      Rising Up Stronger

      We’ve all been here. We’ve all been face down in the mud. We’ve all hit that place that we never think we will come out of. And then we do. We look back and we realize it’s now less than it was before. It’s a little easier to breathe. A little lighter to carry. And somehow we have come out on the other side. For me, it was letting go of a lifestyle that overshadowed my very essence. When I was face down in the mud I was drowning in anxiety, pain, and fear. The only way I knew how to show up for myself was to get on my mat. I awoke before my children to carve out time for me and my breath. I realized that while I was so emotionally broken I was able to ask my body to step up where my mind couldn’t. Little by little I found the more I did it the stronger my body grew and in turn my mind. At this time my handstand practice started and the parallel I found between finding strength in stability in my inversions was mirrored in my inversion practice. Stay for one more breath. Lift yourself higher. Rise up stronger. There are so many times in our lives where the world comes crashing in. Where anxiety and fear takes over and we can feel paralyzed in our tracks. That feeling can create a stagnation in our lives. I lived in this space for years. I lost my voice and quieted my soul. My yoga practice awoke something in me I didn’t know was there. At least, I didn’t know I needed it. To this day, I still say “I am not naturally strong” and I equate that to mean physically. But here’s that parallel .. I am stronger than I think I am. I am doing hard things. I am enough exactly as I am. That staying for an extra breath was already in me .. I just had to be willing to show up. It’s easier to put our feet back down, to drop to our knees, to give up .. but what if we pushed back, if we said yes when we normally would say no, what if it led to us Rising Up Stronger?

      About your Retreat Leader

      As a mom of three, Chelsea fell in love with the quiet stillness that yoga offers and her practice has moved way beyond the physical asana and has become her favourite outlet. Since discovering yoga and receiving her 200 HR RYT certification,  her passion for sharing the practice as well as her love of travel continues to grow.  Chelsea is the author of Rising Up Stronger, a strength building guide that focuses on drills to increase stability and strength in inversions and arm balances, and she is currently working on Rising Up Stronger 2.0.

      Retreat Location

      In the middle of a natural environment in the Sacred Valley of Peru, surrounded by mountain and ancient culture that today maintain their traditions, grows Samadhi.


      Designed with the sacred geometry, Samadhi will submerge you in the universe of the los Chakras, walking through the Kundalini and wrapping you in its spaces, colors, textures, flavors and art adapted for the energy central, to know and explore your essence.


      Samadhi's facilities are fully-equipped, and centered on the theme of the 7 chakras: areas dedicated to meditation and art, a multifunction room, a yoga deck with a dazzling view of the sacred valley, an organic garden where you can learn about the qualities of plants that are native to the area, and around the Andes Mountains.


      Each of the bungalows have three separate beds with a private bathroom.

      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!
