Ayla Wilde

Ayla Wilde
Owner/Yoga Teacher


I’m 28, I’ve been practicing yoga since I was 15 & teaching it since I was 21. 

I never wanted to work for myself (ironic, right?) but have always felt a strong pull to help others – and what better a way to do that than running retreats, sharing what I’ve learned and grown through over the years.

Over the last 7 years I’ve taught: power, gentle, seniors, mens, mums + bubs, kids, teens, and hot yoga in studios, at charity events, for a wine label, on retreats, for sporting clubs, for an online studio, zoom, at gyms and home visits for 1:1.

There’s lots on this website about me, my teaching and my story, so if you want to know more click here.

Frani Wilde

Frani Wilde
Physiotherapist/Yoga Teacher/Ayurvedic Practitioner

Physiotherapist of 35+ years, a yoga teacher, meditation teacher, yoga therapist, yoga tutor + mentor, yoga teacher trainer, soon to be Ayurveda health coach & does one on one personal coaching (among many other wonderful things).

She is incredibly inspiring, passionate, insightful, kind, knowledgeable, empathetic, bubbly & motivated, and the kind of person you want around you and in your life.

I feel so proud & lucky to be able to share my career with her as my mentor, my colleague and my mum.

Danielle Keast
Photographer/Videographer

Dani + I have been best friends since we first met on our first day of boarding school in year 11.

She’s one of the best people you’ll ever meet (in my non-biased opinion).

She’s there on my retreats, capturing the whole experience in a very non-invasive way, so you can have memories of the experience and not feel like you need to spend much time on your phone (if that’s what you want). Besides taking photos though, she’s extremely kind, generous, and knowledgable about sailing, life and everything in between. I am so grateful to be able to share this experience with her.

This retreat is the ultimate experience of sailing in the Whitsundays, yoga on the beach, meeting incredible people and replenishing your soul. I loved every second of it and can’t wait to go back 🙏 Thank you Ayla and Frani

I have just spent the past four days sailing around the Whitsundays with beautiful like minded women. It was the most amazing thing I have done for my body and soul in years. Ayla & Franni are a wonderful team and dedicated yogis who led our yoga practices to the point where you were completely absorbed. The crew of the Broomstick were brilliant, preparing our delicious vegan meals and catering to our needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend A Wilde Life and Prosail to anyone! ♥️

Words can’t describe how amazing this beautiful lady is and the heart and soul she puts into her retreats. This is hands down the best retreat I have been on. Four days of sailing, snorkelling, yoga, hiking and adventure catering for all fitness levels. Amazing friendly crew that know the best secret locations around the Whitsundays. Food was also incredibly delicious and healthy. Loved loved loved this trip.

Embark on an incredibly beautiful transformative journey with Ayla and Frani! The yoga and sailing retreat was a unique experience for me to discover new yoga and meditation practices in the very magical Whitsundays islands while connecting with a beautifully intergenerational and inclusive group of people. The sense of community, the content and science behind each practice, and the flow of each day was just perfect. Each yoga, meditation, snorkeling, and waking spots handpicked by Ayla were absolutely stunning. The Prosail crew also did a fantastic job at making our stay safe and smooth with very abundant yummy food. Add to this an awesome photographer, Dani, who managed to discretely capture the beauty of every moment and people, while connecting with us. I am honestly forever grateful for this amazing experience and I cannot wait to join the next retreat in Bali or the Whitsundays with these beautiful souls!

Words can't evan describe how amazing this trip was. The food was incredible. The crew were incredible, there is so much to do and it's all so beautiful. I met the most amazing women that I will never forget and I learnt so much about stillness, self worth and the beauty that life has to offer. It really was so magical. Ayla and frannie are the most beautiful souls and they just always make your heart so full of love. I highly recommend this trip. You get to see the reefs, the sunrise, the sunset, the mountains, the ocean and all mother nature has to offer. It's truly incredible. I dare you to book a trip, because I know your going to have such an extraordinary time 🙌🏻
