When life feels complicated, go back to basics, keep it simple.

This has been one of my top body/mind/soul wellness tips!

Good nutrition, hydration, and better sleep hygiene all help “press the reset button“.

Taking a long walk instead of driving to the gym, eating a kale salad instead of something more costly or harder to prepare, or even just sitting quietly for 5 minutes noticing your breath, are all small ways you can simplify what you’re doing.

Keeping it simple is one of the best ways we can reduce feelings of overwhelm or create space to deal with tough emotions such as grief, sadness, disappointment or whatever else is in your emotional landscape.

Some people call it a “detox“. I call it common sense.

Keeping worrisome news out of your feed, and choosing not to spend time with negative people (at least for a time), helps us to focus on things we can control rather than things we cannot.

Does this work for you? How do you “press the reset button “? I’d love to know your tried and tested tips! ⬇️

There’s some new local artwork at Sugar Ridge Retreat Centre! 👼.

Check out these beautiful angel wings made of driftwood from Lake Simcoe. They hanging in the new Forest Studio and you can take a cute picture here.

If you’re interested in coming, I have retreats on the following dates:

April 17-19 Yoga and Deep Healing Retreat.

May 29-31 Pilates, Yoga + Nature Retreat (more of this program is outdoors and some light hiking).

August 21-23 Yoga on a surfboard retreat. 🏄‍♀️You need to be comfortable swimming and being in a lake.

I’m also teaching one day retreats introducing people to Ayurveda on Thursdays May 28 and August 20.

Registration for those is directly on the website. It’s about $600 for the weekend or $200 for the day, includeing your accommodation, food which is absolutely delicious, and the entire program. There are no extra costs at all.

I am always happy to answer questions. Always happy to have you jump in my car if you can’t drive or prefer the company. Always happy to help you get organized to come. Send me a message and let’s get you set up for something truly magical and transformative in your healing journey, something just for you, some thing to help you reset or something new and for a little fun!

Blue zone state of mind 🌿✨

Waking to the sounds of monkeys and macaws, up with the sun, and moving our bodies with intention was pure delight. We are offering it again May 20-27! Small group, inexpensive flights, includes meals.

Come be nourished with fresh, vibrant foods, and slow down enough to actually feel life… this is what living well looks like.

In these blue zone rhythms, longevity isn’t just about years in your life—it’s about life in your years 💚

On this retreat, you will learn life skills such as the Mediterranean diet, anti-inflammation protocols, book ending your day with movement and enjoying all that Costa Rica has to offer.

Breath by breath. Stretch by stretch. Moment by moment.
Who’s ready to flow where the jungle meets the ocean? 🌊🧘‍♀️

🌱Spring Retreats 🌱

A retreat is meant to be an intentional way of stepping back from routine, taking a breather, and taking stock of life.

Return home with fresh eyes, feeling nourished, and with clear intentions to do whatever matters to you, even in the subtlest of ways.

Whether your next retreat is a bubble bath at home or a longer getaway, we wish you the full benefits of time for yourself...less stress, contentment in life.

Here’s a thought by Rilke, inviting you to ponder the little things in life:

“Most people do not know at all how beautiful the world is
and how much magnificence is revealed in the tiniest things,
in some flower,
in a stone,
in tree bark,
or in a birch leaf.”

Wishing you peace and love,
Liz and the Sugar Ridge Team

🕊In Peace + Solidarity, will you join us in meditation and prayer this week, for all suffering nations and all suffering peoples.

I don’t post politically; I’m not tone deaf either.

Our common denominator is our humanity.

Let us pray and meditate in unity for the freedoms and well-being of all people.

To all those affected, by current and past atrocities, in and outside of home nations, affecting you, your families and your friends, let us pray and meditate on your collective healing and well-being.

Peace, peace, peace.
OM Shanti OM

🛌Bedtime yoga! Join me Mondays at 7:30 PM EST on zoom to kickstart a better bedtime routine.🥱

This 6-week session is $90 and you’ll be provided with tips, teaching and a recording of each class so you can repeat the practice at home.

We use minimal props, unlike a studio class.

It’s the perfect home practice.

It’s the perfect foundation of a better bedtime routine.

You’ll notice that you fall asleep easier, stay asleep for longer, and start to reset poor sleeping patterns.

Sleep is the most important thing for healing.

Sleep is the most important thing for a better mood and to help with depression.

Sleep is the thing that keeps our mind clear and capable all day long.

