Praise Wall
To all the humans I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting and deep honor of serving I would like to say thank you.
Thank you for your trust, love and friendship. Thank you four your courage, openness and willingness to show up. I see you, I hear you, I honor you.
May you always stay blessed and find joy on the very personal path of your own liberation.

“ Working with Lilya is the greatest investment you can make for yourself and your journey towards becoming a more real version of you! Lilya came as a blessing at a crazy, chaotic time in my life, when I was feeling dissociated, wounded and disembodied. As a therapist, she holds space for you so beautifully, allowing vulnerability, healing, and releasing to occur naturally.

At a very difficult phase in my life, this wonderful human made me feel safe and at ease with my unhealed parts. She made me feel in control of my life transformation, and helped me find the tools I needed to make healthier and healed decisions for myself. Even months after our first session, I still use her guidance in my every day life. She has made me feel seen and heard… by myself.”

“ I had the great pleasure to work with Lilya Sabatier at the Utsava Maa women’s festival in Rajasthan, in January 2020. She was nominally there to offer her gifts as a yoga teacher (and she is a very gifted yoga teacher, make no mistake about it!) but what she brought to this gathering went far beyond what anyone could have expected or imagined.

Lilya took a large and diverse group of women (from all over the world, from all socioeconomic backgrounds, from all ages) and wove us into a circle of divine feminine power the likes of which I have rarely ever seen. Out of many, she forged us into ONE — one gorgeous, vivid, loving, living, breathing, emotional creature. And by guiding us into that one united divine circle, Lilya allowed each woman in the group to heal, to feel, and to transform—exactly as each of us individually needed. The only word that I can rightfully use to describe Lilya’s extraordinary power is “shamanistic” — although I’m also pretty relaxed about calling her a “high priestess”. To be sure, she has a near-magical gift as a healer and a teacher. Not one woman who was touched by Lilya during this retreat will forget the experience. Certainly I will not soon forget it. Whether individually or in a group, I would encourage any woman who ever has the chance to work with Lilya Sabatier to seize that opportunity. Healers as brilliant as her do not come around very often—don’t miss this one.”

This is the first time I have tapped into my animalistic side and embraced my rage without shame — a message I have never received before today.

“ I met Lilya at a speakers bootcamp. The first day I was extremely apprehensive but this one woman who walked in here, I looked at her and said ‘you’re beautiful’ and she responded back to me in the same way and said ‘you’re beautiful’ and I just think that her energy is so amazing and I bonded with her.

“ Thank you for this wonderful weekend. There is clearly a before and after even if everything is a continuity. It created shifts in me and made it possible to unlock certain things. The first days were a little difficult, a lot of fear, discomfort…
Read more
I was very low energy but I know it is to better reset myself. I am learning to trust myself. I try to ground myself as much as possible and come back to the present moment, to my body, when I realize that I am avoiding things a little too much. I was able to act, assert myself, express my boundaries, who I am, my authenticity in a relationship that is very close to my heart and which is unstable. So a lot of changes little by little… It’s sometimes a little destabilizing but it feels good to be yourself and to accept that sometimes I don’t have the energy or the will to interact with other people . Through this work, I am listening to myself more and I finally hear my own needs and what my body is telling me. I also hear my intuition and core beliefs much better now that the noise in my head is paused from time to time. So, thank you for giving me the keys to my own liberation and making me aware of all these things that I did not see in myself. It is precious.”
Colleen Hindsley

“ Lilya Sabatier is a healer, shaman, and badass I met at the Shri Jasnathasan ashram in the middle of India’s Thar desert. My first interaction with Lilya was in her yoga class where she gently told me, “you can do more. I can tell you’re holding back.”
Read more
And I was. Over the next week, I watched as Lilya connected with the other people staying at the ashram. She offered insightful advice, soothing teas, healing hugs and her own blend of happy, peaceful energy. I experienced her healing firsthand during a powerful women’s circle. Again, I had been holding everything back — my real emotions, fears, tears— but Lilya coaxed it out of me. I wrote in my journal: ‘Lilya is a super healer, a white witch, a shaman.’ Please get yourself some of that shaman magic. It will change your life.”

