About Us
Sol Sanctum Wellness Hotel & Studio has been thoughtfully designed and created for those who want to experience a peaceful, calm retreat in comfort with modern amenities.
We believe that the balance between mind, body and spirit must be nurtured. Our yoga and meditation sessions, tai chi and other uplifting practices, are offered in a tranquil space where guests can attend scheduled classes, do their own practice, or enjoy a customised itinerary which blends both, along with a taste of our mystical island of Saint Lucia.
Owners and creators of Sol Sanctum, Marise and Wendell Skeete have been teaching Art of Living Meditation & Breathwork programs for more than 30 years. Here in this special place, they have used their wealth of experience to create the perfect environment for a deeply enriching getaway, tailored specifically to your physical and spiritual needs.
Starting in 2022, international yoga teachers and instructors of other disciplines have been invited to host classes, special events and retreats in this beautiful space, sharing their skills and wisdom with our guests and wider Sol Sanctum community.

Monique Devaux-Lovell @myfitslu
Certified Teacher: CSV YOGA Core Strength Vinyasa
Philosophy: Stay Physically Fit Through Yoga
Roughly twenty years ago, I was injured while skiing and developed sciatica. Looking for relief, I started to practice yoga. Developing a strong yoga foundation has permitted me to continue my physical and outdoor pursuits. I strongly believe that yoga is for everyone. It increases our flexibility and minimizes injuries to keep our bodies youthful.
