I had a wonderful retreat ! Lila and Katie are great teachers . Mae de Jade was an amazing venue for the Journey to the Heart retreat . I’m already looking forward to going to the retreat again next year … Thanks 🙏💙 Kurt

My experience at the “Journey to the Heart” Pilates and Movement Retreat with Katie and Lila was exactly the nourishing and restorative trip that I needed. From the moment my and I arrived, the breathtaking beauty of the Mar de Jade retreat center created the perfect container for rest, reflection, and renewal. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. Katie and Lila curated the retreat with such thoughtfulness and care. Each class felt calming, nourishing, and deeply restorative—accessible yet powerful in the way they encouraged us to tune into our bodies. Their teaching style created a space that felt supportive, grounding, and inspiring, and I especially appreciated the opportunity to take time for breathing and journaling each morning. The journal prompts helped me to reflect in ways I hadn’t expected and opened up conversations within our group that were honest, heartfelt, and deeply connecting. If you ever have the opportunity to attend “Journey to the Heart” with Katie and Lila, take it—you’ll come home with a full heart, meaningful connections, and a renewed sense of self.

A magical week for, for me, the sixth or seventh time. Lila and Katie are each gifted in their own way and together created something incredibly special. A beautiful place, fantastic food, warm and interesting people, and physically and emotionally restorative.

This was my first trip with Journey to the Heart - Lila and Katie are expert instructors and take great care to ensure each participant is cared for and has a well rounded mind and body experience. The location was stunning, the farm grown food delicious, the staff top notch, and the people in the group were fun, kind, and engaging. The retreat exceeded my expectations and I returned home refreshed and with a much better understanding of my mind and body connection. I would highly recommend any experience with Lila and Katie - thank you!!

Wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating trip! Lila and Katie were fantastic coaches - learned so much from each of their sessions. They taught us how to stretch and strengthen so many parts of our bodies that were previously neglected. While each session was gentle, we were all blissfully exhausted afterwards. Overall the trip provided a much needed physical, mental, and emotional release from the daily grind. Lila's cultivated a supportive community through her practice and these retreats, it was lovely spending time together. The resort was comfortable and had all the important amenities - delicious food, beautiful beach, cooling pool, and the best massage therapists! I'm already missing my fresh papaya with chia coconut pudding breakfasts, the colorful salad bar with delicious beets and fresh made dressings, healthy entrees, and crafty cocktails!
