Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet, two stunning sister resorts on Saint Lucia’s south-west coastline, have recently added paddleboard yoga to their lengthy roster of activities. This class is just one example of how the resorts reflect a new mission of the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), which has declared 2018 the Year of Wellness and Rejuvenation for the region.
45-minute group classes (offered on Wednesday mornings at 11 a.m.) cost $35 person; private classes are available by appointment and cost $100 per person or $140 per couple. Those who want to learn more about stand-up paddleboarding (often called SUP) can also attend a free weekly demonstration, which is held every Tuesday at 12:15 p.m.
In addition to paddle board yoga guests are able to partake in complimentary land based yoga classes for beginners and advanced practitioners at sunrise and sunset and also, book private yoga classes with the resorts’ two resident yoga instructors. The resorts’ two spas offer both classic and ayurvedic spa treatments. Specialty week long seminars are planned later this year.