She exercises her art with accuracy and uses the collective to create imperceptible interactions at first, which reveal themselves to be magical. I had the joy of participating in one of her events. I wanted a transformation and she received my new self in a cradle of tolerance, love and security. I will never forget what I felt, it is engraved deep within me. For that, Lilya, I thank you again and wish you to continue on this healer’s journey.”

“ I’m not the most trusting person, but I do believe that there are a lot of people out there that take advantage of others. For this reason, I’m always quite careful who I trust in general, but even more in all the holistic aspects. To be very honest, I ended up with Lilya without knowing exactly what she does.
Read more
I have 3 slipped discs and after spending a couple of days in pain, I decided to talk to her to see where it could take me. While we were talking I recognized a lot of common procedures between her work and a very good Dr. that used to treat me when I was living in Europe. So, I decided to come and meet her for the same.
I believe in energy, but I don’t think anyone can connect easily to it, but Lilya proved me wrong quite fast. I really don’t know if the terms I want to use are appropriate, but while I was lying down, she started touching very specific parts of my chest. I realized that something out of a common massage was actually happening. I could feel pain while she was just touching me, but this isn’t the meaningful part of it, I could feel the pain as emotions. For obvious reasons, I didn’t want to accept most of it, because true feelings and emotions are really scary, mostly when you realize you’ve been keeping them from yourself for a long time. It’s even more overwhelming when you understand that Lilya is just guiding you through your own conflicts. Conflicts that without wanting to see them, have become harmful for your own body. Breathing and letting go as easy as it sounds, isn’t. But with her help at least I’ve managed to understand what the real problem was or is, and how much work I need to do on myself to be able to heal. I was already blown away by the way she was guiding me and the things she was able to show me, but sometimes at very unique quiet moments, she’d say something that almost slipped her own lips, it’s like if her thoughts came out without her brain processing them, but every single time we had this kind of moment, was mostly to ask me about something, a memory or a feeling that I had very present in my mind at that moment, or that even meant a lot to me. Not a single time her comments weren’t pertinent and I realized that they were just steps to guide me until I find my own way to deal with my own problems. If I could explain in a simpler way, whatever Lilya does is just amazing and very hard to explain without having experienced it. If you have a doubt just go empty your mind of any kind of a priori and go through it. I won’t say that she did magic… but it really helped. I hope this is helpful and I really wish you go and meet her.”

We shared an earthly meal in a setting straight out of a forest.

She brings you to yourself wonderfully and creatively.”

“ I found Lilya when I was struggling with letting go of an enormous amount of pain. I’d experienced a deeply traumatic episode towards the end of Nov 2021, that episode had unpacked years of repressed trauma and while I had already done a lot of work through 2022 to heal myself, there came a point where I needed another human to help me with the pain.
Read more
Lilya was that human.
In almost every session with her, I went deeper and deeper into my own psyche and excavated the root causes of my pain. I discovered not only had I abandoned myself several times but I had found it hard to forgive myself for the times that I actually chose myself. I finally learnt that it was okay to choose myself over everything else.
She helped me see that almost every external betrayal I had experienced was because I had often betrayed myself internally. She was the mirror I needed the most to learn that most of the pain I was holding on to wasn’t an outside job but an inside one.
The insights I received through our work together, helped me integrate my life experiences and have taken me a few steps further on my healing journey towards self discovery. Thank you, you beautiful human for being part of my evolutionary process.”

I have been taking therapy for over 5 years now but no one was able to take me so deep into my psyche to investigate triggers and offer tangible tools to empower me the way Lilya did. I truly feel her support for me and I feel a sense of embodiment into my own being. I am very grateful for this encounter with Lilya, which fills me with hope and trust in myself for the future.”

