Retreat Overview

This retreat is thoughtfully designed to harmonise vitality with rest, offering nourishing food, guided practices, and the freedom to roam and reconnect with nature. 

Lila combines yogic wisdom, dynamic sequencing, and practical philosophy to guide you toward lasting ease, purpose, and well-being. Throughout the week, we’ll focus on strengthening the body, calming the mind, and enjoying deep relaxation after each empowering practice.
