Hi! I'm Lila 

— movement alchemist, nervous system guide, and founder of The Love of Movement. I grew up in a small town in Southern Oregon, where summers were spent barefoot by the river and meals came from our garden. My parents raised me close to the earth—rooted in spirituality, simplicity, and a deep respect for the natural rhythms of life. That early connection to body and nature became the foundation for my life’s work.  

"All the body, all the time." 

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve guided thousands of people back home to themselves—through movement practices that weave together Pilates, breathwork, applied neurology, and functional flow to support the whole nervous system. Recently, I moved through a healing crisis that deepened everything I thought I knew. It reminded me—viscerally—that true well-being means caring for the body, the mind, and the spirit. Slowing down. Listening in. Letting softness lead. Whether I’m teaching a class, leading a retreat, or creating something for my online library, my intention is always the same: to help you feel stronger, softer, and more connected to the wisdom already living inside you. I’m based in the Bay Area, a proud mama and dog lover, and forever a student of movement, healing, and this wild, beautiful life. I’m so glad you’re here.

"Lila’s knowledge of the body and movement is truly remarkable. I’ve worked with her for over 10 years - in group classes, on retreats, and in weekly one-on-one sessions. In every setting, her passion and love for her work is as obvious as it is inspiring. She’s helped me work through chronic back and leg pain, shown me how to optimize my strength training and cardio workouts by incorporating focused breathwork, and motivated me to develop a daily exercise routine that incorporates neuro work, breath exercises, and Pilates movements. More importantly, she’s helped me realize that growing older doesn’t have to mean “more pain” or “more discomfort.” Our bodies seek balance and Lila’s given me vital tools to assist in moving towards achieving that balance each and every day."

The Love of Movement Membership

The Love of Movement Community is the culmination of my 20 years of studying mind-body practices—including Pilates, Yoga, Breathwork, and Applied Neurology—woven together with my deep experience working with individual clients.

Designed for both beginners and experienced movers, my approach helps you retrain habitual movement patterns and shift how you engage with the world. When we move and breathe better, we feel better. Through NeuroFusion classes that blend the latest brain science with mobility, mindful strength, and playful exploration, you’ll enhance confidence, posture, balance, and overall well-being.

The Love of Movement Community is a dynamic, eye-opening experience (literally!) that shows meaningful transformation is possible at any age and ability. By integrating the physical, the spiritual, and the intelligence of the nervous system into accessible, joyful practices, I invite you to move through life with more ease, energy, and enthusiasm. 

By joining this community, you’ll connect with others who share a passion for movement and holistic health. Through live sessions, workshops, retreats, and online discussions, we learn from one another’s experiences and celebrate each other’s progress. I’m committed to providing a welcoming environment where members can explore, experiment, and cultivate resilience, joy, and physical freedom—together.

“I tell my friends Lila must have been a sorceress in her past life. Within six months of working with her my limp, pain and limited range of motion in my knee became a thing of the past. She is an exceptional teacher.”
