OUR FOUNDER | LUCY HILL

Lucy Hill founded Chaya Yoga Retreats in 2011, with two dear friends, who were looking to create beautiful, holistic experiences - and share their passion for travel and ancient healing practices.

Lucy’s professional roots lie in creative event production, but her personal path led her toward a more intentional and integrative way of living. What began as a search for balance, grew into a decades-deep commitment to holistic healing, spiritual enquiry, and the art of creating spaces that truly restore and reconnect.

Now based in Ibiza, Lucy brings over 15 years of immersion in modalities such as yoga, meditation, plant medicines, reiki, tantra, life coaching, intuitive facilitation, and holistic nutrition. Her work synthesises these practices to meet each client or group exactly where they are - emotionally, physically, and energetically. And always with love.

She is known for her intuitive clarity, deep listening, and the ability to hold space that is both nurturing and transformative. Lucy’s work consistently invites people back to a place of inner coherence, self-trust, and joyful embodiment.

“We can’t walk the path for each other, but we can walk together.
I deeply believe in the power of community as a healing force. It’s a missing link in modern life — many of us have forgotten how to be together as a tribe.

Retreats offer a powerful antidote. They are sacred spaces for shared experience, for being witnessed, for remembering who we are — as family, and as part of nature itself.” Lucy Hill

OUR TEAM

We collaborate with an inspiring network of talented teachers and practitioners from around the world, across a wide range of disciplines. Each one is carefully selected and thoughtfully matched to the unique intention and theme of each retreat.

What unites everyone we work with is a deeply heart-led approach - the genuine desire to share their personal journey, wisdom and practices with our guests. It's one of the many reasons our retreats feel so special and deeply authentic. And in honesty - we love each other! Which is why for many, it feels like a home-coming. And hence, we call ourselves ‘The Chaya Family’.

If you're a teacher and feel called to collaborate with us, we’d love to hear from you.
