| @restorewithraquel | Summer is here. Get out and get moving! Needing some inspiration to make that happen? Perfect! Meet Restore Yoga & Wellness and it’s founder Raquel, from Sault Ste. Marie, ON. Raquel is going share more about her small business below! Finding Peace on a Paddleboard: The Birth of Restore Yoga & Wellness. Nature has always been my happy place. One day, while attempting a headstand on a paddleboard, I discovered an unexpected kind of #peace – the intense focus required brought a #calmness I craved. That feeling was the spark that ignited Restore Yoga & Wellness. I wanted to share that peace, to create a space where everyone, regardless of background or identity, could feel safe, have fun, and experience the #healingpower of the #outdoors . It wasn’t just about #standuppaddleboard & #yoga (though that’s definitely on the menu!). I envisioned guided #adventures , #canoetrips , #wellnessretreats , and a welcoming environment for all. My own struggles with mental health fueled this passion. Nature was my refuge, and I wanted to offer that same solace to others, especially those who might benefit most – at-risk groups and anyone feeling lost. Restore Yoga & Wellness was born from that desire to #connectpeople with #nature and with themselves. It’s a journey that started with a headstand and a whole lot of peace.  If you are around Sault Ste. Marie, ON or planning on visiting, consider taking a class or an adventure with Raquel. We know she would love it. Also, connect with her YouTube channel for a virtual experience.
