Dear Students,
This coming weekend is my last weekend to teach, so I hope you will all be there if you can to help me celebrate a new phase in my life, and a new phase in your yoga practice: learning to be open to the new!
Yes, I AM teaching on Saturday morning, June 20th, and both my beginner classes on Sunday. Sorry about the confusion, I've had some scheduling conflicts with my childbirth class, but alas, I WILL be teaching all 3 classes this weekend.
Just so you know who will be teaching which class, here goes:
Tues - 5:30 beginner/prenatal - Jewel
Sat, 11am Level One - Jules
Sun, 11am Beginner - Nathalie
Sun, 12:45 Beginner - Calysta
All four of these women have excellent training, and are wonderful and caring individuals. I feel very confident knowing that my students will be in their capable hands, and know that you will all have fun getting to know each other. They all have their own unique teaching styles and amazing personalities, so please enjoy the benefits this lends to your practice!
Remember to talk to your new teachers BEFORE class if you have any injuries or other concerns, and try to remember they have a whole class full of students to accommodate, so it will take a little bit of time for everyone to adjust. It's important to be constructive with your comments and requests. And as always, feel free to talk to Cheryl - she cares very much about her students and the GODA community.
For my private clients, I will be slowing down in that area as well, next week will be my last week to teach privates. However, I do have names and numbers of other teachers who are willing to teach privates as well, so I will contact you individually about that.
I thank each of the teachers who have kindly stepped in to help while I am gone, and Cheryl for helping me get my classes covered and for being such a supportive and flexible boss (no pun intended)! You are all amazing.
Also, I just want to thank all of my students who have been truly wonderful and supportive to me in this time of transition. You are all such a joy to teach. Please stay tuned to my blog, as I will try to post little tidbits here and there while I'm on leave.
PLEASE continue your practice, take your classes, start or continue your home practice and feel free to touch base with me through posting comments on this blog.
Namaste!

About Me
Yoga changed my Life and it's just too good a thing to keep to myself! I have been practicing yoga since 1995 and am a certified yoga instructor. I teach a combination of classical Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow. My teaching style is safe, compassionate and challenging at the same time. I teach at a number of studios, and also offer private and group lessons!

The Art of Change
Hello my dedicated Yogis!
I am committed to writing on my blog more frequently so you may start to see some things not only yoga related, but tidbits from my whole life or even little works of yogic fiction. Since I'm going on leave soon, I'll need something to occupy my mind while awaiting our new arrival.
Those of you that haven't seen me for a while, yes, I am pregnant, and am due to give birth the end of July, although I swear this little one is coming sooner. Or maybe that's wishful thinking?
So, to all my GODA Yogis and students elsewhere, yes, I will be taking some time off to bond with my new little person, and to get the hang of being a new mom. Cheryl has been an unbelievably supportive boss and has given me a lot of flexibility. As of now, I'm going to be gone for approximately 4 months. My last day of teaching at GODA is Sunday, June 21st.
I DO plan on coming back to GODA as soon as I can. And I will keep you posted about teaching anywhere else. As for my private lessons, I can't really take on any new clients right now, and will also take some leave for a few months. I will work that out individually with my clients.
What does this mean? This means that change is in the air! But that's ok! It doesn't have to be bad! Change can be an extraordinary and exhilarating experience for everyone! Yes, I will have subs taking over my classes. Stay posted to my blog, because soon, I will post who will be taking over each of my classes. Trust me, Cheryl will make sure you are in great hands.
"But how do I deal with having a sub when I'm so used to April," you might ask... Well, here's the deal. When I first started teaching you all, I had to get used to my students, the studio, and you all had to get used to me, right? Well, the subs will be paying attention to how the class goes, they will get used to your names and faces and injuries, etc. And you will maybe learn some new poses, or new ways of doing or thinking about the poses. And I encourage both my students and my subs to keep an open dialogue - if something didn't work for you, ask the teacher about it after class, if it felt too hard or too easy, TALK TO THE TEACHER. Also be aware that as teachers, we often get conflicting reports: one student thought the class was too hard, another LOVED being challenged. It takes a little bit of time to strike a balance.
Also, it's a good time to use your breathe to open your heart and mind to some new styles of yoga, new teachers, new voices. Let it be an opportunity to explore and have some fun!
And, as always, if you are truly having any problems with the classes or teachers or what have you, TALK TO CHERYL! Cheryl is always interested in constructive feedback from students. Leave her a voice-mail, send her an email, or better yet, stop by and talk to her in person (she's usually there Mon, Weds, Friday in the mornings).
And remember, this is change for Cheryl, for the new subs, for you guys, and I am going through quite a bit of change myself. So let's all be as supportive as we can. We are a little community at GODA, after all.
I will keep making posts about my classes, how things are coming along with baby KirkHart, and maybe some other quirky stuff as it bubbles up in my brain. Feel free to send me topics you would love to hear me write about too!
Peace!

