Sama Yoga Retreat with Sky Akasha
Join us in an Autumn Sama yoga retreat in the amazing coast of Tarifa (South Spain) with Sky.
This retreat is designed to deepen one in all aspects of Yoga. Each class is rich with life wisdom and subtle alignment.
The movements are quite easy to learn, moving from classical Hatha Yoga poses to the magic flow of the asana, and balanced with stillness which helps to release a lifetime of holding patterns in the nervous system. Additionally, we will learn about Marma Points (similar to the acupressure points in Shiatsu), Ayurveda and chanting mantras.
The Yoga Classes are supported by guided meditation and short but important talks.
You will enjoy these unique yoga classes in a fully equipped yoga shala.
We will learn a lot! We will come away with tools to take care of ourselves and enhance our current Yoga practice and lifestyle.
Last year those who wished, learned a longer mantra as a great take away and life-long blessing.
All Levels are welcome, even beginners will find the movements, with some variations, accessible, while more experienced students will definitely appreciate the depth and uniqueness of the Sama Yoga style.
The daily program will be enriched with trips to the most special natural places and trekkings out of the turistic tracks, organized with care and love, to allow us integrate the practice in nature and discover the beauty of this beautiful region of Spain without having to plan, prepare, think how to reach each spot.
We will also have time for resting in a unique and luxurious villa with incredible views to Africa, and be delighted with vegetarian and vegan, organic cuisine, prepared with love by an experienced chef in healthy eating.
IMPORTANT: The retreat is in Tarifa (Andalucía, South Spain)
13-18th October 2025
Duration: 7 days/6 nights.
Location and Accommodation
We will stay in a majestic large villa at 8km from bohemian Tarifa and its wonderful beaches, in the province of Cádiz, Southern Spain.
A 700m2 built house, set in the middle of stunning grounds in a plot of 7,500m2, not overlooked by anyone. A secluded paradise that will become your house for a week.
Located at the starting point of the Costa de La Luz (the coast of Light), the property itself looks directly down a valley, to the nearby ocean and the north-african coast, which is only 14km away. It has indeed the most amazing views in the area. You will feel like you can almost touch Africa in front of you!
The area is surrounded by Los Alcornacales National Park, a preserved and unique natural space, which makes it a beautiful, unspoilt and tranquil place.
The villa was refurbished, including a total renovation of all the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen, in 2019, preserving the Spanish traditional arquitecture and some of the wooden antique furnitures.
It has a fully equipped indoor yoga room, a salty swimming – pool, an infrared sauna, large gardens, indoor and outdoor dinning rooms and many beautiful outdoor spaces for chill, relax and meditate.
You will feel at home, with a very familiar athmosphere and the perfect balance of privacy, relaxation, silence and beauty.
The food is first class, delicious, organic, local and seasonal, cooked by specialized chefs in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, especially hired for the this retreat.
We will explore the beautiful nature in the area. There are excellent walking routes, and many beaches to choose from, starting at the doorstep of Tarifa and going all the way up to Cádiz. Local favorites are Punta Paloma and Bolonia.
