Meet Jyoti Fontaine,

Founder of RasVida

Hi, I'm Jyoti.  Like many women, I spent years caring for everyone else while putting my own dreams on hold, believing there would be more time "someday." Then a breast cancer diagnosis reminded me that life is precious and that the time to fully live is now.

​

That experience inspired me to create RasVida, a mindful group travel company dedicated to helping people step away from their routines, reconnect with themselves, and experience the world in a deeper, more meaningful way. What began as a passion for leading yoga retreats has evolved into immersive travel experiences that combine culture, adventure, creativity, and genuine human connection.

As a longtime yoga teacher, I believe that travel has the power to broaden our perspectives, foster personal growth, and remind us of what matters most. Every RasVida journey incorporates mindfulness, presence, and opportunities for authentic connection—so you return home with more than wonderful memories. You return home feeling renewed, inspired, and more fully alive.

"A once in a lifetime experience"

Heather Fuller, Colorado

My time at the retreat was exactly what I had hoped for, traveling solo.  Apprehensive and scared to take the plunge, these feelings quickly subsided as I met the entire group on the first night.  I found more of myself than I had ever expected and the time with Jyoti and the group was transformational.”

Kerry Schnackenberg, California

An excellent retreat, not over-coordinated or under-planned.  A perfect rhythm to rest, recharge, have fun, be active, be nourished, cared for and feel love and loss all rolled into one.  Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience.  I’ll forever cherish the time here and am interested in ALL future offerings.  You’re the best!

Jyoti’s retreat to Mexico was exactly what I needed.  The balance of yoga, excellent food, beautiful scenery, and connection with other women brought me back to my center after a long period of feeling isolated and ungrounded.  Jyoti’s instruction, calm leadership and wonderful, positive energy made me feel safe and supported.  I will definitely be booking another retreat!