We are all connected...
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little," FDR, year 1940-something.
Yes, I think that means the essentials, money, food, clothing, shelter. But it also means compassion, love, honesty, justice, spirit, hope, etc.
So there. Consider it my birthday quote gift to you all!
On another topic, please note I'm no longer teaching the Wednesday late night flow class at GODA. It's just to late for a pregnant yogi to be teaching hot sweaty flow! Also, I will be taking a week or two vacation between now and July (when the baby is due) but I am still teaching, and teaching private lessons as well. At least up until late June, early July.
Stay tuned to my blog for thoughts, quotes, stories and baby-yogi updates.
Much love to all,
April

Finding balance, welcome to humble town!
Yes! I'm still alive!
At long last, my dear yogis and yoginis, I am back at the computer and writing a new blog. I know, I know, it's been a while. Sheesh, there's a lot going on!
First of all, it's spring. Can I get an "Amen!"???
As I write this blog, the scent of jasmine fills the air, and it is gorgeous outside. The evenness of the weather has made me realize just how up and down the world has been over the last few months.
We have a new President. Our country, and possibly world, is in financial crisis, the weather has changed, and it goes on and on.
Personally, I've experienced a number of other changes. Many of you know that I am pregnant, for those that didn't know, there you have it. I'm almost 21 weeks so far. So that's new. And every day is like a totally different world to me. My body feels different, my attitude is different, and it's not just automatic. I've worked at it.
I've slowed my own yoga practice down - not that you can't practice the same yoga you always have when you are pregnant, many women continue to practice challenging Flow-style yoga throughout all of their pregnancy- but inevitably, your practice changes somehow or in some way. Whether it's letting go of certain poses, realizing you can't do them the same way as before, or your pace may change, etc.
There are all kinds of surprises, some more welcomed than others. But even exploring the resistance I have felt, like letting go of a pose, for instance, or feeling frustrated in a pose that was normally not so challenging for me, are reminders that yoga is a wonderful reflection of Life in general.
Finding balance in my life is not easy. Balancing what I do for others with what I do for myself, balancing family with work, balancing needs with wants, etc. It's hard.
Some say that human suffering is caused by desire. Some say suffering is caused by attitude. I'd take a spin on those and say that a lot of suffering (maybe not all), at least for myself, is caused by creating preconceived expectations. In my own experience, that habit generally causes me to be less receptive to each moment, less receptive to what actually IS, as opposed to what I thought it ought to be, or want it to be.
Yoga and pregnancy are a lot alike in that sense. You can have as many expectations as you like, but whatever is happening, is what is happening, and you generally don't have ultimate control over it.
Does that mean that if something is happening that you don't like, you have to just take it? Not to me. I can still set my intention, I can still explore it, dig into it, or observe it more neutrally, and see what else comes up.
One day, while practicing at home, I realized that I can no longer do certain twists, even though I felt my spine begging for them. Then I realized, that certain inverted poses no longer feel safe or beneficial for me. Picture me trying to lay on my back, swing my feet over my head for halasana (plough pose) for shoulder stand, and realizing my belly was "in the way" and that I could no longer use my abdominal muscles the same way I had used to. I was so bummed that I had to slow down my pace, and then realized, that I wasn't listening to what my body was asking for, what it was TRULY asking for at that moment.
That has reminded me that while friends and family along with myself are struggling with the current economy and the many other changes that abound at this time, to check in with myself, check in with my breath, and FEEL what is most important to me in my life. To have as much patience and compassion as I can muster for myself and for others, and to be open to negotiating these changes with a sense of curiosity, openness and a humbled ego.
My center of balance is shifting, and I'm just gonna' go with it for now. Maybe the world's is too?
Any thoughts?

You can take classes from me ONLINE!!!
A while back, I video taped a few yoga classes to go online, and the company I worked with has now posted them.
There are 4 different classes: 3 are prenatal yoga classes, one for each trimester, and the fourth class is yoga for Senior Citizens or folks who are limited in mobility due to illness, or injury.
A word of caution; the company did not post the snippets in order, so each pose is demonstrated as a stand-alone. But they are still fun. Also, they didn't include my profile picture, but trust me, it's me! Just go ahead and click on the link, and feel free to email it to your friends, family, whomever you think might be interested!
Some Thank Yous are in order:
First, Denise Mazan from Your Neighborhood Studio graciously allowed me to use her studio (where I also teach on Sunday mornings!) for a 7-hour shoot. Thank you so much Denise! They were supposed to include her website address and I'm still trying to get a hold of the company to add it (it's: www.yourneighborhoodstudio.com).
Second, GODA Yoga allowed me to borrow some of the yoga props. Thank you to Cheryl Moss who allowed me to steal the props for a couple of days!
Third, Thank You a million time over to my lovely assistant, Katie Fernando, for being my prenatal model, and her lovely daughter who is now in the outside world happy and healthy and quite adorable. Katie, you really came through for me in a pinch. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labor (Ha!)
Finally, to all of my students: Thank you so much for all that I learn from each one of you, for reading my blog, for taking my classes and for being dedicated to your own yoga practice. You are truly inspiring!
And now, for your viewing pleasure, here is the link to my videos - please feel free to rate the videos, make comments (keep it clean) and whatever other fun stuff you can do on the website. As always, please share this link with your own peeps: http://www.expertvillage.com/expert/103901.htm
Coming soon: News of my holiday schedule!
Peace and have a wonderful week!

