Sandra Lillo
Welcome to IKI- Waiking Yoga Retreat
My name is Sandra, I am based in Spain and I am looking forward to meeting you.
Teaching yoga is not just a job for me, but a deep passion that I have nurtured over the years. With 3 years of experience in aerial yoga, I have honed my skills and expertise in this dynamic practice. A couple of years ago, I pursued my Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in a renowned school in Bali to further enhance my knowledge and prepare for the next stage of my yoga journey.
In addition to aerial yoga, I have also delved into teaching vinyasa yoga in the past few years. By expanding the number of classes I conduct each week, I have been able to share the transformative power of yoga with a larger community. Teaching is a profoundly meaningful experience for me, as I find immense joy in guiding others through their practice and witnessing their growth.
At IKI- Waiking Yoga Retreat, I am thrilled to bring together my expertise in aerial and vinyasa yoga to create an unforgettable experience for our guests. I look forward to sharing the beauty of these practices with you, helping you deepen your practice, and guiding you on a transformative journey during your 7-day retreat in Bali.
Valeria
Welcome to IKI- Waiking Yoga Retreat
Hi everyone! I'm Valeria, a passionate yoga instructor dedicated to sharing the transformative power of yoga with others. My journey in yoga has taken me on a beautiful path spanning across Italy, India, and Spain, where I've immersed myself in the rich traditions and teachings of this ancient practice.
With a diverse background in hatha, yin, and vinyasa yoga, I bring a holistic approach to my teachings. Each style offers unique benefits, and I love weaving them together to create well-rounded, dynamic classes that cater to the diverse needs of my students.
One aspect of teaching that I truly cherish is the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. This experience has been incredibly enriching, allowing me to adapt and personalize my practices to suit the individual needs and abilities of each student. Whether I'm guiding a group of beginners or seasoned practitioners, my goal is always the same: to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing space where everyone feels supported to explore and grow in their practice.
Central to my teaching philosophy is the belief that yoga is not just about the physical postures, but also about cultivating a deeper connection with oneself and the world around us. I strive to infuse each session with mindfulness, breath awareness, and self-compassion, fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and non-judgment. My aim is to empower my students to journey inward, to let go of tension and resistance, and to discover the inherent strength, peace, and wisdom that reside within them.
Outside of the studio, you'll often find me exploring nature, indulging in creative pursuits, or simply enjoying moments of quiet reflection. These experiences inspire and inform my teaching, reminding me of the importance of balance, presence, and gratitude in both yoga and life.
In essence, my mission as a yoga instructor is to guide and support others on their path to greater health, happiness, and self-discovery. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share this sacred practice with each and every one of you, and I look forward to embarking on this journey together.
