Interior designer, artist, former actress and explorer of the living world, Lila is Franco-Algerian. She builds bridges between kindness, solidarity and mutual aid, blending nature, landscapes and architecture. She has blended different traditions along the way and draws on her two cultures to offer unique, authentic and deeply inspiring experiences.
For over seven years, Lila has been welcoming guests and well-being enthusiasts to her retreats and private face-to-face courses. She shares her expertise with passion and professionalism, while remaining attentive to individual needs. Her practice is marked by kindness, deep exchanges and her ability to unite groups. Lila’s aim is for each stay to bring balance, serenity and energy, both physically and mentally.
Whether you’re a novice, intermediate or experienced practitioner, Lila accompanies you in certified classes in yoga, pilates, tai chi, yin yoga, as well as holistic treatments such as sound healing, to regain self-confidence, harmonize emotions, rebalance energies and lay solid foundations. Each practice allows you to reconnect with yourself, replenish your energy and leave with a lasting sense of balance.
EYA Retreats was born out of the Covid crisis. Lila felt a lack of connection, an urgent need for places to meet, exchange, replenish and take care of herself and others. At a time when solidarity, caring and sharing were needed more than ever, she decided to turn this vision into action.
With passion and determination, she spent over a year traveling to exceptional locations in Europe and abroad, creating unique well-being programs combining body practices, holistic treatments and immersion in rare environments, where every element – earth, water, fire and air – is part of the journey. Each stay invites you to reconnect with your deepest foundations, to return to your core, to press “reset” and start afresh on healthy foundations, where everything can be rebuilt and flourish naturally.
EYA
During these stays, whether in Uzès, Brussels, the Sahara, Algeria or elsewhere, Lila is there from start to finish to guide the guests and create a unique and inspiring setting, combining quality sports practice, exceptional immersion in rare places, and moments of cocooning and total well-being.
For Lila, it’s essential to work with fairness and respect for everyone, valuing the talent and commitment of its staff for their personal fulfillment, so that each stay is bathed in positive vibes, authentic, warm and long-lasting.
An invitation to urban escapism or experiences close to nature
9 days / 8 nights
Between sea, desert and self-reconnection
Beautiful escapes to find yourself, between authentic well-being and exploration of rare territories. From the softness of Uzès to the light of the Sahara, via the cocooning charm of Brussels, let yourself be carried away by suspended moments.
A unique alliance where taking care of yourself rhymes with discovering the world. Each trip is designed to breathe new life into you, to pamper you in depth, and to leave you feeling replenished, fit and transformed.
What those who have come on retreat with us have to say
I had a great time with Lila, very intuitive and fun in her approach to yoga and transmission. A pleasant stay, rich in teachings and awareness, beautiful encounters and discoveries. Ideal for practising, relaxing and enjoying yourself at the same time, thank you!
This yoga retreat in Brussels with Lila was exceptional. I enjoyed everything: the yoga sessions, the sound baths, the exchanges with Lila, Fatima’s wonderful cooking. A warm, peaceful and comforting atmosphere. It was an unforgettable experience, with an exceptional woman. I left there changed and serene. Thanks again 🙏
This retreat was a wonderful experience for me. The surpassing of oneself. I’d like to thank Lila enormously, whose kindness and professionalism gave me confidence in myself and in what I was capable of achieving, as well as her invaluable advice. Thanks to Fatima for the delicious meals concocted with love. Everything was perfect. I’m ready to start this wonderful adventure all over again. Marie
Sharing a retreat with Lila is like stepping into a bubble of serenity: with all her sensitivity and kindness, she passes on her knowledge and love for the well-being of body and mind through yoga sessions in which each posture has meaning and enables us to move forward in our quest for spirituality and tranquility. And what can I say about her sound journeys: my mind still remembers them, and all I have to do is close my eyes to hear the gentle sound of the crystal bowl, the power of the drum or the vibrations of the Tibetan bowl. But her love of well-being goes far beyond that: she also knows how to let us enjoy the beauty of this region, and how to find places in the heart of nature where, after a hike, we can let ourselves be carried away by the calm current of a river, and then let ourselves be caressed by the sun’s rays as we lie on the rocks. And what can we say about the massages: Lila is surely a magician sent by the universe, her hands able to relax you and release old and new tensions. In just 40 minutes, she can give you a feeling of renewal, like coming back to life, a second birth. Fatima’s love of people and cooking, and her kindness, took us on a journey through her dishes, which subtly combined recipes from her homeland with physical and spiritual well-being, giving us an explosion of flavours at every meal. If the sun had a name, it would be Lorraine. Every day, at every moment, she brightened our days with her good humor, her attentions and her bursts of laughter. And Amel, so discreet, whose complacency and smile helped make our stay simply extraordinary. For my part, these shared moments allowed me, like the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly, to become the real Michelle again: light, free with a touch of madness, always accompanied by a touch of sensitivity. Honestly, I’m happy and downright proud to have given myself this gift. What more can I say? I think every woman, at least once in her life, should go on a retreat with Lila, whatever the reason (to free herself, to find herself…), because we are all warriors and proud of it. I can’t thank you enough, Lila, Fatima, Lorraine, Amel and, of course, all the warriors who shared these moments with me.
