10-Day Yoga Immersion | Monestevole, Umbria, Italy | August 2019Before Wild Rice, there was Italy. In August 2019, Adrienne led a 10-day yoga retreat at Tribewanted Monestevole, a 15th-century hamlet set on over forty-five hectares of Umbrian countryside, lovingly restored into a sustainable eco-community after years of abandonment.
Retreat-ers immersed themselves in daily yoga practice, Italian landscape and culture, and homemade meals from a local chef — fresh juices and fruits, homemade breads, and local eggs for breakfast, with Umbrian-style organic lunches and dinners featuring local vegetables, meats, and handmade pastas, gnocchi, and risotto.
Drawing on decades of study — 30 years of practice and over 1,000 hours of training, including Tantric Hatha, Vinyasa, Pranayama, Meditation, Chakra Study, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Aerial Yoga, SUP+Yoga, Kundalini, and Yin Yoga — Adrienne guided participants through a deep, immersive exploration of the yogic lifestyle, far from the pace of daily life.