“ Lilya is pure love, magic, a catalyst for change, Divine acceptance, grace, a safe space, inspiration, a sister. Writing this now brings out a wave of emotions because she cracked me wide open, down to the soul space. She literally and metaphorically helped to peel away layers of ancient walls and blockages and left me square in grace’s light. My own light to be seen, heard, acknowledged, loved.
Read more
The universe put Lilya in the middle of my path leaving no room for doubts about her importance and impact that she would later have. I met her at a women’s festival in India, thousands of miles away from “home”. She showed me immediate sisterhood and acceptance.
However, I wouldn’t experience Lilya’s magic until the last days of the festival. During a special women’s circle Lilya shared another gift of hers with us; we chanted, held space for one another, moved our bodies, and cried together. Lilya was the catalyst, she held us and created a safe space to allow for immense healing.
Suffice to say, Lilya has helped to create a shift in me. A shift that has slowly spread to all parts of this life, supporting me and encouraging me to leave the old layers behind, to let the light shine, and know that I am seen, heard, acknowledged, loved.”

“ Lilya has many gifts that I experienced firsthand at the Utsava Maa women’s retreat in India. She is an incredibly skilled and compassionate yoga instructor as well as an intuitive healer who led a group of us in a healing circle one morning at the retreat.
Read more
The gathering started out as a tribute to Liz Gilbert’s late partner and turned into a sacred circle where one after another, women walked into the middle of the group and shared their deepest hurts. With each person, Lilya knew what to do to help and comfort them. She encouraged us to sing, dance around the person, literally hold them up, or hug them. With one woman dealing with the loss of her sister, Lilya stripped the layers off of her: beanie, a jacket, two scarves, sweaters, symbolic of the walls this woman was hiding behind. Within minutes, the woman, with tears streaming down her face, danced with the group as we chanted around her. The experience moved all of us, and I have often wondered how Lilya knew what to do with each of the people who were brave enough to go into the circle and share their pain. Lilya has a gift of not only knowing what people are going through but how to help nurture them in the moment, so they can feel supported and a little bit better when they leave. It was so powerful to see her inside of her calling, and I would recommend Lilya to lead anything like this. She is so special, and you will pick up on that energy the second you meet her.”

I had the pleasure of being a part of a ritual facilitated by Lilya in the start of 2020, and what I was about to experience would vibrate my roots and heal my being in the most profound way. With the gentleness of her presence and the ancestral depth of her voice she created a space where healing held me and other women in our vulnerabilities. She navigates the space of the unknown in the most beautiful way and is thereby able to hold space for all we have a difficulty embracing ourselves. I’m deeply grateful for the healing space she created, and can most surely recommend taking part in whatever space she is holding; light, space and love floats were her awareness in this way goes. Jai Maa!”

“ Being invited into a women’s circle for healing was in itself a monumental experience. Lace in some healing for myself as well .. and.. wawaweewah! I was happy to be an observer, a guest in this sacred space. observing the ceremony was very touching.
Read more
Nearing the end, I was invited closer into the circle – in this moment I was appreciating everyone else’s experiences and healing. then took a moment to reflect on my own life, my own traumas, healed and unhealed, and my heart broke loose. a flood of pent up emotion was able to flow freely out of me. What happened next was really incredible – another woman in the circle noticed my tears and hugged me. in this moment of knowing, from her end, understanding the pain/ hurt – she just gently accepted my state. not encouraging or navigating my experience. just embracing me. embracing whatever I was in that moment. Men aren’t encouraged to operate this way. all the deaths in my family, the suicides of loved ones, the emotional cuts from my dad, the stress from work, the pressure of not feeling like you’re enough, the pressure of having to be tough, strong, and without emotion – men are encouraged to “walk it off” when in these states. Certainly men have strength that needs to be carried, as do women. and i think it’s amazing to have space to open up and be soft for a moment, to be gentle, and to not be so rigid with our composure – let the shit out!! once in a while that steam valve has to release. then you can get back to being tough, in a much clearer, easier, breezier way.”