⭐💚MERCI 🌿🍀🍀 What an unforgettable week… A yoga retreat like a new breath, carried by incredible, deep, powerful feminine energy. Lila, pushed us towards the best of ourselves.

We took the time… To anchor ourselves. To love ourselves.❤️ To honor the powerful women we are.🥹🥹 Thank you for this beautiful energy, the smiles, and this kindness…. an unforgettable experience! 🍀🍀🍀
I’ve done two retreats with Lila from EYA Retreats and have been just as welcome in Brussels as at Uzès❣️ I really like the style of yoga Lila teaches 🤓💪😌 The props provided, the options offered according to each guest’s abilities, the structure and variety of the classes, the delicious vegan meals, the family atmosphere and the superb outdoor activities have convinced me to sign up for a third retreat 🙊 Let’s hope I’ll be as well received and looked after in Algeria as I was in Belgium and France 🤗
I had a wonderful stay in a place where you feel good, with the scent of jasmine that soothed me from the moment I woke up, and a magnificent landscape all around. A warm and friendly welcome from Lila, the yoga and pilates instructor, who took the time to explain and, if necessary, correct our postures during the classes, but above all who always listened to us and gave us good advice. She showed us around this beautiful region, whether in the countryside or in the towns. Every day I had the chance to eat incredible vegetarian meals prepared with passion by Lila’s mother and cousin. This break of a few days allowed me to let go and feel at peace with myself. Thank you Lila for these wonderful moments. Anne Perey
✨ An unforgettable stay ✨ I was lucky enough to take part in a yoga retreat led by Lila, an exceptional teacher: caring, attentive and deeply human. Each yoga and pilates session was rich, complete and of the highest quality, always adapted to the needs of the group. In the evening, the ying and the sounds of the bowls before bedtime were great. The house is magnificent, bathed in light, perfumed by jasmine, with a pool ideal for relaxing. The vegetarian meals were simply delicious: lovingly prepared, full of flavor and creativity… a real treat for the taste buds! The walks in the surrounding area were superb, with refreshing swim breaks in splendid natural spots. All in a wonderful atmosphere of sharing together. And the trip to the Uzès market was the icing on the cake. Many thanks to Lila for this replenishing, joyful retreat full of wonderful surprises. An experience I can wholeheartedly recommend 🌺
Everything was perfect, Lila is a beautiful person, deep and competent. She takes us on a journey through a yoga workshop with an oriental and Provençal flavour! The mamas’ cooking adds to the flavor of this jasmine-flavored stay. The evening yin yoga with music is a moment of grace. 🙏🏼
A wonderful experience, full of sweetness and sharing, I thank Lila for everything she brought me, a very rich encounter that will continue over time, I’ll be back with pleasure for other adventures, I recommend this experience to all women, I’d never done yoga before, Lila was very attentive and encouraging, allowing me to discover a new discipline that I’m going to continue with (wink for the spa outing). Magical moment, a place, a moment of relaxation to disconnect ✨🧘♀️ Thanks again for allowing me to reconnect with myself 💚
Very good retreat with Lila who was extremely caring and professional. Thank you Lila for a wonderful time together.
