With its new “Elevate Yourself” promotion, the island of St. Lucia is inviting everyone to experience a new level of rejuvenation and relaxation during their third annual Health & Wellness Retreat, November 1-3, 2013. Several leading hotels will welcome attendees with value-added packages and special rates for the three-day retreat, including free nights and savings of up to 30 percent off.

The three-day Retreat includes daily spa treatments both beachside and at resorts like The BodyHoliday and The Landings, a number of classes and wellness seminars led by renowned experts held on Pigeon Island National Park and a visit to Saint Lucia’s Sulphur Springs. Prices start at $595 per person. A day rate of $200 per person is also available.

“I’m really excited to be a part of the Elevate Yourself retreat in St. Lucia,” said Cat Cora, the first and only female Iron Chef “I’ll be focusing on cooking demonstrations, presenting some of my favorite recipes for energizing yourself to look and feel your best.”

Guests will have the opportunity to recharge mind, body and soul, through specially planned workshops like the sunrise group meditation led by Gabrielle Bernstein.

“I can’t wait to go to St. Lucia. It’s the ideal location to reconnect with yourself, to relax and let go of your troubles,” said Bernstein.

Additional participating experts include Dr. John Douillard D.C., Ayurvedic expert; Dani Devaux, creator of Blood, Sweat and Tears fitness program; and John Schumacher, founder and director of Unity Woods Yoga Center and one of only 13 certified advanced lyengar yoga teachers in the United States.
