through every service she offers.
Training & certifications
More than two decades of dedicated study with master teachers across three continents.
April's approach is shaped by every teacher and tradition she has studied: the alignment principles of Anusara, the energetic depth of Vedic Thai-Yoga bodywork, and the nourishing foundations of holistic nutrition.
Beyond her practice, she loves preparing gluten-free, plant-based, organic whole foods that heal and nourish the body. She also enjoys playing guitar and singing, bike riding, hiking, and skiing.
