Restore Arts and Adventures

Holy moly… was it ever a BUSY summer! 🥹💛

I held my last class last weekend, and I’m feeling all sorts of emotions wrapping up another season of Restore. I’m beyond grateful for this year and for everyone who made it so special.

This was our 4th summer of SUP Yoga, and it’s wild to think about how much has grown since I started this business. This summer has of course brought SUP Yoga, but also paint nights, corporate events, community programming, new partnerships, and my first Youth SUP Certification Courses, something I’ve wanted to offer for years🏄‍♀️🎨

And this doesn’t even scratch the surface. There’s no way I could fit every highlight into one post!

I’m already dreaming about next summer, but before then, I’ll be heading down to Southern Ontario for the winter to spend some much-needed time with family❤️ The long-term plan is still to eventually return and offer year-round programming, BUT I’ll be back in October for the month with some exciting programming planned, paint nights, youth & kids workshops, and hopefully some outdoor adventures too!

So keep your eyes peeled 👀🍂

And to everyone who joined me on a board, on land, or on a mat this summer, thank you. Truly. Your support means the world to me.

What a summer. Thank you for making it the best one yet! 🌊✨

✨ FLOW & FLOAT RETREAT ✨

What a weekend 🤍

Our very first Flow & Float Retreat was such a beautiful combination of adventure, learning, movement, connection and a whole lot of time on the water.

Over the weekend, we worked through levels 1 & 2 Paddle Canada SUP certifications, built confidence and skills on the board, flowed through yoga, slowed down with restorative practices, shared meals, reflected, laughed, connected and made memories in such a special place.

There’s something really magical about bringing people together in nature and creating space to learn something new while also slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.

A huge thank you to those who trusted me with their weekend and showed up with such open hearts. I’m so grateful for each of you and honestly can’t wait to see where this goes in the future. This feels like just the beginning 🌊✨

And a very special thank you to the team at Sunnd Nordic Eco Resort Sunnd Eco Resort for giving us such a beautiful home for the weekend. The domes are truly something special, surrounded by nature, peaceful, cozy and the perfect setting for a weekend like this 🤍

Feeling incredibly grateful, inspired and excited for what’s next.

Until the next Flow & Float… 🌊🧘‍♀️✨

People often ask me how I started this business, and honestly, it was a little bit accidental… but also very intentional.

This first photo was taken just a few days ago, and it takes me right back to where it all started, on a paddleboard, just out front of the Waterfront Adventure Centre.

A few years after trying paddleboarding for the first time, I was taking a paddleboarding course through the Adventure Recreation program at Sault College. A classmate who knew I practiced yoga dared me to try a headstand on my board…

Something about combining yoga, balance and the water just clicked.

Of course, I went home and immediately searched YouTube for headstands on a paddleboard so I could get better 😂 And that’s when I discovered this whole world of SUP yoga and combining yoga with water.

Soon after, I completed my yoga teacher training, my Paddle Canada SUP Instructor certification, Wilderness Advanced First Aid, and just kept learning and growing from there.

I always knew I wanted to run my own business, but I never planned for it to happen while I was in school and working other jobs. One thing led to another, I saw a gap in the community, and I decided to take a chance.

And now we’re about to wrap up our fourth season🥹

The second photo is a little collage of headstands from that very first one up until this year. What’s extra cool is that I’ve gotten to do them all over the world, including the last photo, taken in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🌎

It’s pretty surreal to look back and realize how far one little headstand led me.

I’m so grateful for everyone who has supported this journey. 💛

I’ll be spending this winter in Southern Ontario to be closer to family, but I’ll be back next spring for Season 5! 🌊

If there’s something you’ve been dreaming about doing, take the chance. You never know where one little moment might lead.
