Retreat Testimonials

Ripon, February 2026 — "I’m still thinking about our wonderful weekend in Ripon and already daydreaming about future retreats to come. It was such a special experience — exactly what I didn’t even realize I needed. My first yoga retreat, and I truly can’t say enough about it. I didn’t know what to expect, but everything felt just perfect. Andrea was such a warm and welcoming host, and I thoroughly enjoyed the variety and intention behind each yoga session. The group dynamic was so friendly, with lots of fun and laughter throughout the weekend. The location — just under two hours from Ottawa — was serene and beautiful. From the delicious food and kind, welcoming managers to peaceful snowshoe treks through the winter landscape, it was an experience I’ll always remember. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity to join one of Andrea’s retreats.

Thank you again for such a meaningful weekend.

~Robyn, Ottawa

Presence in Patagonia, November 2025

"I had the absolute pleasure of joining Presence in Patagonia in November 2025. Having been to some weekend retreats, I was looking forward to the week-long international experience! It turned out to be an even more amazing, exciting, soul‑nourishing experience than I could have imagined.

Each day brought a new adventure: hikes that led us through phenomenal landscapes—from the gorges along the Río Azul to glacial lakes surrounded by Patagonian mountains. We plunged into icy waters, practiced yoga outdoors listening to the river, the wind in the trees, and the nearby farm animals, and enjoyed soaking in a fire‑stoked hot tub under the Argentinian sky. Our amazing lodge came with a top‑notch chef with a heart of gold who nourished us in every sense of the word. It was spectacular.

What truly made the retreat special was Andrea. She brings an incredible blend of energy, warmth, and kindness to every detail. She creates space for meaningful connection and reflection in a way that feels effortless and deeply intentional. She attracts phenomenal humans into her community, and meeting and connecting with the group was a gift in itself. Throughout the week, Andrea sought and soaked in feedback, turning wishes into reality as the days unfolded.

A few years ago, at a Bloom weekend retreat, Andrea and I had a chat about how amazing it would be if she would host a retreat in Patagonia—as I had plans to go trekking and traveling there with some wonderful friends, and thought a retreat would be an excellent addition to the trip. I am so grateful she made it happen.

It was absolutely magical. Thank you Andrea. I can't wait for my next chance to join another one!"

~Lynn, Ottawa

Sumer Solstice June Retreat in Ripon 2025

"Andrea is in a league of her own as a Yoga instructor, coach and facilitator of transformational retreats. Having attended several yoga retreats and events over the last twenty years, none come close to the level of quality, attentiveness and warmth that Andrea offers. My two-day Radiance Retreat in Ripon felt more restorative and restful than two weeks of beach vacation. Andrea is masterful in offering a light-touch approach to holding space for fun, wellness, reflection and rejuvenation. The food was incredible, the group was absolutely lovely, and any chance to spend two days in Andrea's radiant presence is a chance not to miss. As a professional facilitator myself, I cannot recommend Andrea's retreats more highly."

~Caroline, Ottawa

Purpose In Panama Retreat Nov 2024

"I had the great pleasure of traveling to Panama in November 2024 to attend Andrea's Purpose in Panama Yoga retreat. This was my first-ever yoga retreat, and in fact, was also the first time I tried Andrea's yoga. Andrea's yoga and retreats had been recommended to me by multiple friends, and I have to say, as high as their praises were, they did not prepare me for how amazing one of Andrea's retreats could be!

Right from the start, you could tell Andrea really cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. Andrea is not only the retreat's yoga teacher but also a coordinator, an organizer, and a facilitator - you can clearly tell she wants everyone to have a wonderful time. Luckily, everyone who attends Andrea's retreats also appears to be amazing human beings. Other retreat attendees were also easygoing, kind souls that were easy to connect with. As an introvert, one of the unexpected benefits of going on this retreat was to get to spend time with other people - it is surprising how quickly you can connect and get to know other people on a retreat such as this one.

The twice-a-day yoga was perfect - every yoga session targeted different parts of your body, and each session was grounded in an intention for the day, making each session truly enjoyable and also unique. The retreat also included other activities that were optional, such as a completely magical waterfall hike in the middle of the jungle, with a meal shared with some locals. The location for the retreat was also exceptionally beautiful, as were the meals. This retreat was a fantastic way to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, reconnect with your Self, and then re-enter the world in a more intentional and mindful way.

Overall, I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. It opened my eyes to a new way of traveling, and to me, this way of traveling blends perfectly the travel and exploration of a new country, the human connection, and the physical and spiritual practice of yoga."
