My 200-hour YTT with Erin in Tamarindo was an incredible experience. Spending two weeks in such a beautiful location created the perfect backdrop for learning, and the smaller group size made the whole journey feel intimate and personal. What really sets Five Parks Yoga apart is the platform they’ve built. It is exceptionally professional, with a logical structure that is very easy to follow. The lessons are broken down clearly, and the platform is packed with high-quality supplementary information and reading references. The in-person training with Erin was truly special—it felt more like building a lifelong community than just attending a course. Erin, Mat, and Tricia took such wonderful care of all of us throughout the entire program. The material itself was thorough and deeply focused on helping us find our own authentic teaching voices and developing the confidence to be true professionals. I left feeling empowered to start my journey as a teacher, and I am so grateful to have been a part of this group. If you are looking for a high-quality, supportive YTT, this is the one.

I absolutely loved my Yoga Teacher Training! It's more than just training; it's a transformation. Erin and her husband Matt are simply exceptional. From day one, you feel like you're part of a family. If you're considering this training, I wholeheartedly recommend it and guarantee you won't be disappointed. Everything is well thought out. We have time to study or enjoy the activities in Tamarindo. Their platform is very well designed. It's very easy to find answers to all our questions and refer back to it later. Thank you!

Dear Erin and Matt, Thank you both for creating such a wonderful and memorable retreat in Costa Rica. Erin - your expert guidance, thoughtful sequencing, and the way you wove yoga, meditation, and journaling together created the perfect space to challenge us and at the same time slow down and deepen our practice. The twice-daily sessions, guided meditations, the beautiful surroundings at Casas Kismet, the warm and attentive staff, delicious meals, daily activities, and the chance to connect with amazing people from many places offered a beautifully balanced way to nurture body and spirit. Matt — your seamless coordination behind the scenes made it all possible. Thank you for your warmth, presence, and for holding an inspiring experience that each of us will cherish forever. I am deeply grateful to you both. With much appreciation, Vilma

Reflecting back on last week at the retreat, I am so grateful to have been able to have this experience with you and with all the other participants. From start to finish, every detail was handled with care and consideration. Although I am not the best at expressing my feelings (especially in front of a group) I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed each and every yoga class, meal and other experiences like the walking meditation and closing ceremony. Casa Kismet was a perfect location for hosting this retreat, from rooms to the yoga space, pool and meal area. It was really special to be able to spend a week focusing on our bodies, our breath, and our mind without all the outside noise. Thank you for putting all the effort into making each class special and for creating an environment where I think we all felt comfortable together and with you. Namaste

Bucket List Wish List Participating in a Yoga Retreat has been on my bucket list for awhile. In April,I received the Newsletter from Five Parks Yoga regarding upcoming retreats in Nosara. What better way to do a Yoga Retreat- one with Erin (my U-tube Guru) and secondly, in Costa Rica! I'm in! I've followed Erin on YouTube since Covid, and practicing with her in person was even more inspiring than i imagined. She brings such warmth, presence, and authenticity to every class. Her smile is like a warm hug. She radiates kindness . You can feel how truly skilled and professional she is in her craft. Erin, offers a vigorous well- rounded Yoga class @7:30 Am + 5PM. with arm balances, tree stands, stars, flows and mediation, etc. Last night Yin- well received. Closing Ceremony was a lovely touch and great way to end the retreat. Introduction Ceremony was also a highlight with our journals and getting to know our fellow participants. Meeting Erin in person was an absolute highlight + dream! i am truly blessed and honoured- thank you for all what you do! I also want to give a huge shout out to Matt her right arm man/husband/Business Partner, who was unbelievably nice, friendly, and accommodating the entire time. He made everyone feel welcome and added such warmth, supportive energy to the retreat. Always available! Always happy to help! Always smiling. Such a nice and genuine person! One of the best parts of the retreat was the people I met-kind, open, like-minded souls who made the week for me even more meaningful. Awesome roommates! Staff were also amazing!! Ramon the Costa Rica Racoon? Adorable. The resort itself was beautiful and relaxing, the perfect place to unwind and reconnect. Massage is a must do! Bring cash! This retreat wasn't just a getaway for me-it was something I dreamed about, and it turned out better than i hoped. I went by myself....so did a lot of others. Do it- Go For It .-Don't be afraid- it will all work out. The instant you meet your fellow Yogi's at the airport- only happiness is present. Namaste
