Part of the year, April can be found in her home along the Camino Del Norte in Asturias, Spain, roaming the foothills of Valle Oscuru and beaches of Costa Verde. April's art, sculptures, and paintings have shown in juried exhibitions and received numerous awards in pleine air competitions. Her art has shown in galleries from Pennsylvania, USA to London, England and hangs in private collections, in various parts of the world.

She's always had a wanderlust both in the physical world and for knowledge. As a child and throughout her young adult life there was an itch to travel and visually experience this earth. In her thirties, encouraged by a life change, she explored different parts of the world, spending a good amount of time in Northern Spain, the Netherlands, and traveled extensively throughout USA, much of Europe, some of Asia, as well as Morocco, Cuba, Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

April has practiced many styles of yoga for over 30 years. Her go to was always Hatha; embracing the traditional approach with the physical and mental strengths it brings when regularly practiced. In 2020, with limitation due to a severe fall and COVID travel limits she began studying with Life Force Academy (LFA) Guru Jai Dev Singh, Nevada City, California. This journey of the spirit, sound, mind and body, with Yogi Jai Dev taught her the intricate advanced techniques of Kundalini Yoga, a Royal Yoga from the Sikh Traditions of India. Practicing with Jai Dev at MENLA Retreat (the Dai Lama's outreach in the USA) for numerous immersions was expansive. April sought answers to why this Royal Yoga had such remarkable, practical and powerful transformative energy. She embarked on a journey to become a Kundalini Yoga instructor. She was honored and humbled to be able to study with two internationally renowned Guru's, Yogis Jai Dev Singh and Krishna Kaur. This was both a life challenge and an enormous gift from the universe. The transformational journey has expanded her intuition, spiritual strength and artistic presence. It raised the creative energy, sometimes referred to as Kundalini and fuels her purpose in life. April, also known as Taj LivDeep Kaur, to her spiritual and yogi friends, teaches Kundalini Yoga in her studio.
