      About this trip

      Join Tonya on an experience of a lifetime in Bali for this 6 night, 7 day yoga retreat and watch your heart soar! Yoga is a true healing balm, but so is travel; moving around in a space unfamiliar to you, immersing yourself in the culture of others, is also healing. It’s eye opening and fills you with gratitude and a sense of wonder. 


      Tonya will guide you to observe the calming effect a consistent yoga practice can have on your mind and spirit and how it gradually changes your outlook off the mat. You will be more patient with others, and more importantly, with yourself. 


      In addition, you will walk away with the skills and confidence needed to take a yoga class anywhere. We will learn the fundamentals of a strong practice, and also discuss the little things you need to do to ensure you make time for yourself and your practice each week or each day, if you choose. We will explore the root techniques that form a strong practice by studying the postures of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations). An understanding and mastery of these asanas (postures) is key to building the requisite strength, stamina, mobility and flexibility needed for a strong personal yoga practice. Each participant will start where they are and receive individual attention until they are satisfied and ready to go to the next step.


      But be sure, the retreat schedule leaves plenty of time for you to enjoy the island, the shopping, the temples, the food, the waterfalls, and the amazing spas, all with a group of people seeking to experience the same light and peace in their hearts as you are.


      Please see "What's Included" for list of inclusions.

      • Hike Mt. Batur
      • Visit to Ubud Monkey Forest
      • Shopping the Ubud Market

      Meet your Teacher

      Tonya Johnson believes EVERY body can benefit from yoga. Aside from the proven physical benefits; yoga heals the mind and the spirit.


      Tonya is a Georgia based yoga instructor that offers a variety of local group classes, small group sessions and one on one yoga training. She is a registered and certified yoga instructor (200 hour) and has enjoyed a personal yoga practice for over 25 years. She was previously certified as Yogafit instructor and was an ACE certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor with her own business in New York. After experiencing the tremendous life changing benefits of yoga, both on and off the mat, she decided to advance her training in order to share this great practice.


      Tonya’s classes encourage moving with strength and power while listening to the body and gently exploring its “edges.” She particularly enjoys teaching the fundamental principles that comprise this sacred practice to those that previously felt yoga was not for them.

      2. I've never travelled before and I don't have anyone to go with. Can I come alone?

      Yes!! Before you go, we are here to guide you and get you prepared as much as possible for this retreat and travel experience. With us, you're never alone! We set up a group chat to communicate with one week prior to the retreat to check in and update each other as you start your travel from where ever you may be. We'll pair you up with a roommate, who will most likely end up being a lifelong friend.  You may come alone, but you'll end up leaving with a community of like minded people who will forever be connected through this experience.

      Your insurance will need to cover emergency medical and trip cancellation/interruption. This is to protect you in case of any unforeseen circumstances either before or on your retreat. 


      5. Do you offer monthly payment plans?

      Yes! Once you've paid the deposit amount, the remainder of your balance can be split and paid by the remaining months left until the full balance is due.  For example, if the total retreat is $1,800 USD and you pay your $500 deposit in November - starting from December to June (7 months) you will pay a monthly fee of $186 USD.

      We had wonderful daily group excursions around Iceland in a private coach. Breathtaking views of the landscape, visits to local farms and Thermal baths/spas. I loved the Guesthouse accommodations and the wonderful Yoga practices that started our days and closed out the evenings. Kayla and Jenny were fantastic hosts and guides. I would have to say the best part of the trip though was the amazing connections I made with the other participants. I definitely made friends for life…ones that I will hopefully travel with again on another Adzentures tour.

      Had the most wonderful time! Eleonora is an amazing yoga teacher and host. In addition to yoga, we explored the island from the ocean seeing turtles and whales to the summit of Haleakala for a spectacular sunrise. Can't wait for the next yoga retreat with Eleonora and Adzenture.

      Every year I look forward to adzenture retreats as a chance to explore new parts of the world, reset/relax, learn new skills, and connect with a community of supportive and positive new friends. Daniella and Eleanora thoughtfully curate really fun, active experiences that bring people together. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to practice yoga in beautiful settings and can’t wait for many more trips to come!
