"I began taking April Diane’s excellent yoga class at the Freeport Library in September of 2018. April Diane makes the class fun and takes the time to explain and breakdown each movement, always reminding us to seek our own comfort level. Her wonderful smile brightens the room and I’m so thankful to have found this class.”

"April Diane is an awesome yoga guru, from beginning to end.

Starting from our individual selection of self-affirmation, breathing, stretching to meditation. As a new comer to Yoga there wasn’t any aspect of these classes that I didn’t find rewarding and fulfilling .The classes has been enlighten and inspiring .I feel more motivated to enhance and build upon what I have been taught thus far.

Thank you April Diane as a student I will say yes, yes to my continuation."

I really appreciate the experience of all yoga instructors, especially Ms. AprilDiane, who is responsible for "Creating The Habit Of Wellness." I respect her commitment and broad knowledge of spirituality infused through yoga. The fluid movements through her instructions assisted me in getting to know my body better. I felt very comfortable and also confident during each class I attended. This experience taught me how use proper alignment of my unlimited muscle tone and deepened my respect for this science. I highly recommend this class with Ms. April Diane if anyone is serious about connecting Mind, Body, and Spirit through yoga. Thank you.

"I began attending April Diane's Yoga class 4 months ago. April is a very patient, kind, caring, and informative instructor. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I teach deep breathing to my clients and practice it regularly myself. However, through her class I have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of incorporating deep breathing with movement. Her class is something I look forward to every week because I know I will leave feeling better physically and mentally. I feel lucky to have met April and enjoy the comradery she builds within the class. I'm grateful to have a space where I can practice what I teach."

“Yoga with April is a mindfulness experience in itself. Her voice was created for this type of work. April’s vocal guidance during meditation is sure to transcend all your negative frustrations from the day into positive energy. You won’t regret it and as a bonus you’ll walk out feeling at peace.”

I was spiritually guided to April back in November. She has been such a wonderful addition to my spiritual practice. Her wisdom coupled with her passion to help others inspires me. I have attended several different yoga classes and each time I felt so lost in the classes that I felt discouraged to try again. It's hard to do yoga as a beginner in a full class because the instructors don't give the beginners special attention which is what I needed. When I decided to begin a self care routine I was searching for personalized attention so I can learn how to do the poses correctly while connecting to my breath. I finally came across April Diane Health Coach. Without thinking twice (bc I knew she was the answer) I went for it and purchased 8 sessions to start. April has helped me get into a better self care routine where not only am I doing yoga once a week with her but she has brought so much more insight about what self care really means and I am so grateful for that. I'm instilling self worth which is helping me become stronger and hone into my spiritual gifts.

Every session I learn something new about myself. Our sessions are always refreshing and eye opening.

I have been to a counselor, therapist and life coaching. Not one of them guided me towards wellness overall like April Diane has. She is truly gifted and knowledgeable in so many areas of wellness that no matter what you have experienced in the past, you will feel like she brings it all together! From Yoga, to meditation, to nutrition... she is able to hone in on the perfect concoction to help you be your best self!

When I came to SHINE, I was at the beginning of my self-care journey. There were a lot of great things about me that I had forgotten or had yet to discover; and a lot of negative ideas about myself that I needed to unlearn. April Diane took her time, carefully applying what was needed to help unpack, confront, focus and actually apply what I’ve even learning to my daily life. It’s been a year and two months and I am far more attentive to my own needs, I manage relationships and setbacks far better than in the past, and I am totally convinced that I am fully capable and can have everything that I’ve ever dreamed of. I am not afraid to say “YES!” to me and “NO!” to anything that doesn’t serve me and help me to be my best self for others. In essence, SHINE rocks. Period.
