Our Story
Lu'ma Wellbeing is a premium international retreat company operating at the intersection of adventure, wellness, and high performance.
We design and deliver three distinct retreat experiences — spiritually led yoga and mindfulness retreats, performance-driven fitness retreats built around Pilates, HIIT, and strength training, and bespoke corporate wellness programmes for forward-thinking companies.
Curiosity is at the core of everything we do. Curiosity about land, culture, connection, and the human capacity to expand. It's what moves our guests beyond the familiar; into landscapes, experiences, and versions of themselves they didn't know existed.
Her Story
Claire Anderson lives by one principle: movement is medicine. She has taught yoga for over ten years, in some of the UK and USA's leading studios, and is equally at home teaching Pilates and functional movement. She is a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in California, specialising in pelvic health.
LU'MA Wellbeing was born from her belief that the most transformative experiences happen when you leave the familiar behind. An avid traveller, Claire curates nurturing spaces in far off places, allowing guests to completely immerse themselves in new countries and cultures.
Movement for her has always lived between two worlds — the science and the spiritual; soft somatic movement and lively workouts. Most retreat companies ask you to pick a lane. Claire and LU'MA wellbeing want to embrace both.
The name is drawn from ancient languages; Lum meaning Earth; We seek to provide you with experiences that show you the true beauty the world has to offer. It is important to us to give back to the lands we walk upon and with that, a percentage of each spot booked on retreat will go back towards grassroots projects in the area the retreat is being held. The word Luma as a whole also has roots in the Latin word meaning light. Our retreats are specially created for you to find space and ground into the present, to shed the heaviness of day-to-day life often placed upon us. It is an opportunity for you not only to feel lighter but to discover your own inner light once more, through Yoga, movement, breathwork, ancient healing practices and connecting to like minded faces and places.
