Our LifeWorks Story & Mission

LifeWorks Studio was founded by Ilana Siegal in 2013 with a vision of creating more than just a yoga or dance studio. Ilana imagined a welcoming space where people could move, heal, grow, and connect—a place where making your life work feels truly possible.

Rooted in Ilana’s extensive background in yoga, Pilates, dance, bodywork, and personal development, LifeWorks offers a full spectrum of mind-body wellness programs designed to support all levels and life stages. Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to deepen your practice, there's a place here for you.

At LifeWorks Studio, we offer:

• Group yoga, dance, and strength-building classes

• Private and semi-private yoga and yoga therapy sessions

• A somatic therapist available for one-on-one sessions, offering gentle, body-centered support through some of life’s harder burdens

• A 13-week Creative Practice Workshop, a deep dive into the building blocks of a more creative life—designed not just for artists, writers, or musicians, but for anyone seeking more meaning, inspiration, or creative flow

• Special workshops throughout the year

• Community programs like our weekly parents group, Doula Collective, childbirth education, family connection events, and a lending library of baby gear

Each offering is designed to meet you where you are—with compassion, challenge, and care.

In addition to our local programs, we host a two-week retreat in Costa Rica each year. This immersive experience brings together a group of adults and teens to reset, recharge, and reconnect through movement, mindfulness, and community—all set against the backdrop of lush tropical beauty.

At LifeWorks, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of radical self-care in the Berkshires and beyond. We welcome all bodies, all levels of ability, and all people who are curious about living more fully.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up—and we’ll meet you there.