“ I had the privilege of getting to know Lilya during a women‘s festival in the Thar desert at the beginning of this year. On the last morning, in honor of the anniversary of the passing of one of the women‘s life partner, she held a women‘s circle.

It was a space of true acceptance and authenticity Lilya created there, and I am still deeply touched and immensely grateful for having been a part of it. The power that was unlocked within this circle, through the sharing and supporting of us women, was incredible. At times, the grief and pain of trauma became difficult to bear, the energy seeming to solidify in the room – yet Lilya held the space with utmost grace and unwavering security, always finding the right words and actions to support each individual in their sharing as well as guide the group in how to hold space with her, calmly and lovingly. Lilya drew on different resources – speech, movement, touch and singing – to guide the collective through this process, and among these, her chanting was a truly special experience. A deeply moving and healing sound, her singing is unlike anything I have ever heard, the deepness and fullness of her voice bringing forth a kind of primal power and connectedness. It is truly remarkable how seen, loved and held I felt by this collective, even though I didn’t take center space for an explicit sharing. That is the magic of collective healing. And I bow before Lilya with gratitude, love and respect for her unique way of creating and holding space for this to take place. Thank you.”

“ I am so blessed to have Lilya as my yoga teacher. All my life I have pushed myself too hard. In yoga I push to try and become strong and prove I can do it. In life it is the same. Last year was the most psychologically painful year of my life.
Read more
Since the beginning of this year I have been plagued by physical pain. I presume at least in part that the situation I’m in now has come from the ones last year.
Lilya was brave enough and loving enough to tell me in one of our sessions a few weeks ago that when she watches me push too hard in yoga it causes her pain to see it. It was hard to hear but it was so much more than being told I was doing it wrong. It was Lilya telling my body and my soul that I’m enough as I am and that my growth would come from loving where I was now and listening to my body, not from hating where I am and pushing for change.
It was such a small detail and yet it completely changed my relationship to yoga.
For the first time I experienced the bliss that I hear people talk about when they talk about why they love yoga. It was the first time I felt my body release through yoga and the ‘aaaah’ breath came.
This week in our yoga session I was still in a lot of pain physically and my ability to sit gently and be patient as much as my body heals was wearing thin. It was safe with her to be vulnerable and to cry the tears that my inner child needed to release. She made yoga about me and where I was at. But the profound change also came from my body and from my heart. As she worked gently with me in the tears and through them, finally my back released. The days since then are the first time in 5 weeks that my body has been able to move freely without pain.
Thank God for Lilya – my body thanks her but my whole being thanks her too. She is not just teaching me yoga – she is teaching me a whole new way to be with myself. And I like it. I like this side of me I’ve never cared for. And it likes me back. Thank God I say again. Thank God for Lilya. Her work is divinity in human form.”

I’ve been practicing yoga for three years back in Sweden and Norway before I went to participate in a combined permaculture course and yoga retreat in India, with Lilya as our yoga teacher. Lilya created a permitting atmosphere during her classes, with space for both laughter and ease but also for moments of deep contact with the self, the group and the nature that we were surrounded with. I truly experienced complete focus and that I was practicing for my own sake, and I felt a very deep connection with my own body and mind. Even during the mornings when I didn’t feel like doing yoga at all I felt a joy and curiosity in experiencing that connection. During the two weeks of our retreat I learnt to see a lot about myself physically and emotionally that I’ve never seen before, in a very natural way. Lilya also inspired me to explore the power of chanting.”

She is also dynamic and spontaneous in addressing any ailment that may have sprung up, like a headache or backache or plain fatigue. She includes emotional and psychological well-being into her sessions, without deviating from the physical aims. Her classes, we discovered, are also a good time for bonding with each other. She herself has a positive and compassionate energy, which in turn helps us start our day on a good note. This is my partner’s first experience of yoga, so I am very happy to see that he is as committed and excited about the class as I am. She is great with people open and willing, irrespective of where they are at, physically and emotionally. If you are the kind who views learning to be the outcome of a teacher-student relationship, and not the deliverable guaranteed at the end of a class, then you will enjoy the sessions. The classes have helped us remain grounded through testing times, and we look forward to it (even the soreness that follows).”

