It is YOMEI’s mission to change the lives of each participant through the implementation of yoga for mindful movement, and practical mindfulness practices to strengthen participants' emotional intelligence awareness and skills for enhanced productivity and strengthening personal and professional relationships.



Hi, I’m Dr. Aprile Atwater


I took my passion for yoga and whole body wellness and multiple levels of education to create YOMEI. Because of my love for whole-body wellness, I found a way to incorporate my expertise on emotional intelligence (EI) with my passion for yoga and mindfulness.

It is my goal to change the lives of each participant in my research-derived workshops through the implementation of Yoga (movement for wellness), Mindfulness (being present in the moment), and Emotional Intelligence awareness (the ability to think constructively and act wisely).

My credentials include:

Ed.D. dissertation constructed on the theory of Transformative Emotional Intelligence.

Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach through the Emotional Intelligence and Research Institute (EITRI) 

200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with Yoga Goddess Academy

Mindfulness Certification accredited by Allegra Learning Solutions, LLC

Sound Healing Certification

Over 8,000 hours of Yoga Instruction

I believe in lifelong learning and will continue to grow in my practice to share and create for you.
