april yoga teacher

April Davis

April is an embodied movement facilitator, sound therapist, and trainee psychotherapist sharing her work through retreats, studios, events, and workshops across the UK and abroad. Her offerings are rooted in a deep love for movement, connection, nature, astrology, and the mind–body–soul relationship, with an intention to create spaces that feel nurturing, safe, and deeply human.

Her yoga teaching blends vinyasa, hatha, yin, restorative, somatics and yoga nidra, with a strong emphasis on embodiment, nervous system awareness, and intuitive pacing. She brings a gentle yet uplifting energy to retreat spaces, offering practices that can be both grounding and expansive. Her approach is trauma-informed and compassionate, inviting guests to meet themselves where they are, whether they’re craving rest, challenge, or something in between, always within a non-competitive, supportive environment.

Her journey with yoga began in her early twenties as a way to reconnect with her body on a deeper level. What started as a personal practice has since become a way of life, woven into how she moves, cooks, connects, and lives. She practices what she teaches daily and is deeply passionate about retreat spaces as containers for transformation, rest, and reconnection.

What can you expect on a retreat with April:
Guests on retreat can expect a thoughtful balance of energising movement and deeply restorative practices, woven together with intention-setting, reflection, and moments of stillness. She holds space with warmth and presence, encouraging connection not only to the body, but also to breath, emotion, and inner rhythms. Her aim is for guests to leave feeling regulated, grounded, and more at home within themselves.

Other retreat offerings:
Alongside yoga, she offers sound baths aligned with lunar cycles and 1:1 sound healing sessions, drawing on a years-long, intensive sound therapy training. Using gongs, crystal bowls, and drums, she creates immersive sound journeys that support deep rest, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance.
