The REBEL Team
April
Owner and Instructor
As the owner of Hippie Yoga and a longtime movement teacher, April has always been passionate about helping people feel good in their bodies. When she stumbled into a reformer Pilates class, it was love at first burn, and she knew she had to bring this powerful practice to her community. That is how REBEL was born. April believes movement should be about longevity, not punishment, and that strong, connected bodies are built by showing up, having fun, and honoring what feels good along the way.
Stephanie
Member Liasson and Instructor
Stephanies initial interest in Pilates was sparked When April stated she was opening a Pilates reformer studio. She knew she was ready to learn something more, and needed a change up to her workout routine. It was not love at first class, but after a few classes she noticed it helped her feel so much stronger and was hooked. It has helped tremendously with reconnecting to her core after a csection. Not to mention no more back pain and has helped her nervous system chill out. Stephanie has been a yoga teacher since 2016, so is not new to teaching movement classes. She is very excited to share this type of movement to help others feel stronger and continue to help others connect with their bodies.
