April Bartlett invites you into a world where personal healing and planetary restoration go hand in hand. Rooted in a lifetime of resilience, service, and deep listening, 4Life Astro Yoga is a living portal for April’s integrative work: trauma-informed yoga, holistic health, bioregional organizing, and community regeneration.

Journey of Resilience and Transformation

April’s path began as a child foraging with her parents and grandparents—learning that the Earth gives us all we need to thrive. By 17, she was already traveling across the U.S. to be trained in herbal nutrition. But it was the birth of her third child, who faced life-threatening food and chemical sensitivities, that deepened her calling.

Faced with a choice between isolation or empowerment, April sought out natural healing alternatives, eventually learning from two Hopi Medicine Women. This opened her eyes to how sensitive systems are often excluded from social life—and inspired her to create Community 4Life Hub, a space for connection, healing, and low-histamine nourishment. The Community is still connected— unfortunately the physical location has since closed.

Trauma-Informed Yoga & Movement

Certified in trauma-informed yoga, April creates safe, somatic spaces for healing and reconnection. Her offerings are rooted in personal experience, ongoing study, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.

After years of chronic back pain from injury, a powerful voice whispered: “You are going to heal yourself.” That message guided her toward yoga, Quantum Healing, cranial-sacral therapy, breath-work, and more. Since 2009, she’s studied modalities including Hatha, Pranayama, Yin, Vinyasa, Bikram, Iyengar, Tai Chi, and Pilates. Her teachings are gentle, adaptive, and infused with lived wisdom.

Bioregional Nomad Services: Regeneration in Action

April offers Bioregional Nomad 4Life Services, organizing tools for regenerative movements—supporting communities in creating ecological and cultural resilience. I’m testing the model now to create open-source services that include:

• Grant writing & storytelling workshop and for regenerative projects

• Workshop design & facilitation

• Circular economy strategies through education & culture

• Youth mentorship and movement-building

• Ecological mapping and place-based planning

These services are currently rooted in Mogotes, Colombia, where April and her local collaborator Ricardo Palomino co-lead Susurros del Agua.

Susurros del Agua: A Living Watershed Project

Susurros del Agua is a bioregional movement that blends ancestral wisdom, hydrological restoration, community celebration, and education. The project uplifts local voices, supports eco-cultural tourism, and connects youth with regeneration through arts, games, markets, panels, and storytelling.

Born from a deep need to heal land and community, Susurros is supported by April’s own savings—but with external support, it will grow into a continental and global example of what’s possible when local people lead.

Healing the Inner & Outer Landscape

Whether through a yoga session, a storytelling workshop, a bioregional strategy, or a shared cup of tea—April’s work carries the same message:

Healing is not separate from regeneration. What we repair within ourselves, we reflect into the world.