“ Due to an injury I had to stop my yoga practice for a few years. I finally managed to get my physiotherapist to concede and let me start yoga again, on condition that the teacher has enough knowledge of the practice to give me the modifications I need so that I don’t relapse.

Lilya is that teacher. With every asana we are shown the correct alignment and guided to push ourselves to our individual maximum. She is always mindful of my back and gives me modifications when needed. I love her classes and always walk out of them having learnt something new. In fact, my sister and I were discussing that now that we have found lilya to guide us through our practice and teach us so much about life in general, we wish we could take her back to Cape Town to continue teaching us.”

“ Lilya’s classes are always a surprise- With warmth and care, her classes begin gently, turn dynamic and gradually lead you into a calm sense of gratitude.

Her focus and presence of mind assure you of her being there whenever needed. She encourages you to be curious and explore postures, not to adopt a one size fits all approach, making for a safer practice and teaching. Giving her heart to the class, she succeeds in orienting it, to the magic of the practice – joyful, spontaneous and grounded in the inherent intelligence of the body. Thank you Lilya!
I can’t thank my teacher, my guru Lilya enough. She has helped me discover my inner strength and zeal to be fit again after a decade of living the mindless dog eat dog life. I was never eating bad food, heading to the gym thrice a week but probably my body needed a higher energy level beyond all this, which is being delivered to me through Yoga. I think in hindsight losing inches or kilos are an after effect of redeeming yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am happy that yoga is a part of my life now.”

“ Chef Pablo Naranjo and I went for a three-day retreat with Lilya, in a beautiful location in nature. Through a combination of Qigong, Yoga, meditation, wellness, and self-reflection, Lilya created for us excellent, tailored, environments and routines for relaxation, reflection, and self-exploration. Whether you want to relax, reflect, self-explore, or simply have a retreat from a busy routine, you should definitely consider her”

“ As a studio owner, I came to know about Lilya through the yoga community early on. Lilya is one of the most sought after teachers in Mumbai and immediately, I felt a connection towards her.
Read more
I think that’s the beautiful thing about connection – it happens without rhyme or reason and with Lilya, it was instant. As a teacher, Lilya is sound and strikes a fine balance between strong and soft. As a person, Lilya radiates light and this truly shines through in everything she does, not only yoga. Lilya encompasses what it means to be a true yogi and the hard work she puts into her practice, her classes and her day to day life sets her apart. Love you, Lil!”

First of all I wanna thank you for considering my request to be part of the circle at the last moment, I felt called for it and you acknowledged it and accepted my request.

I didn’t know back then that the calling was to understand a karmic cycle that my mind has been fooling me with for so many years. It could have come earlier however it had to come to my conscious understanding through all my sisters present in this group. So I am extremely grateful to each one of you and to you Lilya for giving me the right understanding of the pain I was going through with patience & deep love.
I feel different, my actions have changed, I think and treat myself with love and most importantly I feel whole atleast to one area in my life’s journey I was lost in. Everything is unfolding at the right time 🙂
Thank you so much Shakti’s 🔱❤️✨

