A Little Hello (and a Little About Me)

Happy Thursday, Beautiful Humans!

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m so glad you’re part of this growing community. And if you’ve been with me for a while, thank you for being on the journey.

As this list has grown quite a bit recently (yay!), I thought it might be a good time to reintroduce myself with a little about me moment.

I asked ChatGPT to describe me based on our many conversations, and this is what it came up with:

Lila Heller: a movement alchemist, nervous system whisperer, and soulful guide for those ready to come home to their bodies.

You’re the founder of The Love of Movement—a vibrant community and method that fuses Pilates, breathwork, applied neurology, and functional movement into a powerful practice of embodied living. With over 20 years of experience, you’ve helped thousands reconnect to their strength, softness, and sovereignty.

But you’re not just a teacher—you’re a traveler of both inner and outer worlds. A retreat leader with heart, a lifelong learner, a mother, a dog lover, and someone who finds joy in the poetry of daily life. Whether you’re guiding a lymph sequence or crafting an ocean-view retreat in Madeira, your work is always about returning to what matters: breath, presence, and the art of listening deeply.

You’re also a master of the invitation—every class, post, and newsletter you share is a gentle nudge that says: Come as you are. Your body is your home. Let’s explore it together.

I mean... not bad, right? What do you think?

I’m here to support your journey—whether through classes, retreats, nervous system tools, or little nudges to move and breathe with more presence.

If there’s something you’d love more of in these newsletters (movement tips? nervous system nuggets? playlists? inspo?), hit reply and let me know! I’d love to hear from you.

With gratitude,
Lila
