Reviews

The Peru Adzenture retreat was truly unforgettable. It offered the perfect mix of adventure, excursions, and meaningful yoga workshops, including chakra balancing, inversions, and a beautiful sound bath that stood out as a highlight. Jenny and Emily’s teaching styles complemented each other perfectly, making sure everyone found practices that resonated with them. Tiffany, the organizer, kept us well informed while also allowing for flexibility, so the schedule never felt rushed. The retreat property featured breathtaking views of the Andes, and the staff was very accommodating. Visiting Peru has been on my bucket list for years, and this was the perfect way to experience it. Highly recommend.

The retreat location and local Peruvian culture were both inspiring and beautiful! I really enjoyed the beautiful details of the retreat center, and the amazing meals prepared at Samadhi. The yoga teachers provided awesome workshops and classes. They also facilitated inclusive share circles. Although the retreat was overall an incredible experience, the group dynamic felt off. The retreat leader seemed disconnected and often non approachable. There were times she seemed frustrated when we would ask her our concerns and clarification for details about the trip. The group leader also left before the end of the retreat, so we were left to figure out our check out, navigate language barriers with drivers, and handle our post retreat reservations individually. This also caused us to not be able to tell the other retreat members goodbye at the end of the trip because our buses split up, and dropped off at different locations.

The Samadhi staff was very nice and attentive. Overall the communications concerning itinerary, excursions, weather, and day to day operations of the retreat were extremely lacking. The overall atmosphere of the retreat was not what I was anticipating as a first time Adzenture attendee. The support that I was under the impression would be provided was severally lacking. Based on this experience, I don't immediately have any plans to attend future Adzenture retreats.

My recent yoga retreat to Peru offered some truly memorable moments, particularly the fantastic excursions to Rainbow Mountain and Machu Picchu, which were impeccably organized and a real highlight. The yoga classes and workshops were of high quality. The resort was lovely, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was good, but more variety, such as salads at dinner or a buffet option, would have been appreciated. Net net it was a memorable trip and I'm thankful I had this unforgettable experience.

My husband and I went on Eleonora Zampatti's yoga retreat at Joshua Tree. It was amazing! The people, the hiking, rock climbing, a sweat lodge with a wonderful Native American mediative guide for both the sweat lodge and spirit animal totem, a sound bowl meditation at the integretron, daily yoga outside the beautiful, peaceful, and serene natural desert and mountains. I was energized, faced many fears, learned confidence, and met 17 new friends. We will definitely attend more retreats with Eleanora. She was an amazing guide, with knowledge, and helped build trust knowing I can conquer some very deep seated fears of heights. Thank you! xo
