Avril Williams
She/Her | Certified 200 Yoga Instructor | Yin Yoga Certified | Arcana Co-Owner | Social Justice Educator | Avril Williams Handmade
Avril has been called a Jill-of-all-trades as she not only teaches yoga, but is also a studio artist, art educator, philanthropist, entrepreneur, designer, and avid international traveler. In fact it was on her first solo, travel journey abroad that she found yoga, completely changing her life path. Divinely ending up on a small island in Thailand, she fell in love with the practice and its spiritual benefits so much so that she immediately flew to Bali, and eventually Costa Rica, to continue its exploration.Avril later graduated with her 200-hour certification from Island Yoga in Aruba under the mentorship of Rachel Brathen and Lara Heimann. She has since started several businesses, one of which uses her passion for education to share the meditative and holistic benefits of combining art-making, community, travel and yoga. She brings a mindful element of creativity that fills her life work to her classes and incorporates it into the sequencing, music and theme.
Avril also holds a B.A. in Art Education and has completed trainings in teaching mindfulness to children and yoga support for addiction recovery. In her spare time she enjoys making pottery, hiking, going on serendipitous adventures with her partner, writing poetry, expanding her businesses and learning new skills.

Eleven years later, she still is deeply driven by the many aspects of the practice and to embrace the next steps as they come.As a teacher, Kristine loves to share yoga and its teachings to all the other seekers out there. Some of many teachers that influence her are: Jacqui Bonwell, Shiva Rea, Roberto Lim, Heidi MacVane, Danielle Toolan, and Sagel Urlacher.

She has been practicing yoga since she was a teenager attending community classes at the Himalayan Institute in her hometown of Buffalo, NY.

She brings over 15 years of professional experience working in arts and non-profit settings and holds a Master’s in Fine Arts in Fiction. Caitlin loves spending time with her community creating radical, inclusive burlesque shows as the co-founder and host of Port City Peep Show, and recharges by enjoying the beaches and woods of Maine, and hanging with her friends, partner, and full household of 4 rescue animals.
