Hey, I’m April

A smiling person with short dark hair and a septum piercing stands outdoors in front of a leafy tree, wearing a brown t-shirt on a sunny day.

How many spaces or places can you think of where you can show up with nothing, and get everything?

Restorative Yoga is exactly that for me.

I know if I read these words written by someone else, I'd be thinking 'they drank the cool aid'. But I'm not in the business of hustling and selling you shit you don't need.

What I can tell you is that Restorative Yoga has taught me a kindness, softness and tenderness on a cellular level. When I engaged in a consistent practice in the form of Judith Hansen-Lasater, my intuition grew louder, or, maybe my ability to hear it increased, or, I had finally created a cellular softness that supported me with the compassion to recognise and accept the wrong turns I’d made. I found myself with the clarity, courage, and steadiness to move towards change. A peaceful rebellion.

I found my own story amongst all the others that live inside this body.

The clarity and contentment that comes from this practice is one of the many reasons I am passionate about sharing Restorative Yoga. I believe that deep conscious rest is the best gift you can give yourself and the planet. Whilst science has captured the physiological benefits of rest, no words capture the feeling.

What's so Radical?

Stress and exhaustion are often linked to systemic issues such as economic inequality, racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. These issues directly impact individual and collective wellbeing. Radical rest challenges the structural barriers that can inhibit relaxation and wellness. Not just on a personal level but on a community level too.  

Radical rest peacefully pushes back on societal norms that value doing and productivity over wellbeing. Radical Rest hopes to foster a culture where rest is viewed as a normal and vital part of a healthy and balanced life.
