April Gutierrez – (Guest) Yoga Instructor & Wellness Guide
April Gutierrez discovered yoga in 2015 during one of the most challenging periods of her life—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. At the time, she felt disconnected from herself and her purpose, struggling daily with anxiety, depression, and an overall lack of joy. It was through simple practices like walking and meditation that she began reconnecting with her mind and body, eventually leading her to explore physical yoga.
Her classes are designed to support emotional healing, inner strength, and help others reconnect to themselves—just as she did.
April believes that true wellness is a journey, and she’s honored to guide others as they walk their own path toward joy, vitality, and self-discovery.