“ For Lilya’s guidance, radiance and wisdom I am forever grateful and one event that illuminated a divinity in nature, the universe and the self was a fire ceremony being facilitated by Lilya. We formed a circle around a pit which had a stable fire.
Read more
Upon the entry itself, we all felt a certain intensity, as if the spirit of the forest was itself omnipresent within our sight and spatial awareness. Lilya had spent some time setting up the shala not just physically but spiritually. The myriad of incense, fire and herbal smells along with perfect orange lighting submerged within the darkness of the forest around was spellbinding. What amazed me was her knowledge of shamanic mantras along with dedication to heal troubled beings such as myself through ancient indigenous methods. I mean these methods may seem beyond and unintelligent to the rational mind and there is a reason that they have been practiced and orally passed on for Millenia. What was extremely heartwarming and intense was the individual time Lilya gave to everyone to step into the light radius of the fire, crumple a paper list of things we want rid ourselves of (such as insecurities, emotional baggage, mistrust, fear and hatred) and furthermore guide our ritual through a circular breathing shamanic chant which she chanted non stop even if it physically hurt her. Her spirit and guidance made everyone feel released of unwanted troubles and feelings, like shattering a glass to see several pieces reflect different useful realities. The same night I had extremely vivid dreams of love, divinity and freedom. I would just conclude by saying that people need more healers and primitive knowledge holders such as Lilya. Her work has really enabled me to be a light onto myself.”

“ Lilya, I didn’t think that in 48 hours, and with a group of 12 people, you would point out and make us work on our weak and sensitive points, while also allowing us to discover the best in us, showing us that everything is achievable, that everything is within us!
Read more
Your sensitivity means that you know exactly how to move us forward and dig deep within: It’s destabilizing but very effective. We were already very close in class, but the connection with the people present at this weekend is stronger. I like your way of being, what you are, what emanates from you, your love, your kindness, your rich life experience, and this, from the first minutes in your presence. I like knowing that you will always be there, and that we will meet again. Namaste!”

“ The circle with Lilya was nourishing. She creates a great container for sharing, and as she makes you feel safe it’s easy to share. She has a thorough way of giving insights and can provide clarity into certain tendencies/patterns that we may be in a loop with.

It is nice to have a space for authentic sharing. Plus listening to others, a sense of connection is established. Knowing that others are also going through their own struggles and processes is a great unifier- knowing you are not alone is comforting. I couldn’t attend all the sessions but it still had a solid effect on me. Thank you Lilya for being real and providing this place of expression for me.”

“ Curiosity is a funny thing, it’s said that it kills cats. It’s curiosity that led me to Lilya. And if you don’t read the rest of this, the sessions with Lilya taught me that I needed to be even more curious.
Read more
When I met Lilya, I was going through what I can only term as a period of reflection. I had undergone some therapy and was trying to figure out what style of therapy would work for me. A friend at that time happened to tell me about Lilya. When I heard about the methodology that Lilya follows, I was partially skeptical but definitely curious and a few days later found myself in a session with her not expecting much at all honestly. And boy, was I wrong about everything I thought it would be.
With each session, I found myself discovering a little more about myself. Lilya’s open minded, kind and collaborative manner made me curious and reflect about not just where my emotions were stemming from but my perspectives on what I prioritize. We all tend to be busy for the sake of being busy, and forget to take a step back (am certainly guilty of this). My sessions with Lilya turned out to be the first step in learning the ability to step back and just breathe. With her help and coaching, I am now able to look at what I am feeling and do at least what I feel in a more holistic manner rather than just a direct cause-effect manner, which I used to tend to do. But most importantly, I think Lilya has taught me to keep questioning everything that is happening around us (including what we eat!) and not to take anything for granted. In short, as I said before, to continue to be even more curious, which I love!
Pablo Naranjo
Chef, Colombia
“ I love my job… I probably love it so much that a lot of times I’m overworked, stressed, tired and I’m not even aware of it. By the time I realize it, most of the time, I feel that one or two days off won’t be enough to recover.
Read more
In December 2018 I decided to take some time off, and thanks to a friend who was coming to visit me, we decided to take a 3 day vacation completely curated by Lilya. In just 3 days so many things happened. My sleeping and eating habits changed. Achieving that as a chef is not a simple task and I’m proud that I was able to see the need for these changes and went through with it. All the activities and the schedule for the day, let me understand and discover feelings and emotions that I feel I keep trapped because I don’t have the time to deal with it. Since day one, I felt a complete change in how I felt. My whole energy changed and I switched off from the city rhythm.
I can honestly say that in these three days I learned about myself and I understood that if I take care of my body, small changes make a huge impact on how I feel everyday. Some of my old habits are hard to change from one day to another, but I truly felt like I wanted to give myself a little more care and love. It took me almost two months to build up the courage and change things I enjoyed but weren’t doing me any good, but it’s happening slowly and I’m very happy about it. My conclusion is very simple and it’s the reason why I trust Lilya so much. She does not force me to do anything I don’t want to do, she just gives me a different perspective and shows me the impact of small changes. She often says she does not do anything and that it’s me doing all the work, but, the truth is that I believe it’s a 50/50 effort. I think it’s safe to say that I know she cares about me and she pushes me to open my eyes to be able to see everything from a different point of view until I want to make the changes on my own!”

