The island sits about seven miles east of Guernsey, reached only by boat. There are no cars and no traffic lights, only tractors, lanes and tracks. Life here moves at the pace of the tide and the light.
Our retreats bring a small group to a retreat house for a restorative week of yoga, coastal walking, shared meals and evenings under Sark’s dark skies. Whether you practise every week or have never stepped onto a mat, you will be welcomed exactly as you are.
Next retreats: June and September 2027, dates released soon. Early booking rate £1,495 shared room.
The island
Why a yoga retreat on Sark works
Most retreats take place somewhere beautiful. On Sark, people walk, cycle or travel by horse and carriage, and the days move at their own pace, set by the tide and the light rather than a clock.
The yoga follows suit. Sessions are mixed level and unhurried, postures held rather than rushed, movement paced by breath rather than by time.

After dark
The Milky Way arrives
With very little light pollution, Sark has exceptional night skies. On clear nights, the Milky Way can stretch overhead. In 2011, Sark became the world’s first Dark Sky Island. One evening of the retreat is spent at Sark Observatory.
The practice
Yoga for every level
Your practice is led by senior teachers from our team, each with many years’ experience. Sessions build gently across the five days, morning and evening, moving between breath, movement and meditation.
Every class is taught for mixed levels. You do not need to be flexible. You do not need experience. Props, modifications and rest are always available.
Our May guests, in their own words:
“I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to do lots of yoga as I was worried about my knee and hip, but the pace has been perfect for me.”

“The practice gave me what I expected and hoped for. Lots of guidance and support.”

The week
More than yoga
Your time on Sark includes:
- Morning yoga to begin the day with intention
- Coastal walks along Sark’s cliff paths
- Vegetarian cooking from our chefs, generous and seasonal
- Free afternoons to swim, read, or explore
- Evenings under starry skies
Morning and evening practice anchor the schedule, with the rest of the day built around Sark. All sessions are optional.
Arriving
Getting here is part of it
Guests travel to Guernsey first, then take the passenger ferry to Sark. The crossing takes around 45 minutes. On arrival, a horse and carriage brings you to the retreat house.
