What is Anima?

Anima Retreats was born from a longing, to slow down, to reconnect, and to remember who we are beneath the layers of everyday life.

Our name comes from the Latin word anima, meaning soul, breath, life-force, and that’s exactly what we aim to nourish. Through thoughtfully curated retreats around the world, we offer sacred pauses in nature, guided by movement, stillness, and community.

 Whether it’s your first retreat or your fifteenth, Anima is a space to come back to yourself, with intention. Here, we create space not just to rest, but to access the deeper wisdom of our higher self.

Yoga

 At Anima, yoga is more than a practice, it is a pathway inward. Each retreat offers long, spacious practices where time expands, and there’s no rush to arrive. Through breath, movement, meditation, and stillness, we explore the layers of the self and begin to unlock higher states of awareness. This is not about perfect poses, it’s about presence, healing, and remembering. 

Nature

Each retreat begins with a question: where can nature hold us best? We seek out wild, awe-inspiring landscapes that awaken the senses and quiet the mind. From lush jungles and private islands to mountain sanctuaries and starlit skies, nature is not a background — it is the grounding presence that holds us. It reminds us to slow down, to listen, and to return to the rhythm of something greater than ourselves.

Community

In a world that often moves fast and stays surface-level, we long for spaces that feel real. At Anima, we create space for honest conversation, shared laughter, deep silence, and everything in between. There is something deeply healing about being in a room where nothing needs fixing — where your thoughts, your emotions, your story are met with openness. Here, you’re not expected to be anything other than yourself. Through community, we remember that healing happens together.

Estefa creates retreats that are a
true haven for yoga enthusiasts!

I had the chance to join her latest retreat in Thailand and her expertise and guidance throughout were exceptional! She skillfully led us through a variety of yoga styles and breathwork techniques allowing us to deepen our practice. The retreat offered workshops on meditation, mindfulness, and self-care which added a holistic touch to the experience.”

The attention you put into all details of the retreat and the way you guided us is incredible and I hope more and more people will have the opportunity to meet you and experience what we did this week together!
