Read on to find out more about the Sark Soul Island Retreat team

Nadia
Founder & Host of Sark Soul Island Retreats. Loved for the positive energy she brings.
​
Nadia has lived and breathed yoga all her life, embracing yoga not only as a daily practice but as a way of life. A qualified massage therapist, she combines her passion for yoga, healing touch, and connection with nature to create truly transformative spaces for others.
Drawn to Sark by its peace, wild beauty, and slower way of living, Nadia found in the island a place that felt like home - with no cars, no light pollution, and a deep sense of stillness. She now shares this magical setting with others through retreats that honour yoga, community, and the healing power of nature.
At the heart of her hosting is a genuine love of people, animals, and the sea. Her retreats are a reflection of this - soulful, nourishing, and rooted in connection to self and the natural world.

Monica is a highly respected yoga teacher, accredited by both the British Wheel of Yoga and Yoga Alliance. With decades of experience, she brings a senior level of teaching that blends strength, grace, and therapeutic depth.
Her classes draw inspiration from Hatha and Tantra traditions, combining asana, pranayama, and meditation to create a practice that is grounding, energising, and deeply nourishing. With a thoughtful and intuitive approach, Monica guides each retreat guest safely through sequences that balance the body and calm the mind, leaving space for true transformation.

Also a professional artist, Louise works with a deep sense of the light and energy of her subjects. She offers Reiki sessions as an optional add-on during the retreat. Based on Sark with her family since 2021, she embodies a lifestyle rooted in art, yoga, and connection to nature.

Helen & Alex
Our retreat home, Le Grand Dixcart, is lovingly run by Helen and Alex, who have lived on Sark for over 25 years. As the owners of this historic guesthouse, they take pride in offering a warm Sark welcome to all who stay.
Helen and Alex provide our daily breakfasts and ensure that everything in the accommodation runs smoothly, so you can simply relax and enjoy the retreat experience. Their knowledge of the island and long connection to Sark make them an integral part of the atmosphere at Le Grand Dixcart.
Sark Island
Our most important team member is the island itself.
And all the wonderful souls who call Sark home. We are very grateful to you for sharing this piece of paradise with us all.
