One on one guidance for spiritual seekers looking to process old pains, align with inner values, and return to an integrated way of life.
THIS IS FOR YOU
You don't need to have it all figured out to begin.
Maybe your nervous system feels stuck on high alert. Maybe you've been given a diagnosis and want support beyond the doctor's office. Maybe an old pattern keeps running, a season of life is ending, or you feel a quiet call toward a more soul-centered life. That is the heart of this work, and that is the space I hold.
You've tried all the things.
Yoga. Meditation. Eating well. Time outside. Therapy. And still, the same patterns, the same stories, the same triggers, the same nervous system.
You're not doing it wrong. Each tool works on one layer, but patterns live in many layers at once. Real change happens when you address all layers of your being in an integrative way, while deepening your relationship with the Sacred Source of life.
That's the medicine of Integrative Yoga Therapy.
It recognizes that you are more than body and mind. Classical Yoga contains time-tested teachings and practices designed to help you reduce internal suffering, gain greater clarity for your next steps, and support you in living aligned from the inside, out.
It's more than a practice, it's a path to inner peace.
THE APPROACH
Whole-person healing, rooted in a classical tradition.
Integrative yoga therapy brings the wisdom of classical Yoga and Ayurveda into a modern therapeutic setting. Your health is shaped by your thoughts, emotions, nervous system, habits, relationships, environment, and spiritual life, all at once.
So we consider all of it through the lens of the panchakoshas, the five layers of being human.
Body
Physical health, state of your nervous system, and how you move through your days
Energy
Vital life energy, or prana and your relationship with life force
Mind
Emotions, looping thoughts, and the stories you carry
Wisdom
Intuition, discernment, values-aligned life designed from the inside out
Bliss
Joy, deep rest, soul-level contentment, connection with something greater
YOUR GUIDE
Hi! I'm Lila.
I've spent 25 years studying, practicing and teaching classical yoga, and I've learned the most living it in my everyday life.
I trained in the Sivananda lineage of Advaita Vedanta and studied the classical texts with Sanskrit scholars for years. I've lived in ashram communities, and I still return to teach in yoga therapy trainings. But I live as a householder, with family, work, transitions and hard seasons of my own. That's where the work gets refined, and it's where I'll meet you.

Melony, Psychotherapist
Watching Lila work with my client was profoundly moving and deeply insightful as a psychotherapist. While traditional therapy often focuses on the mind and cognitive processing, Lila has a remarkable ability to reach the emotional, somatic, and spiritual layers of healing that many clients cannot access through talk therapy alone. One client I referred to her, after years of trauma work and brain-spotting, experienced a breakthrough that allowed her to finally process and release what had remained emotionally stuck for years. Lila’s work touched her soul, connected her with her inner child, and created a lasting shift in how she relates to herself. What makes Lila exceptional is her ability to see and support the whole person in a way that is both deeply compassionate and profoundly transformative.
It's the main reason I refer her to my clients who have hit a wall in their healing journey.
WHAT A SESSION LOOKS LIKE
Each 90-minute session meets you where you are.
We begin with a few deep breaths and a guided meditation to settle the nervous system and help you arrive. From there, you share what's asking for attention and any updates from our previous work. Then you're guided to the heart of your inner work.
Sessions are online. Bring a warm cup of tea, a journal and a quiet corner. It is recommended to give yourself some time after our session to process and integrate.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT THE WORK
In Their Words...
"I literally feel like the past two months working with Lila has offered me more relief and release than 10 years of therapy! I cannot recommend working with her enough!"
Rebecca, New York
"In just the intake session, I felt so comfortable, safe and seen. Lila helped me feel 'normal' and was able to identify key areas of my life that needed support. I truly believe she has a gift of seeing what we cannot. She truly shifted what I couldn't."
S., Japan
FOR YOGA TEACHERS + YOGA THERAPISTS
You hold space for everyone else. This is a space for you to be held.
Knowing the tools and knowing how to hold space for others isn't the same as being held on your own journey. If you teach yoga or work as a yoga therapist, the True Nature Journey is for you too, for your own processing, healing, burnout, or life transition. A Single Session is a place to bring a teaching question or a client you're holding.
