Your Hosts
Gioconda Parker is a world-renowned yoga instuctor and has been guiding her students in the practice for nearly 20 years. She is a 500ERYT, she has completed her Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology as well as the three year training program in Somatic Experiencing. Gia has traveled the world to study the practice as well as lead other practitioners in international retreats.
Besides yoga, Gia loves movement, travel, hiking and the outdoors. Come join her for another AdZENture…this time in Tenerife!
Sarah Montross is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500, YAECP) and has practiced and studied yoga since 2002. All of my classes are rooted in alignment principles, which means I place a lot of emphasis on where your different body parts go. This isn’t because there is a “right” and “wrong”, but because focusing on these details alows your mind to settle and you to feel grounded. Each practice incorporates yoga philosophy, applying it to life’s daily challenges to leave you invigorated and energized while at the same time feeding your heart and soul.
Common Inquiries
YES! You will be able to earn up to 25 CEUs for attending the offered experiences on this retreat. It’s a great opportunity for instructors to deepen their study or for students to learn a bit more about physical yoga, philosophy and a breadth of other information that will be covered in this week’s Nature & Nurture theme.

Your Yoga Studies Immersion in Slovenia includes all meals, those prepared at our Alpine Ranch as well as meals out. You will be asked to provide any special dietary restrictions before the start of your retreat so we are able to accommodate your requests.
We ARE able to accommodate any dietary restrictions on this AdZENture as long as it’s noted on the Guest Form.
Please note: if you choose to select a specific diet, special meals will be prepared just for you and that is what you will be served. Changes may not be possible on short notice.
Example: “I don’t eat seafood” means that our chef will design a special, non-seafood dish just for you when the rest of the guests will receive a seafood meal. You will not be able to ‘try’ the seafood dish as these meals are made to order specifically for each guest. Thank you for your understanding.

For our Yoga Studies Immersion in Slovenia we do require insurance for all guests. Insurance is required not only in the case of a medical emergency but it’s also a good idea to include travel insurance in the case of emergency or conflicts preventing you from joining our AdZENture after you book.
If guests are unable to join the retreat, travel insurance will often issue a refund when purchased within 7 days of the original purchase. We advise that all guests book travel insurance within a week of submitting your deposit for your AdZENture in order to protect your investment!
Medical coverage is required. Travel insurance is not required, it’s suggested. Travel insurance often includes air transport in the case of an emergency. Please ask us if you have questions about this and your AdZENtures team can give you some suggestions!