A wonderful experience. Everything was perfect: a warm welcome from Lila, Mama Nadia and Samira, an exceptional location and a well-balanced program combining sports, relaxation and precious moments of sharing. A great way to fill up on positive energy! Thank you so much for everything!
Everything was perfect! Top-notch organization, delicious healthy food, great guests, magnificent region, activities adapted to everyone’s tastes. Bravo Lila for all the energy you so tirelessly transmit. I recommend this retreat 1000% Marie ( Brussels)
A lovely, gentle interlude that was enriching in human, physical and mental terms! Completely new to yoga/plilates, I discovered myself thanks to Lila’s generosity and encouragement, capable of performing complicated postures. I loved letting go during sound baths. I loved discovering healthy, tasty meals. Meditating, exchanging and sharing while discovering simply magical places helped me to soothe a certain “personal anger”, and for that I thank EYA. I’ll be happy to repeat the experience.
I’ve done 2 retreats with Lila and it’s not over yet, it was great! You come out reenergized for the months ahead. Her yoga is top-notch, progressive in intensity, hyper global and varied. The sound baths are super relaxing, the location is magnificent and I loved the river swim. The team is super nice ❤️ and the encounters have been enriching. Thank you Lila☀️ and see you soon!
A yoga retreat in Uzès at the top! Thanks Lila! A great balance between yoga sessions and time in nature, between rest and self-transcendence, between solo calm and moments of sharing. It was a truly replenishing few days! We had such a great time with the whole team, and so much good food in our stomachs!
This 3-day retreat in Brussels is incredible. We let ourselves be carried along by the kind-hearted Lila, who cooked us vegan dishes throughout. I hadn’t practiced yoga for years, and here too, everything is modulated and adapted through quality teaching. The apartment, a real cocoon, allowed us to disconnect in a beautiful energy. I discovered sound healing and the therapeutic tuning fork, and was able to observe the benefits of relaxation and in-the-moment emotional release. A true parenthesis of sisterhood that gave rise to some fascinating exchanges. I highly recommend it!
We took part in a retreat from May 01 to 05, 2024 with Eya Retreat (Lila). It was the most beautiful experience of our lives. We spent 5 wonderful days. Lila is an incredible person, caring and very kind. We ate very well (vegetarian, lactose and gluten free), everything was delicious! We didn’t miss a thing, everything had been thought of so that our stay went perfectly. The villa was sublime, everything well decorated and clean. The yoga classes were very good, we learned a lot. The activities were also very enjoyable. We simply had a wonderful stay, an incredible break from our daily lives. We came back feeling great and extremely well-being. We’d do it again with our eyes closed. For anyone needing a break as well as replenishment, we recommend this yoga retreat 100%!!!!
Lila is a Yoga Master, competent, human and a great and generous person with whom we learn to be ourselves differently, with whom we learn to become ourselves. Let’s continue to anchor what Lila teaches us in our daily lives, because without discipline, this art withers, and we are the flowers she waters with her benevolence. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for this Copernican revolution 💐❤️ Dounia
Come and be guided by Lila, a host and teacher who passes on her love of harmony-which you’ll see in the tasteful decoration of the apartment where you’ll be welcomed as if at home-, of yoga-by blending a variety of techniques, and of the art of yoga.
Wonderful retreat in Brussels with Lila. First experience and not the last! Warm welcome, I felt at ease right away. A wonderful person who knows her job inside out, which is very reassuring for a beginner like me to leave with a solid foundation. She gives us self-confidence during this retreat, which really calms us down. I’m so glad I discovered this kind of retreat with Lila. I really recommend it, because it’s not just a yoga retreat, but a complete well-being retreat. Thank you for this.
A surprisingly beneficial retreat for a yoga novice like me. The moments shared in a magnificent setting, combined with alternating yoga and Pilates sessions led by Lila, who is characterized by her kindness, gentleness, attentiveness and professionalism, made for a perfect stay. Added to this was the attention and delicious food concocted by two touching, caring women and the group of sensitive, open-minded guests. This stay allowed me to replenish myself physically and emotionally, to release tension and take the time to breathe (literally and figuratively!) Thank you Lila and all the team, thank you EYA. Would definitely do it again.
