Fall Equinox Yoga Retreat

BWI (Baltimore Washington International) Marshall Airport located in Maryland. From here it will be about a 2.5 hour ride to the River Mountain retreat center.

• On arrival day, September 20, the shuttle will depart from BWI airport at 2:30pm EST. If you cannot find a flight that arrives in time, we suggest flying in the night before and booking a nearby airport hotel. 
• On departure day, September 25, the shuttle will depart from River Mountain at 9am EST. We suggest booking flights no earlier than XX to ensure ample time for travel, checking in and airport security.

Yes! If you plan to drive, we’ll collect this information via our intake form, and deduct the shuttle cost from your remaining payments. 

Yes, it’s non-refundable and non-transferable to other retreats with one caveat. If the retreat sells out and we’re able to fill your spot, then and only then will we be able to refund your deposit. There is no guarantee this will happen, but we do our best to be as fair as possible.

• If cancellation takes place more than 90 days prior to your departure date, any payments made will be refunded minus your deposit.
• If cancellation takes place 59 days prior to your departure, 50% of the trip price will be refunded, minus your deposit.

• If cancellation takes place less than 30 days prior to your departure date, 100% of the trip price will be forfeited.

Yes! Once your deposit is confirmed, we’ll be in touch with several payment plan options. You can choose to pay in full, or break up the remaining payments into two or three installments.

• Due to the nature of room sharing, practicing yoga together, and eating our meals side-by-side, we’re requiring all retreaters to be fully vaccinated per the most recent CDC guidelines, and to show proof of vaccination upon signing up and/or before attending. If proof is not shown, your deposit & payments will be forfeited based on the above cancellation policy timeline. 
• See River Mountain’s COVID policy here.

We’ll send a “get to know you” form with basic questions to help us organize the roommate matching process. If you have someone specific you want to room with, you’ll let us know via this form too. 

Linens, towels, blankets, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel are provided.

We’ll send a packing guide 60-90 days before the retreat begins, giving you ample time to purchase and gather all the yoga retreat things!

Prior to arrival, all guests will indicate any food allergies and dietary restrictions so the River Mountain kitchen may accommodate all guests.

River Mountain is remote. Cell service is limited at best. Fiber wi-fi is throughout the property and free. Please turn on wi-fi calling prior to arrival in order to make calls using fiber internet during your stay.

Nope! We’re here to meet you where you’re at, all we ask is that you do your best (which may be resting in a child's pose!). Allie will offer several pose variations during classes, props will be available, and additional yoga teachers/team members to support you.

Saying yes to an in-person yoga retreat is like casting a vote for the person you want to be! It’s saying yes to travel, adventure, risk, new friendships, new experiences and holsitic (body, mind, soul) healing. We believe in your fear, and we know that after the opening ceremony and our first shared meal, you’ll settle right in and feel at home!

While the River Mountain team will be caring for us as the date nears and during our time together, we (the AVF team) are your go-to contacts for all things retreat related. Please don’t hesitate to connect, no question is too small to be asked. You can reach us at - hi@allievanfossen.com