Frittata Yumminess...
Ok, I know I lag, it's been a while. It was a looooong summer, I must say, and I am only now willing to admit it is fall. Well, with the summer gone and behind me :-( I figure it is time for another recipe to get me all warmed back up to the blog. "But why THIS recipe, April," you might be asking yourself? Well for one thing, it's got some seasonal veggies in it, and for another, it's down-right comforting, and packed with protein, things we seem to crave as the days get shorter and the nights longer. Yes...even in LA. That's right, the sun don't shine even here forever.
My husband and I made this one in 20 minutes the other night. It was quite the work of art. And you could serve at least 5 people with this recipe or have it leftover for breakfast with some fruit. Add a side salad of hearty greens with a good balsamic vinaigrette and some crusty bread and you are golden for a dinner party. You know... because I have so many dinner parties.
Here's what you'll need:
*Vegans can substitute tofu-based cheeses and fats as well as egg substitutes - but I can't vouch for cook time or flavor there!
One head of broccoli crowns, chopped to 1/2 in pieces
1/2 large yellow onion sliced very thinly
1 leftover baked potato with the white scraped out
1/2 cup parmesean cheese*
1/2 cup swiss cheese*
2 Tbsp shredded fresh basil
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Butter (if you dare)*
12 Large Eggs (leave out a few yolks for a lower fat version - ew- or use egg substitute if you are vegan*.)
salt (Kosher please - it's the yummiest, and Yes, I AM an expert...)
fresh ground black pepper
cayenne pepper 1/4 to 1 Tsp depending on taste
One Med to large oven-safe cast iron skillet
Here's what you do:
Pre-heat the broiler. Heat the skillet on the stove top to Medium. Once heated, add 1 Tbsp Olive Oil, 1 Tbsp butter. Toss in the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, saute for 3 minutes. Add broccoli and saute another 5-7 minutes. Scoop out and put into a bowl, mix in the potato insides, and then let the whole mixture cool completely (COMPLETELY).
While the veggie mix is cooling, crack eggs into a separate bowl and beat GENTLY (think "Ahimsa," do no harm) with a pinch of salt and pepper and the cayenne pepper. Once the veggies are cool add them to the eggs, add the cheeses (leaving a little to sprinkle on top at the end.) Heat the skillet again on the stove top to medium. Let it get hot. Then add the remaining Olive Oil and Butter. Let them get hot and THEN add the egg/veggie mixture.
Let the egg/veggie mix sit, undisturbed for at least a minute so the bottom can settle. Then turn the heat to medium- low and cook for approximately 10 minutes. You can run a plastic spatula around the edges to make sure it's not sticking too much once every minute. If it does stick, don't panic. Breathe. It will be ok. Just wiggle the spatula gently and It'll unstick.
Last, sprinkle the last of the cheese over top and take the whole skillet and put it under the broiler for 30 sec to 1 minute. When it is done, take it out and let it rest for a few minutes. Then get that spatula in there to loosen it and gently slide it onto a big plate/platter to serve. Stare at the beauty and behold your creation...
Slice it like a pie, and then plate it with some fruit salad and OJ for breakfast, or your mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette, some nice bread and a crisp white wine for dinner.
Hey, I'm allowed a few vices...
Peace,
April

1/3 off Private Lessons and Deals!
Dear Work of Heart Yogis,
I wanted to let you all know that I have lowered my private lesson rates by 1/3. Everyone is feeling the squeeze right now, and I figured that now is a good time to give folks a break anyway that I can.
That being said, my private lesson rate has dropped from $90/hour to $60/hour. Remember, these make great presents for people too!
Here are some other deals:
~5 lesson package for 1 person - $250
~5 lesson package for 2 people - $480
~Refer someone who takes a lesson, get 1/2 off your next single private lesson.
~Rates for groups over 2 people are negotiable.
*Rates may vary depending on location.
How do private lessons work? Glad you asked!
I can either come to your house or I can try to find space and a time at one of the studios I work for to do the lesson (that may cost a little extra). We will discuss with you what you would like to achieve before the first lesson and we can create a yoga routine that will suit your needs, whether you have injuries, want to deepen your practice, or work on a particular pose or area of the body. We can work on breathing practices, relaxation and meditation as well. Again, it's your practice you are creating, and my job is to help you do that!
Feel free to call me at (310) 559-2570 or email me at: workofheartyoga@gmail.com to set up a private lesson or to ask any other questions you might have!
Thanks and have a beautiful day!
Peace,

We will discuss with you what you would like to achieve before the first lesson and we can create a yoga routine that will suit your needs, whether you have injuries, want to deepen your practice, or work on a particular pose or area of the body. We can work on breathing practices, relaxation and meditation as well. Again, it's your practice you are creating, and my job is to help you do that!
Feel free to call me at (310) 559-2570 or email me at: workofheartyoga@gmail.com to set up a private lesson or to ask any other questions you might have!
Thanks and have a beautiful day!
Peace,
