April Podhradsky
Certified Pilates Teacher
April Podhradsky is a certified Massage Therapist as well as a Pilates Instructor. April enrolled in the Align Pilates Teacher Training Program in June 2008 and graduated with a 650 hour certification in 2009. She has been involved in fitness instruction in one form or another for fifteen years. She is a Veteran of the Iraq War, where she not only led Physical Training as a sergeant in the Army National Guard, but also helped morale by offering her natural gift of massage to fellow troops.
She came to Align after a debilitating condition diverted her from a promising corporate career, and invested herself completely in an 800 hour Massage Therapy program at Sister Rosalind’s Schools and Clinics of Massage while simultaneously enrolled in Align Pilates instructor curriculum.
April approaches health and wellness with a passion born of her own life altering experience. Her illness demanded she return her attention to body, mind and soul. Through dedication and persistence she is now able to bring her kind spirit, fun-loving approach, and tireless optimism to the clients she serves.
“Fitness and massage don’t have to hurt to be effective,” April says. “It should be fun, something you look forward to. If it isn’t something that you enjoy you won’t do it. The key to success is finding the exercises you love and incorporating them into your life so they become as essential to you as brushing your teeth.”
