Yoga Laila

It was the total package that made it a very special and amazing retreat! The entire setting made me get closer to myself.

Laila is such a warm and genuine person, she made everybody feel included and comfortable. She created wonderful practices that were easy to follow (but with great mental and physical impact). Her professional experience and personality made all elements of the retreat come together.

The location was also amazing; great people who run the hotel, lovely hotel rooms, amazing views, easy walk into the village and beaches and beautiful thermal pools to enjoy after yoga sessions.

Thank you Laila for this amazing week, I will definitely join one of your retreats again!

Laila is an exceptional teacher. She help 20 people of varied experience and took us on a journey where we explored Qi Gong, Somatics and yes some traditional Hatha yoga, in a fun and inclusive way.

Beautiful location on ischia! My room looked out onto the sea. Yoga was restorative in the evening and invigorating in the morning. The food was delicious even though I’m not vegetarian. Lovely pastas, vegetables, cheeses all homemade. I would do it again! Everything went smoothly and I felt welcome as a solo traveler.

This New Year's yoga retreat came together in such a balanced and harmonious way, that it left all of us, who started as strangers, feeling connected, relaxed, and like we had known each other forever. Everything was on spot the transfers, venue, food, massage, organized hikes etc. and especially yoga practice. It was very well balanced (active and restorative part) and left us enough space to explore ourselves on what is truly needed in the moment. I returned home with relaxed, refreshed and inspired. I loved the small ritual which we did with Laila on the turn of the year, letting go of the old and setting intentions for the time to come. Hope to have the chance soon to join another Laila's retreat.

I was particularly surprised and delighted at how much I loved Laila's yoga sessions, as I had no idea what to expect. She presented with such intuition, sensitivity and also with a flowing dance like quality guided by her soft and mesmeric voice. I have taken away some really useful movements and techniques to try and de-computerise my body !

I also loved the location, a huge space to ourselves and great to have access to a pool and an area to have a massage or a hamam. The yoga room was nicely situated and had been beautifully designed and built in keeping with local materials. There was a lovely atmosphere created by Laila and also all the people based there - very relaxed and welcoming. In addition, all the food, without exception was very creative, delicious and had amazing flavours and they kindly worked around my banana intolerance, thank you, Anne-Gialle !

All in all an excellent week - I would highly recommend the yoga, the location and the food.

I had a very good time during this week. Expecially the yoga with Laila was extremely good. She is a very nice and experienced teacher and showed me a completly new way to practise yoga which I can also bring in my everyday life. I am grateful for this experience. Also the Riad in Marocco was beautiful with the pool, the small spa and the nice yoga room. Especially the high quality of the food was super. Thank you to you all. I had a lovely week!

Laïla is a wonderful, warm hearted human being and an amazing teacher. I love listing to her voice and her gentle way of teaching. For me as a beginner the pace was perfect. Now I feel more home in my body again. The Riad aux deux mondes was a great place, wonderful food, a lot of activities and a fantastic host, Anne-Gaëlle, who was also giving us a little cosmetic workshop. The group was great and we had a lot of fun. This will certainly not be my last retreat with Laïla.

The yoga retreat was excellent with a brilliant instructor Laila. She was personable, friendly and motivational in her yoga training. A pleasure to have been part of this event 🧘‍♀️💕🧘‍♂️

I can’t speak highly enough of this retreat. The setting of Club Scanella is remarkable, built on the edge of the sea and serviced by numerous natural thermal pools. But it is the yoga which is makes this retreat so special. Laila is a really extraordinary teacher as she brings her own unique understanding and approach to the yoga experience. I am not new to yoga but I feel that after this week I have learnt so much that I can integrate into my own practice going forward. The retreat was really well organised and Laila made sure we were all well supported for the week. The other participants were all so friendly and interesting it really has been a memorable experience. I highly recommend this retreat - and will be back for more!

This was my first retreat with Laila and I am very delighted! The yoga was great, very nicely tailored and I enjoyed every session. Laila gives yoga special touch and helped me to connect with yoga & myself again. The place was also very nicely selected and all well organized. Stairs were challenge but at least you could balance all the nice meals that Pietro and his staff prepared for us daily 😃. Hot spring in pool is great bonus really appreciated during colder days. Massimos massage was also nicely tailored based on needs and you could feel, he is very experienced! For sure plan to come back again.

Art zu sein und yoga zu unterrichten

Laila is a highly experienced yoga teacher. Her methods are both gentle and challenging, her tone encouraging. She has a great sense of humour. This was the best yoga experience I have ever had. Why I particularly liked was the thought Laila he put into our yoga sessions. Traditional yoga poses were there and she had added so Qi Gong movements which are

wonderful for loosening stiff muscles and also has her own take on some yoga ‘truths’. In other words, prepare to be practising some new and highly beneficial moves. The food offered by the hotel venue was out of this world. Our group of wonderful women - a big plus this, such an interesting and adventurous gathering from many continents - rushed down to breakfast after our morning yoga for the delicious buffet and bottomless tea and coffee and were even more keen to get to dinner. There was always fresh fish caught by the owner Pierre and his cousin Giovanni, and complemented with a different pasta every night, and fresh vegetables. And if you had room, home made desserts. Only wine and water were not included. Laila’s partner, lovely Massimo, provided bodywork and his massages were pronounced excellent by everyone who tried them.One was included in the holiday price. Ischia provides enough things to do during the day when yogis are free. A visit to one of the thermal water parks is a must. Ischia is a beautiful island and May a wonderful season for

Wild flowers and wether that is sunny but not yet too hot. Rush to book up!

Laila is such a wonderful, inspirational teacher and Scanella a stunning venue

Laila is a wonderful teacher and human. The yoga practice and nature setting provided time for reflection, desolve muscle memory and create a balanced life. I shall carry this experience forward into my daily life. Best gift I have ever given mysel. From the moment your feet touch the ground you felt at home. The staff is kind, supportive and always accommodating.

The way Laila taught, the contents and program of the retreat, her tireless efforts in helping everyone get settled, feel comfortable and part of the group, arrange extra-curriculars down to ordering birthday cakes!!!
