husma Retreats was founded by Alex & Martina while running their own yoga, meditation & breathwork retreat centre on the beach in Sri Lanka (Green Peace Inn - Yoga | Health | Retreats) for over 8 years. The intention behind creating a new project was to make it more international, to bring their retreats to other countries, and to have a stronger focus on life-changing breathwork and yoga practices. All their knowledge from holding various retreats and completing training courses from around the world comes together in husma retreats. 

In Sinhala (the native language in Sri Lanka), husma means  "breath", which is the core focus of all husma retreats.
