Restoration
What restoration actually means, and what a week here gives you.
A retreat should leave you more restored than when you arrived. This is what that actually means: why ordinary holidays often do not manage it, what Sark adds, what the week is like day to day, and where yoga fits into all of it.

What you eat on a Sark Soul retreat

Yoga is part of the week, not the reason you have to come

What is the best place in the world to do yoga?
