What is an AdZENturer?
An AdZENturer is someone who loves and values experiences. One who lives life with passion and curiosity and a need for exploration, adventure and learning. One who goes through life utilizing the senses that we, as humans, are given.
Experiences are our keepsakes…the sights, smells, sounds, flavors, and feels that define a moment or a place. We value these things more than simply checking a box on a ‘to-do’ or ‘must-see’ list. We aim for authentic experiences with genuine humans and those are the moments that define our world and who we are!
We live to explore the world around us and find intrigue in what is different, unknown, and even scary…because we know that we are on a journey to observe, to learn, and to interpret, in order to become more educated, more understanding and more appreciative of this wonderful world and the humans and creatures that cross our paths and fill our lives.
An AdZENturer cannot be defined because they are one of a kind…but some characteristics you could use to describe this tribe are: traveler, explorer, lover of life, lover, friend, enthusiast (of any kind), story teller, genuine soul, yogi, foodie, good listener, loyalist, adventurist, creator, supporter, encourager…the list goes on and on…
Lead AdZENturers
Lindsey C.
Our Founder and Lead AdZENturer, Lindsey Conroy, has a deep passion for yoga, adventure, travel and the outdoors. She has been teaching yoga for the past 7 years and loves teaching students of all levels while continuing to learn about her own practice through study and teaching others. She’s an avid traveler and has been addicted ever since her first international trip to Spain during her studies at a liberal arts college in the Midwest. After 6 years in the corporate world, gaining experience in Marketing and Business Management, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and pursuing her passions.
In 2014 she left the corporate world to focus on yoga full-time. In deciding to do so, she spent the next 11 months traveling around the world to teach and study yoga. She was fortunate enough to be exposed to many different styles and techniques of yoga through various cultures, studios and teachers. During this time she discovered her passion for outdoor yoga as well as the location for the AdZENture Retreats in a small village, nestled in the Alps where she now calls home. Lindsey spends part of the year in Slovenia building the yoga community and bringing travelers to this magical place to experience the exquisite nature and unique lifestyle. She is very passionate about travel, adventure, nature and yoga; by leading these AdZENtures she is truly living her passion.
Raised in Southeast Asia, yoga and Ayurveda has always been apart of Carrigan’s life, yet it was wasn’t until her college years that she truly dedicated herself to the practice. Carrigan believes that yoga has something for everyone, and by stepping on the mat we open ourselves up to mental, physical, and spiritual transformation. She hopes her classes are playful, empowering, and ultimately encourage others to reconnect with their authentic self.
Carrigan completed her 200 hr YRT at Om Grown Yoga under Lexi Alexander, and is currently working on her 500 YRT at Wanderlust Yoga under Leah Cullis and Kate Waitzkin. She is also pursuing a Masters Degree in Integrative Nutrition and Holistic Medicine. When not practicing, you can find her in the sunshine— hiking, rock climbing, and exploring. She seeks to create a life full of experiences and discoveries, taking any one and everyone along for the ride.

Like many yogis, yoga found Ashley at a time when she needed it most. While teaching pre-K in Oklahoma almost ten years ago, Ashley needed a way to find her identity outside the classroom, in a healthy and mindful way. A fellow teacher led her to her mat for the first time, and she knew she had found something that most people search for their whole lives; the permission to constantly change, grow, learn and fail without judgement. A life-long learner, she craved more from her yoga practice and completed Wanderlust Austin’s 200-hour teacher training. Additionally, she completed her Yin Yoga Teacher certification from Gioconda Parker, giving her the tools to help adults and children manage anxiety, stress and the energetic meridians that guide us. Ashley has been teaching children, pre-teen and adult yoga and meditation ever since. Her expertise on the importance of mindfulness, health and emotional intelligence has made her classes engaging and fun for all ages! Expect a soulful, nourishing class you’ll crave every week.

Maddi S.
Maddi Sharkey has been teaching yoga since 2014 and practicing since her teenage years. If she is not instructing, she can usually be found wandering the trails in Austin with her daughter Willow and her dog Gus, sheltered up behind a book, making nostalgic playlists for her classes, or planning her next trip! Her yoga journey has brought her to a better understanding of the dual nature of herself and everything around us. The playfulness and discipline of self discovery and the yoga practice, she says, brings us closer to understanding ourselves and the world around us. She often tries to bring that into her teaching and keeps it in mind while traveling.

With a decade of dance as her background, Lisa was drawn to yoga for the physical benefits. It wasn’t until 2014 that she decided to deepen her practice and was certified in Hatha Yoga at SWIHA in Phoenix, AZ. Her teaching style is fun, alignment/strength based with a focus on the connection between mind and body through pranayama.
