Tarifa sits at the southern tip of Europe where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean — kitesurfing capital, strong yoga scene, and just 14km from Africa. Tarifa has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well.