“ I have been following Lilya on Instagram for a year now. As soon as I saw her story of 1 month of mentorship and healing, it didn’t matter if it was paid or free; I immediately signed up for it.
Read more
I knew that there were interferences/old beliefs/old patterns blocking my internal growth & healing, but it was hard to clear by myself and especially on a conscious level with subjectivity. I had been longing for such a session to clear them out, I was so lucky to have you doing this, Lilya.
She has been so kind and considerate in planning the sessions and its timings taking all the sister’s convenience in consideration. She let everyone speak their hearts out during the session and she picked up all our pointers and made sure she gave clear insights to how to heal and feel everything we have been feeling in our day to day lives and how to rebalance ourselves.
In each session, I felt the energy moving, felt more aligned, connected and nurtured by all the other sisters in the session. I want to express my gratitude for the sacred space you held in every session. Lilya is so intuitive, meticulous and experienced; she was able to clearly map out the cords that connected and affected which chakra and resulted in related symptoms and have them cleared from a deep level. This is indeed a very effective way to help restore one’s health on a soul and body level, and very meaningful too. Every session and every sister’s story & journey gave me so many learnings.
Lilya sure has an amazing gift. Obviously it only came from all her past experiences with life & conscious tackling. But seeing her taking this forward to heal others is commendable.
I enjoyed every session and look forward to meeting you in person one day. Can’t wait.
Much gratitude & only love ♥️.

Thank you for being a patient listener and a great company to be around.”

I am in the business of meeting and influencing people for sales on a daily basis. I’ve met hundreds if not thousands of people and I’ve never met someone like her. She is her own person, so rooted and although like all of us, she’s less than perfect, she has her own problems, fears and trauma, she’s always looking out to further her hand and help another person. I’ll tell you something about myself. I am blind. I can see about 5% of what you can see. On the first day of a bootcamp we were attending, not knowing who I am, whether I’m a nice person, she came out and lent her hand and said: « hey listen, can I help you get your dinner? There are very few people who would do that. Then I found out that she works with people, she does yoga and trust me that’s the prettiest yoga teacher you can hire! I can see 5% but that I could see. But more importantly, she does something called bodywork that helps people release their trauma. Can you believe that? Release your inner trauma. I think in today’s world, where so many of us suffer from depression and anxiety, I think what she’s doing is brilliant. She’s looking to solve a problem without medicines, without any harmful ingredients going inside of you. With love and care, and I think that’s a formula, a real formula to solve problems long-term. She has my complete support. And if I made any sense to you, I would encourage you to support by sharing this, by helping her grow and helping her help people who really need it. Thank you!”

There’s so much I can change by doing so little for myself in the first few minutes/hours of my day – that time is JUST mine! It is quite an experiential journey actually. I also feel empowered to consciously practice some sense of agency. I have been taking charge. As convenient as it has been to blame the world, a lot has in fact been in my control. Most days now aren’t a chain of reactions. I create my own positive actions to set the tone for a beautiful day I want ahead. Lilya, through this journey, does in fact set you up for success by encouraging you to aim for smaller goals but sure success. Here’s to breaking away from toxic patterns. To the beautiful year 2019 is going to be. 🙂 ”

