Yoga retreats in Sri Lanka
Nearly a decade of creating intimate retreats in Sri Lanka — spaces for movement, reflection, connection, and coming home to yourself.
“Thank you for the wonderful time with the guidance. Everything was just right. I came to calm down and enjoy. That’s what I did, from the bottom of my heart!”
“Thank you for the wonderful weekend. My first, but certainly not the last retreat in silence! The guidance was professional and knowledgeable, permissive and natural.”
”It is incredible how seamlessly Anna-Mari has brought music into your guidance. The music is absolutely top notch! You clearly have a gift that you use for the benefit of the rest of us.”

For the woman standing at the threshold of change.
For when you long to feel more deeply connected to your own inner cycles.

Through yoga, meditation, myths and gentle rituals, we create space for insight, creativity, and a renewed connection with yourself.
We will stay at Kurulu Bay, a Michelin Key-awarded boutique hotel internationally recognised for its exceptional sense of place, design and hospitality.
All bodies and experience levels are welcome — including pregnant women.
For you who are moving through a transition in your life, or simply longing for the space to hear the quiet voice of your own heart.

The Inner Compass –
Values, dreams & a new beginning in Sri Lanka
2–8 January 2027
A gentle wellness retreat for you who long to pause, reconnect with yourself, and begin the new year guided by your own values and dreams.
Welcome to start the New Year on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.
During the week, we will step away from the pressure to constantly achieve and instead create space to listen inward through gentle yoga, pilates, reformer pilates, meditation, and guided writing practices.
We will also explore our personal values, because they serve as a compass towards a life that feels meaningful and truly our own.
Together, we will clarify what we genuinely want to invite into the year ahead and create an intention rooted in what truly matters to us.
Suitable for all bodies and genders — including beginners and pregnant participants.
Come exactly as you are.
This retreat is for you if you want to deepen your connection with yourself, gain clarity around your values, and begin the new year in a more peaceful and conscious way.
No need for previous experience, come as you are.

Dharma
– The Soul’s Purpose retreat
(Beginner-friendly)
15–22 January 2027
For when you want to clarify your sense of purpose and invite more meaning into your life.
Sometimes life looks perfectly fine from the outside, yet a quiet question begins to arise within:
“Is this really the life I want to live?”
The Dharma Retreat offers you the space to pause and sit with that question.
Through yoga, meditation, writing practices, and guided reflection, you will explore your values, desires, and the next steps you want to take.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You only need to be willing to listen to yourself.
The peaceful surroundings of Sri Lanka create space to notice what the busyness of everyday life can easily drown out.
Many participants return home with more than beautiful memories — with a clearer sense of direction, the courage to make changes, and a deeper trust in their own inner voice.
This retreat is for you if you are at a turning point in your life or simply longing for clarity about what you truly want.
“I attended my first Anna-Mari’s Sri Lanka retreat in the spring of 2023, which was a life-changing experience. Anna-Mari’s magical guidance, captivating writing exercises, and the magnificent nature of Sri Lanka made me dive into the depths of my soul.”
“I admire your way of combining teaching through so many senses and channels. Stories, myths and words speak to the mind and soul. Movement speaks to the body and the whole being. Scents, music – reinforce the information coming through the senses, smell and hearing also get involved. Self-compassion is strongly present in you, as is trust in the cyclical nature of life, living in its waves. A truly feminine way of being and teaching – that’s exactly what the world and we humans need.”