Thank you for this beautiful interlude. Leyla made me feel very welcome. She is a joyful, competent person who listens to you. A 3-day retreat in Brussels with excellent yoga classes. Good, healthy food, sound journeys that soothe and relax you. The house is bright and beautiful. The three days were too short. I can’t wait to come back to Uzes. Big kisses and don’t change a thing!
Thank you to all the team for their gentleness, professionalism and kindness, a very pleasant stay Thanks to Aude for her massage, a relaxing moment much appreciated 😊
I had the privilege of being one-on-one with Lila during the three-day retreat, from Monday to Wednesday. What a meeting! Lila teaches yoga professionally and with passion, always listening to her yogi. The transmission doesn’t stop there: diet, beauty secrets, life advice… Lila is 200% committed to the retreat. She is a caring, sunny person whose energy is infectious. In addition to yoga classes, her program includes sound bathing sessions. It was a discovery for me, and I must say I’m already looking forward to repeating the experience, because it feels so good! I came away from my stay in Brussels feeling soothed, light and aligned. Thanks to Lila, whom I’m already looking forward to meeting again at a future retreat ✨🤍
My first yoga retreat, and definitely not my last! So much kindness and sharing, I’d come back!
An unforgettable experience, an exceptional location and some wonderful encounters. I 100% recommend this enchanting interlude.
Superb retreat by Lila, Angèle and Aude! a real moment of disconnection, discovery and sharing. to be repeated without moderation!
Thank you for these moments full of gentleness and beauty. This workshop is replenishing because of the activities on offer, but above all because of the quality of the hosts. It’s a workshop that allows you to meet beautiful people. Thank you 😘
A moment out of time that does body and mind good! A stay so rich in discoveries and precious moments ✨ A gentle, caring team who are there to help us reconnect with ourselves and the environment 🤗 Not to mention the magnificent encounters and idyllic setting 🌞 You can go for it with your eyes closed!
Lila is a beautiful person, and does everything in her power to bring you well-being and make it easier for you to let go. Trust her, you won’t be disappointed.
An extraordinary place, a welcoming and caring hostess, top-notch yoga sessions. Massages that leave body and soul in suspense…. if you’re dreaming of an unforgettable stay, you’ve come to the right place with the right people.
I spent some unforgettable days with Lila and my stay went very well. The quality of the welcome, the courses, the walks, the meals 😋 and the location were incredible. I would like to thank Lila for her friendliness, her proactivity, her availability and her professionalism. I recommend this trip to everyone. A beneficial trip for both mental and physical health . It was great!
Intimate and bright place. Yoga classes accessible even to beginners like me ( I used to take a little break in case of laziness 😂.) Vegan meals repair the body and are absolutely culinarily accessible. The massages relax the body from head to toe (face, back, legs). Lila, Aude and Angel are real, restful human beings with whom I came away lighter, more serene, just happier. I sincerely recommend this retreat to anyone who needs a break in their life.
These few days with Lila, Aude and Angèle were truly enchanting. A big thank you to the three of you for your kindness, goodwill and positive vibes, which will stay with us for a long time. Thank you to all the guests who made this session so intense and magical.
We were 10 friends and had a magical time thanks to Lila, Rose and Angèle. Lila’s yoga was appreciated by all, even though they were at different levels. A great moment of relaxation and zenitude, in a beautiful house. We’re all keen to do it again.
Beautiful experience, beautiful people, it was a timeless stay in a beautiful place. Yoga with Lila is intense and accessible…I love it. Angèle’s cooking is amazing, and Aude’s massages a well-being. 💖 What happiness! Karen
Thank you to Lila, Aude and Angèle for your professionalism and kindness! This retreat was simply magical! A wonderful experience rich in activities proposed by the wonderful Lila. The workshop allowed me to meet the precious guests. The place is a haven of peace. I recommend Lila’s retreats without hesitation.
