This is the 7th year that I have gifted myself with the much needed experience of renewal that I have only found at Lila Heller's Journey to the Heart retreats. Lila expertly weaves together yoga, pilates, Applied Neurology, and breath work to create a truly transformative week of movement. Lila and her guest teacher, Katie Ybarra, share a contagious synergy that quickly put us all at ease and filled our classes with laughter, strength building, and connection with each other. The location is a spot of tranquility on the Pacific Ocean, the food is delicious and nurturing, and everyone left longing for the next time. Nerissa H

Lila is a gifted teacher and retreat facilitator. This is my second retreat with Lila, and I always return home feeling so rejuvenated. From the beautiful location, the nourishing food, the mindful movement, and thoughtful agenda. I always find plenty of time for rest, exploration, and play. I also always enjoy the people that Lila attracts, such a beautiful array of people from all walks of life. Always kind, friendly, and interesting! I will absolutely be attending the next one.

Thank you Lila for creating another amazing retreat experience! Descriptive words are: connection, inspiration and nourishment. Lila's infectious and generous warmth and her skill for blending modalities offer an opportunity to be more present and aware in my body. I am encouraged to continue to move and feel better. The natural setting at Whispertree was a perfect place to renew my spirit. I left walking taller and my heart filled with gratitude. It was a gift to share this time with so many other wonderful humans.

Perfect in every way -- great teachers, gorgeous setting, charming tent and bath house, wonderful people. Thank you Lila! Bath house could have been closer to the lower tents! But it was good movement walking up and down.

Lila is a wonderful teacher, and her calm and grounded presence created a beautiful sense of community. The food was delicious and the accommodations lovely, and clean. There was a perfect balance of classes, relaxation, and socializing. I recommend to anyone who wants to take a break from busyness to rejuvenate, move, and nurture themselves. You will leave feeling refreshed and changed!