I was not able to control my emotions and was afraid to show other people the way I was. I always perceived things negatively. When I first met Lilya, she gave me a lot of comfort. She started helping me in all my weaknesses, making them into strengths. She has helped me learn how to respond in different situations such as when I am angry or sad. Through all this process I am learning more about myself, about my body, what is beneficial and harmful, and the reaction to it. I am thankful for all the work that we have done together, she is helping me to grow up in a better way. After almost one year of us working together, I have noticed a lot of difference between me now and a year ago. She has also helped me learn how to deal with my family problems apart from my own problems. I’m so glad to have met her and I would strongly recommend Lilya. Though you have to be prepared to change, feel uncomfortable feelings and ready to overcome difficult situations. You will not squeeze all the capacity that she has, if you do not allow her to help you. Nothing is easy to achieve.”

I look up to you with a dream & will to have this warmth that you have, this level of empathy, patience, discipline , sense of calmness , this sensuality, grace and much more. This is not a testimony but more like an appreciation post & my way of offering gratitude to you for all the help and services you’ve provided selflessly. Talking about this wonderful concept of Community Healing as a process in my experience was beyond incredible. Four sessions could help me get some sort of clarity that I had been seeking and I can imagine what the continuous practice would do to me 😍I wanted to be able to trust myself and accept myself which became easier. The journey has begun for me and I can’t wait to explore new upgraded versions of me.
In the past, I’ve talked about how lonely healing can get since it’s so difficult to trust anybody you open up to and not everybody is willing to help or be a part of your healing process because it gets uncomfortable and ugly sometimes. It also made me realize that we need each other. It’s easier and we’re stronger together. This experience with you has been nothing but beautiful and empowering Lilya. Thank You Lilya.

I didn’t know what to expect when I went in, and Lilya (the blunt, but gentle force that she is) immediately put me at ease. When I thought I had it all figured out, she found something else to show me. She taught me to embrace the chaos and to accept myself as is, in the now. She’s a gentle, and firm guide.

When I met Lilya she was extremely confident about making me a more balanced and level headed woman and to my surprise I started seeing changes in my behavior, thoughts and personality in just two sessions. It worked for me because she gave me short exercises, readings and helped me manage my emotions better in order to become independent. By the end of 3 months I feel a lot more calm and confident, less insecure and I can definitely manage my challenges and emotions much better. I am grateful to have met Lilya, have the opportunity to learn from her and grow into the person I always wanted to be.”

As a result, the effects were longer lasting compared to physiotherapy, as this form of healing treated the body and mind as a single unit. It helped me immensely with my anxiety and in turn my body started feeling more flexible than I have ever felt in the last 5 years.”

I really enjoy her corrections and help in the class and I always leave feeling really relaxed and ready for the day. The pace of the class is also really good, I enjoy that we do something different each time. I also love her explanations about the postures and what doing them can do for your body. Also just her general knowledge on yoga and spirituality makes me want to come to class more.”

“ When I met Lilya, I was struggling emotionally, mentally, physically and financially. She’s extremely humble, warm and listens without any judgment. She showed me how I was harming myself with negative self-talk.

She helped me see my true potential and how I could discover it. Additionally, she helped me see my worth and to put myself first. She helped me to handle my emotions and navigate my everyday life by putting my anxieties to rest. Merely 3-4 sessions with her and I feel incredibly calm and confident in myself, my body and my decisions. I can’t believe someone would offer to impart her time and energy for someone in need without charging any money. I’m so grateful she saw through me and helped me overcome my own obstacles and lead a happier, more positive life.”

“ Thanks for creating this program. It went equipped me with a few tools that I found that I can use in my everyday life to incorporate mindfulness.

I was aware of my feelings/moods and was pleasantly surprised to find myself being more positive than negative. I guess earlier when I felt bad/sad/upset I made that my focus and termed the whole day as a bad day. However, noting down moods/feelings at different points of time in the day made me realize otherwise. I’m trying to incorporate at least a few tools from the program in my daily routine.”
