Location

The retreat is  located on a habitat preserve; adjacent to 650 acres of state parkland, along the beloved Yuba River. Just over 2 hours from The Bay Area.   Explore creek waterfalls and private trails along the Yuba River. 


With the backdrop of nature’s sounds, the aromas of old pine and oak trees, the medicinal plants that live in the winding trails, our getaway is the ideal place for rejuvenation, rest, and reconnection. 


Intentional in design, the home itself holds an artistic aesthetic. With a big, sunny deck overlooking the forest, it’s easy to bathe in the simple luxury of feeling the warmth on your skin and attuning to the subtle rhythms of nature around. Every bedroom is made up with organic linens. Each bathroom features organic towels with natural products. 


You may book a private king bedroom with your own bathroom, a private queen bedroom with shared bathrooms, a shared queen bedroom {shared households only—please message us to arrange}, a private cabin near the river, or pitch a tent in one of our campsites. WiFi is available at the main retreat house but is very limited in the surrounding area.


If you have any questions about the accommodation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

What a wonderful trip!!! I have travelled with Lila Heller before and knew to expect the best, but this retreat surpassed all of my expectations. Not only is Lila is the most skilled pilates/movement instructor I have ever worked with, but her ability to hold space, create comfort and generate laughter is truly exceptional. I am so grateful for the time we had together in Mexico, and for all of the women who joined the retreat. I cannot wait to travel with her again!

Once again, Lila’s retreat at Bell Valley exceeded expectations, which were already high from previous retreats! It was an incredible weekend of community, movement, and insight. Thank you to Lila for bringing us together!

Incredible. I leave feeling 2 inches taller and with a much stronger core - and greater awareness of my body and breath!! Highly recommend a retreat with Lila. And, Mar de Jade is such a special place. Founded by a US-trained Mexican-american medical doctor with heart for her community, this space has given back to the community with medical care, preschool and jobs training skills!

Thank you Lila for creating a lovely day of self-care and movement. It was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed the balance of stillness, reflection, fun, collaboration, connection and strengthening exercises. The body awareness that classes with you activate last through the days that follow. Enjoyed all the offerings of each modality and instructors. Looking forward to more retreats at home and in person. Thank you for a truly heart-opening experience.
