Meet Anna Rickmann
Yoga and Somatic Movement Facilitator • Sound Meditation Guide • Thai Massage Practitioner • Cacao Circle Facilitator
Hi I'm Anna.
I’m a somatic movement teacher, ocean lover, and facilitator of experiences that reconnect people to their bodies, to nature, and to a deeper sense of belonging. My work blends science and embodied wisdom, drawing from my academic background in marine and environmental fields alongside practices like yoga, breathwork, and somatics.
In my 20’s I have spent most of my free time outside in nature, traveling Europe in my van, following the waves, before finally settling in Portugal. That's why I’ve developed a strong sensitivity to the relationship between inner and outer ecosystems, which shapes the retreats I co-create: spaces where movement, stillness, and nature come together to support both personal growth and collective connection.
Whether through surfing, mindful movement, or shared moments in nature, my intention is to create experiences that feel grounding, expansive, and remind you that you are alive right now.
"Your breath knows the way. You just have to start listening."

I don't think there is a favorite way to move, the body loves and benefits from moving in as many different ways as possible. But generally, anything in the water is definitely where I thrive but I also love to move my body in different ways on land: from yoga over weights in the gym to biking. And of course: dance!

When a group of grown-up women found their inner playfulness again and created this huge sand castle on the beach, being immersed in their activity for hours. When an old man who was walking along the beach, reached the wall of that castle that was extending across the beach from our towels to the water line, he politely asked if he could cross it and as they said no he just grinned and turned around. A few moments later he returned and offered a beautiful shell that he had found for the castle as decoration.

Madeira, the European Hawaii. A perfect mix between hiking lush green mountains and surfing, diving, swimming in crystal clear waters.
