Lila, thank you for being such an amazing teacher: your dedication, knowledge and enthusiasm are next level. You made me feel welcome, cared for me and my wellbeing, made sure everyone in the course was seen, heard and taught life changing akills. This course was run like a well-oiled machine, carefully thought out and beautifully presented. Thank you ever so kindly. Juud

Need help getting in touch with your inner self? Lila will help.
I decided to take the 200 hour yoga teacher training course after a 20 year career in the military. It was yoga therapy for the mind, heart, and soul. Lila’s led the way to help crack me open fully so I could get in touch with my true self. She is an amazing teacher and human being.

Lila Kirtana- Krishna Village
A warmer more committed and knowledgeable teacher of yoga and yogic philosophy and health practices you’d be hard pressed to find. Classes were conducted with great respect and enthusiasm which was evident throughout the entire retreat. Instruction was clear and precise with a warmth and empathy that was transmitted to all participants.