They were a few precious days that allowed me to return to the hand yoga of Lila, an incredible master who made us work hard as well as gently, each at her own pace. These days, in a house ideal for disconnecting, were enriching for the soul. Thank you Lila, Angèle and Aude and all those precious guests. Anna
An exceptional time with friends. Lila is very professional, she knows how to adapt her practice to each person’s level… I really enjoyed her classes. The place is great and the team, Angèle and Odde, very caring. A big thank you for this retreat… I’m looking forward to seeing you again.
A 5-star yoga retreat in the heart of the Cévennes in a beautiful gîte. Lila is not only a wonderful yoga teacher but also a beautiful person. I highly recommend thinking of yourself and doing good with Lila.
These few days of timeless retreat were magnificent and will remain for me a particularly precious moment. Lila was able to create the perfect alchemy between yoga, well-being, human warmth, kindness, a superb location, beautiful walks and so much more. She is also very well surrounded by Aude and Angèle, who are indispensable! What’s more, she met some unforgettably beautiful people. Thank you all so much!
I had an extraordinary stay in an authentic place typical of the region. I’d been looking for months and my intuition led me to the right place. It was my first retreat and true yoga experience. We had a warm and caring welcome, top-notch classes with an attentive teacher, Lila, who enabled us to make rapid and gentle progress. A beautiful person, just like our two cooks who pampered us throughout our stay with delicious dishes prepared with love. Thank you for this wonderful experience, this well-being interlude that went far beyond my expectations ( massage, sound travel…)💕 I will never forget this stay and I really recommend this very enriching experience. Thank you also to the two beautiful people who shared this incredible experience with me😘
I’d been wanting to do a yoga retreat for a long time and was looking for something that would suit me, and I wasn’t disappointed at all when I signed up with EYA RETREAT. Lila is a yoga professional, among other things, but above all she’s a beautiful person, gentle, very attentive and empathetic. I had a wonderful time in every way. The classes were great, and Lila was able to help me evolve (despite an old injury that still bothers me). Lila took great care to adapt the postures for me and to ensure that everything went smoothly. I’m extremely satisfied and this was a wonderful encounter for me. The two ladies who cooked were so kind and attentive, it was incredible how they treated us to their delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes👍 Also by my side were 2 lovely women, truly a wonderful encounter. Thank you so much my beautiful Lila for being on my path, and our paths will certainly cross again. From heart to heart 💓 Mina. Retreat In Uzès.
A magnificent place where moments of sharing, visits, yoga, massages…are orchestrated by Lila🌺 with generous benevolence, experienced professionalism and great gentleness. Not forgetting the moms in the kitchen, who concocted delicious, love-filled 4-handed meals for us… Thank you for everything 🙏🏼 and I plan to do it again 🧘🏻♀️!
A splendid experience! The setting is beautiful, the place is quiet in a charming little village. Lila is a wonderful person, a caring yoga teacher who listens to you, full of energy and always smiling! If you need to find yourself, replenish and renew, this is the place to go! Thanks to the moms for their delicious, healthy cooking and, above all, for their joie de vivre! Thank you Lila, for everything, don’t change a thing, you’re perfect!
Very good experience, a very pleasant well-being getaway for an hour. Massage and facial by Aude, super.

Yoga sessions can be adapted to all levels
Thank you Lila for this fabulous experience
I will be back with great pleasure.
A warm place, the team is really nice, the yoga allowed me to reconnect with my inner self, the oil massage a real discovery, the meals prepared by the chef a marvel🙏
A magical retreat! Exceptional organization! Meeting 3 beautiful people, Marie and Lila for the yoga classes (exceptional classes) and Zoé for the delicious meals, all in an idyllic setting…..
It was a very enriching experience with caring people who took great care of us all. Everything was perfect, from the organization to the food, the yoga classes and the beautiful places we visited. I met some wonderful people. It did me a world of good and I’m planning to do the retreat again next year.
I had a great time with Lila, very intuitive and fun in her approach to yoga and transmission. A pleasant stay, rich in teachings and awareness, beautiful encounters and discoveries. Ideal for practising, relaxing and enjoying yourself at the same time, thank you!
This retreat was a truly precious moment.
Lila’s yoga sessions, the lovely encounters, Angele’s meals, so delicious and ingenious! And the lovely location! I have only one sincere recommendation: Sign up for the next session! ❣️
