Who is Layah?

About 5 years ago, I was in a car accident that changed my life.

Fast forward years of procedures and surgeries. Tens units and heat packs. Tearful prayers and endless fears spoken over me by baffled doctors telling me what the rest of my life was likely going to look like.

So many rules to follow. Don’t lift. Don’t stretch. Don’t turn. Don’t run. Don’t gain weight. Don’t sit too long don’t drive too far and heaven’s sake definitely don’t wear high heels.

After the “biggest” surgery I was given a choice: fuse my spine and hope for the best, or turn my back on the whole messy process and try to find another way through. I chose Option B. 

This trip will be taking place shortly after my 2 year anniversary of this surgery!
Enter Pilates.
I’ll always tell my story. The story of a person who thought the rest of her life would be haunted by the invisible second person - my Back; so wronged it became an entity unto itself. One to be considered when making plans. One to consult before committing to anything. One to fear sudden attacks of pain from.

But to my own occasional shock even still, through Pilates and the freedom I found for my own body, I found a call in my life to help people heal. My body continues healing every day, even as I teach others to do the same! Every day I learn more, and I’m so grateful to be able to immediately turn around and share everything I learn with my students. Maybe you’re here because you ARE my student. Maybe you’re a friend or partner or client of my students. Either way: welcome. I mean it when I say that this practice changed my life and I have not even one singular doubt that it can change yours if you let it.

Whether you’re super experienced or a total newbie, my goal is that this trip is more than just another “vacation with a twist.” But that you actually learn so much, about Pilates and about your bodies. That your practice is taken to a whole new level. That you make new discoveries and build upon previous ones. Truly my wish for you is that you leave this retreat completely renewed, believing in yourself and your amazing body in every possible way. 

What is Pilates? 

Pilates . . .
Pilates offers a multitude of benefits for both physical and mental well-being, including: 
  • Core strength and stability: Pilates focuses on strengthening the core muscles, including the abdominals, back, and pelvic floor. This improves overall stability, posture, and balance.
  • Improved flexibility: Pilates incorporates stretching exercises that promote flexibility and joint mobility. Regular practice can enhance your range of motion, alleviate muscle tightness, and improve overall flexibility.
  • ​Increased muscular strength and endurance: Pilates exercises target all major muscle groups, helping to develop strength and muscular endurance throughout the body. This can contribute to better functional movements and overall physical strength.
  • Enhanced body awareness and alignment: Pilates emphasizes precise movements and body awareness, promoting proper alignment and postural control. This can lead to improved body mechanics, reduced risk of injuries, and better overall movement patterns.
  • ​Injury prevention and rehabilitation: Pilates is often used as a form of rehabilitation and injury prevention. Its low-impact nature and focus on controlled movements make it suitable for individuals recovering from injuries or with physical limitations.
  • ​Mind-body connection and mindfulness: Pilates encourages concentration, focus, and mindful movement. By connecting the mind and body, Pilates can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve mental clarity.
  • ​Improved breathing and lung capacity: Pilates emphasizes proper breathing techniques, encouraging deep diaphragmatic breathing. This can enhance lung capacity, oxygenation, and overall respiratory function
All classes in Bali will be designed to challenge and accommodate all experience levels.
  • Posture and spinal alignment: Pilates exercises promote spinal alignment and core strength, which can help improve posture and alleviate back pain caused by poor alignment or weak muscles.
  • Stress reduction and relaxation: The mindful and controlled nature of Pilates can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Engaging in Pilates can provide a mental break from daily stressors and promote a sense of calm and well-being.
  • Improved balance and coordination: Pilates exercises often involve coordinated movements that challenge balance and coordination. Regular practice can enhance proprioception, spatial awareness, and overall balance skills.
  • Increased energy and vitality: Engaging in regular Pilates sessions can boost energy levels and overall vitality. The combination of physical movement, focused breathing, and mental engagement can leave you feeling invigorated and rejuvenated.
  • ​Body sculpting and toning: Pilates can help sculpt and tone the body, particularly the core, arms, legs, and glutes. The exercises target specific muscle groups, leading to improved muscle definition and overall body toning.
In summary. . .
Pilates provides a comprehensive approach to physical fitness and well-being, offering benefits such as core strength, flexibility, improved body awareness, injury prevention, and stress reduction. Its emphasis on the mind-body connection makes it a popular choice for individuals seeking a holistic approach to exercise and overall health.

Find Your Movement Freedom
Wherever you are in your movement journey, we will elevate your practice in a safe and enjoyable way!

When you go home  . . . 

My goal for you . . .
Whether you are already a current student of mine, or you’ve learned about it from someone who is, my goal is to come alongside your wellness journey. My goal is whether you have years or experience in Pilates or completely your brand new, that this time in Bali will elevate your practice and help you connect to your body in greater ways. I’m a huge believer in taking the time to slow down, step away, put the phone down, and enjoy the life in front of you. 

For some of us, getting out of our normal routine and out of our usual environments is the perfect way to begin that process. Fueling our body with healthy and fresh food and getting lots of sunshine will help kickstart a lifestyle and an awareness that I plan to equip you to take home with you when you go!

I invite you to embark on a transformative adventure with me. This retreat will be an opportunity to step away from the pressures of daily life, connect with nature, and delve deeper into our passions and aspirations. It will be a time of self-discovery, personal growth, and rejuvenation. So, let us seize this chance to escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. 

Come join me on this unforgettable retreat, where we will create bonds that go beyond the classroom and embark on a journey of a lifetime. Together, let us embrace adventure, expand our horizons, and create memories that will forever shape who we are. I cannot wait to share this experience with each and every one of you.

With excitement and anticipation,
Layah.
