🗓 25th May – 1st June – Yoga Retreat with horse activities











Come as you are — and leave feeling lighter, centered, and renewed.
Join us at Secret Gili Islands Retreats for a week of movement, stillness, and soul-deep connection.
→ Reserve your spot and begin your journey toward calm and clarity.


Each day at Secret Gili Islands YOGA Retreat unfolds gently. Mornings begin with mindfull meditation and yoga on the ocean-view Yoga platform, where sunlight filters through the jungle canopy and the sound of waves sets the rhythm for your breath. Afternoons invite exploration — snorkeling through coral gardens, hiking island trails, receiving a massage or simply swaying in a hammock as the world slows down.
Evenings are soft and grounding, with guided meditations, slow, restorative sunset yoga, and nourishing meals prepared with care. Every moment is designed to help you reconnect to yourself, unplug from the fast pace of modern life, and rediscover a simpler way of being.


Our 6-day retreat is a balance of movement, stillness, and adventure. Begin your mornings with yoga on the ocean-view Yoga platform, surrounded by jungle sounds and the gentle sea breeze.
In the afternoons, you’ll be invited to connect deeply with our island horses — through a liberty lesson that fosters trust and communication, a guided horse walk along the beach, and a massage experience surrounded by these graceful animals. Between moments of connection, explore coral reefs, hike the nearby hills, or simply unwind in the calm rhythm of island life.
Evenings slow down with restorative yoga during sunset, and nourishing meals shared under the stars.
Every moment is designed to help you reconnect — with yourself, with nature, and with the quiet wisdom of the islands horses.

Verified Yoga Teacher
Growing up with a grandmother who is still a yoga teacher, Cilia was immersed in yoga from an early age. In 2018, she traveled to India to deepen her practice, completing over 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training (YTT 500 hr +) and studying traditional forms of yoga.
Her teaching bridges ancient yogic wisdom with modern science, guiding students to connect body, mind, and breath through asana, pranayama, and meditation. Her intention is to make yoga accessible to everyone—regardless of flexibility or experience—while encouraging students to enjoy, reconnect to themselves, and keep growing on their journey.
Cilia teaches Hatha/Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Nidra, and has fallen in love with the peaceful island of Gili Asahan, where she now serves as our full-time resident yoga teacher.
Her calm presence and heartfelt guidance invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the joy of being.

Horse Trainer
Since childhood, horses have always held a special place in my heart, but for many years my dream of being with them felt out of reach.
One day, I realized that nothing was stopping me anymore — and I took myself to my first riding lesson. I was overjoyed, until I discovered that the horse world wasn’t what I had imagined: horses were controlled, confined, and rarely allowed to be free. I felt something was deeply wrong.
I wanted to understand horses, not dominate them — to build a real relationship, not control. Searching for that, I discovered a different path — one built on trust, respect, and freedom of choice. It changed everything. I moved over 1,000 kilometers to study this approach and became a Liberty Horse Trainer, learning to connect with horses through presence, body language, and true partnership.
Now I live on Gili Asahan, where I share this philosophy through sessions with our free-roaming horses. I guide people to experience connection — with a horse, with nature, and with themselves.
When a horse chooses to stay not because it must, but because it wants to — it awakens something profound within.
Free horses teach us what true freedom feels like.