DM me for the link and I’ll send it to your email

Love and light,
Andrea Blossom Yoga 🌺

Can’t wait to see you this evening! .sordet and Paula 💕

🧘‍♂️💛🧘🏽‍♂️Welcoming NEW STUDENTS!🧘🏿‍♂️💛🧘🏼‍♂️

I don’t usually have space in my classes, nor offer zoom, but both opportunities are now available!

So… it’s time to seize an opportunity if you’ve been thinking about taking yoga classes.

Here are my OFFERINGS, starting Monday. 🎉🎉🎉

You can join on a drop-in basis or receive a discount for joining for the session.

When you join a zoom class, you also get the class recordings to keep so you can practice at home.

My private 🌸Blossom Studio 🌸 is near 401/404 in The GTA.

More about me as a Yoga Teacher:

I’ve been teaching yoga since 2001 and practicing daily for 30 years. I’d love to share my love for the practice with you.

Not only will you become more flexible, but you’ll enjoy greater mental clarity and a better nights sleep!

Try something that fosters discipline, growth and self-discovery.

You’d be surprised at who comes to yoga. It’s not the flexible and the athletic. It’s people wanting to improve back health, joint issues, and mental well-being. I’m here for you whenever you’re ready!

and if you can’t make the times because you’re in the UK, or because the times don’t work for your schedule, you can purchase just the class recordings, and I’ll still keep you accountable, and track your progress.

Love, Andrea Blossom 🙏🏼

Interested? Get in touch with me or please send to somebody who might benefit. Thank you 🙏🏼💛🌼

Sliding into the last week of 2025, it’s time to pause, reflect, and identify…

⏸ Pause - Breathe, get quiet, meditate, pray, and listen to the inner workings of your heart. Ground yourself. Be still for a hot minute.

🤔 Reflect- what gifts have you received this year? How have you been shaped by insights from challenges, and wisdom from experiences? What blessings do you have to count?

💡 Identify - Are there areas of your life that need attention: spiritually, emotionally, physically, nutritionally, etc? Who can best help you move forward in this path? Identify the area, the resource and the coach. That’s all. Setting a foot on a path is more important than setting at “goal“.

May your 2026 begin with groundedness, gratefulness and a perfect path for your way forward.

Yoga and Pilates classes are available in the new year. Some of my international clients have asked for zoom classes so you can join in from the UK, USA and across Canada.

Now is the time to get registered. Here’s what’s on offer (all times are in EST and all funds are in Canadian $):

2026 Jan/Feb 6-week Session:

Mondays - 9:30 am Oriole CC Yoga FREE

Mondays - 1 pm Pilates on Zoom $90

Mondays - 7:30 pm Restorative (bedtime) Yoga on Zoom $90

Tuesday - 10:30 am Osteoarthritis Fitness on Zoom $84

Wednesday - 7 pm Blossom Yoga in Studio $135

Thursday - 12 noon Blossom Yoga in Studio $135

wishing you a happy new year filled with light, love and personal expansion.

☕️Healthy and cozy!☕️

Try my perfect mid-afternoon drink with friends, or as a cosy pick me up all by yourself. I like to add cosy socks and a snuggle with my dog.

Andrea‘s Gingerbread Cocoa Latte Recipe (many health benefits!)

INGREDIENTS
1 cup almond milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons cacao powder (I like the organic, Fairtrade one)
1/2 teaspoon mushroom powder (optional, but it’s great for gut health specifically. Try turkey tail mushroom powder.)
1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses (I like the organic kind from www.mamaearth.com - I can get you a discount if you ask me)
1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger powder
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
maple syrup to taste (I get mine from www.sugarridge.ca)

Instructions: Heat almond milk in sauce pan stirring continuously. Once warmed, add the other ingredients and continue to stir. Do not boil or overheat. Pour into your favourite mug and top with a small sprinkle of cocoa and/or/cinnamon. Sometimes I add a bit of additional warmed almond milk frothed on top first.

This drink has many health benefits including anti-inflammation, antioxidants, heart health, iron and minerals. Enjoy!

Many thanks and .corrado for being my first tester!

The solstice reminds us: rest is powerful.

Today’s practice is about letting go of what no longer serves and setting quiet intentions for what’s to come. 🌿🧘‍♀️

I am nearly finished my 7-day water fast. I have let go of so much. I feel great and ready to teach.

See you on the mat Monday Dec 22, 6:30 PM, our last practice of the season. Let’s enjoy restorative yoga together.

There is still space in our vision board creation class on Tuesday, December 30, 2 PM to 4 PM. Please reach out if interested in joining.
