Testimonials:

“Just wanted to say thank you very much for what was a wonderful first yoga retreat for me. Everything was just perfect, I feel grounded and rejuvenated and I have been inspired to practice yoga and meditation more regularly back in Ottawa (with Andrea online) . I hope to attend another retreat next year! ”

— Jennifer, Ottawa

“I loved the holistic approach to this retreat, it was definitely not just yoga. The workshops and the food were really outstanding! I feel super calm and energised after this retreat. One of my favourite moments was one of the meditations that we had, I felt so connected with myself and so good..I hope I can take this experience with me and integrate it into my life!”

– Amanda, Toronto

“I registered for Andrea’s yoga retreat not really knowing what I was getting into, but hoping for the best with relatively high expectations (her retreats and classes came highly recommended by my long time neighbour) Not only did she meet these expectations, but she FAR exceeded them, fulfilling areas of my life that I didn’t even know needed fulfilled. The venue, the food, the people and beyond were incredible. I am already plotting when and here I can follow Andrea again.”

-Caroline, Ottawa
