Payment Details, etc
Some quick details on payments & plans
The Participant’s retainer payment of $2000 serves to reserve the Participant’s space in the Retreat and is thus nonrefundable and not transferable in case of cancellation. The Participant understands that canceling their reservation damages the Retreat Host as the Retreat Host relies on the Participant’s reservation to make other business and scheduling decisions, including booking services from third parties and turning away other potential attendees.
If the Participant notifies the Retreat Host of their intent not to attend the Retreat more than 60 days before the Retreat start date, the Participant agrees to pay the Retreat Host the greater of 50% of the Retreat Price or the $2000 nonrefundable retainer.
If the Participant chooses to leave the Retreat before Services are complete or notifies the Retreat Host of their intent to cancel this Agreement with less than 60 days notice before the Retreat begins, the Participant agrees to pay the Retreat Price in full. Cancellation on short notice makes it unlikely that the Retreat Host will be able to rebook the Participant’s spot on the Retreat and recover expenses already made to Retreat vendors and partners, and as such the Participant’s payments will serve as liquidated damages.
Finally, the Participant understands that the Retreat Host must book a certain number of participants in order to provide Services under this Agreement and that a variety of factors impact the Retreat Host’s ability to implement planned Services. Thus, the Retreat Host is entitled to cancel this Agreement at any time and for any reason. If the Retreat Host chooses to cancel the Retreat under this provision, the Participant will be entitled to a full refund of the Retreat Price, only. The Participant will not be entitled to damages for travel expenses or other costs incurred to attend the Retreat in case of a Retreat Host-initiated cancellation.
If you have additional questions about the retreat payments or anything else, please contact us.

Erin Sampson – Yoga Instructor – E-RYT
Five Parks Yoga Founder
Erin received her 200-hour teaching certification in 2008 in Arvada, Colorado. For the next several years, she taught classes at her neighborhood studio.
In December of 2011, she and her husband moved their family of five to Tamarindo, Costa Rica for six months. They fell in love with Costa Rica and decided to split their time between Colorado and Costa Rica. Upon her first return to Colorado, she opened her own studio, Five Parks Yoga, which allowed her to teach in both Colorado and Costa Rica.
In an effort to bridge the gap between Colorado and Costa Rica, in February of 2015, Erin and her husband Matt started filming her yoga classes and posting them on YouTube, so that her students could practice with her when she wasn’t in town, (either town!). Since that time, she has posted over 300+ classes and now has 235,000 subscribers and students from all over the world. While her original intention was to simply share her classes with her students at her two homes, the unexpected result of her YouTube channel has given her an opportunity to connect with students from all over the world. Visit Erin online at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FiveParksYoga
Erin’s other passion project began in 2013 when she co-founded Warrior Girls Yoga – yoga workshops and camps for middle school and high school-aged girls. ( https://warriorgirlsyoga.com/ )The program has been an amazing part of her passion for sharing yoga in a full-hearted and meaningful way.
Erin strives to share her love for self-discovery through the practices of mindfulness, meditation, and yoga during this retreat.
Erin – E-RYT – Green Mountain School of Yoga, Arvada, CO 2008. Multi-style Yoga Institute, Playa Negra, Costa Rica 2015. Yoga Alliance Member 2008 – present.
Jyoti Fontaine – Yoga Instructor – E-RYT
RasVida Yoga Excursions Founder
Both on and off the mat Jyoti radiates joy and deep inner wisdom. Her adventurous spirit, love for intercultural experiences and a compassionate heart infuse her retreats and impact all who attend.
Born and raised in Colorado, in a yoga ashram, her depth and connection to the sacred yoga traditions of asana, meditation, Ayurveda, and seva (selfless service) are at the core of who she is and how she lives her life. Teaching allows Jyoti to share from her inner depth and continue her lifelong journey dedicated to authentic personal growth. Her biggest reward as a teacher is watching her students cultivate their own inner growth and transformation with yogic practices on and off the mat. It is why she loves what she does!
Jyoti is a certified yoga teacher through the Shambhava School of Yoga and since her certification in 2003 has completed numerous additional trainings through the Shambhava School and Life Power Yoga. Her classes invite a more subtle experience with a conscious focus on strength, healthy alignment, and body mechanics for all practitioners. When not on the mat, Jyoti can be found in her art studio creating beautiful contemporary paintings. As a recent breast cancer survivor, and mother of two rapidly growing children, she has a renewed sense of life, outdoor adventure, and the importance of self-care.
