This video was filmed in 2024, during a season of deep growth, change, and gratitude

Seeing this feature from SooToday reminds me of how far this journey has come, from Restore Yoga & Wellness to what is now Restore Arts & Adventures

I’m endlessly grateful for every experience, every connection, and every person who has walked alongside this path. Thank you for being part of it 🤍

As we step into the new year together, I’m so excited for what’s ahead. Bookings will be opening soon, and I have a few surprises in store… stay close ✨

For the past three years, Restore Yoga & Wellness has been more than just a business, it’s been a dream come to life. A space for self-expression, connection, and community. A place where outdoor adventure meets holistic wellness and creativity. Soon, this will evolve into Restore Arts & Adventure, reflecting the full heart of what I offer.

When I moved to Sault Ste. Marie four years ago, I didn’t know a single soul. I had no idea what this journey would bring, but the experiences, opportunities, and incredible people I’ve met along the way have been beyond anything I could have imagined. This place has truly become home, and I have loved every single moment of it.

Over the past year, I’ve felt a strong pull to be closer to my family in Southern Ontario. Every year that passes I have family members growing older, and I really want to cherish this time with them while I can. This next step is bittersweet, but it allows me to balance my heart between two places I deeply care about.

This doesn’t mean goodbye. I plan to operate seasonally in both locations for at least the next year or two, sharing offerings in Sault Ste. Marie from July to October, and in Woodstock from November to May. Sault Ste. Marie is truly my home, and I fully see myself returning here long-term.

While I’m not offering online classes just yet, I am exploring ways to bring workshops and experiences to people across Ontario, and maybe even Canada, so distance won’t stop anyone from joining in.

To my incredible community, thank you. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and for being part of something so special. This is not the end. It’s just a new chapter, and I can’t wait to see where Restore Arts & Adventure grows in both Sault Ste. Marie and Woodstock, and beyond.

I still have several exciting offerings in Sault Ste. Marie THIS October, which I’ll be sharing soon, if you’d like to join before next season, now’s the perfect time, so stay tuned!

Much love and light,
Raquel

👻🌊 Haunted Paddle 2025 🌊👻
Saturday, September 13 | 9 AM - 12 PM

Spooky season is creeping in, and what better way to celebrate than with a paddle down the river? 🍂 As the cool September air sets the mood, we’ll head out together for a guided paddle, taking in the crisp autumn colours, eerie calm of the water, and all the magic that fall has to offer. PSA the weather next weekend looks perfect for this event!

When we return to shore, the fun continues with a cozy (and slightly spooky!) gathering:

🎃 Costume Contest - dress to impress! Prizes for the best Halloween looks.

👻 Craft Time - make your own mini plaster ghost painting to take home, a perfect seasonal keepsake.

🍬 Halloween Snacks - sweet and festive treats to enjoy after our paddle.

Whether you come for the costumes, the crafts, or the chance to soak in those fall vibes on the water, Haunted Paddle is always a highlight of the season. Spots are limited, don’t miss your chance to join us for this one-of-a-kind autumn adventure! 🦇✨
