Join Ludisis Mones a Cuban dancer and certified Yoga Teacher for this cultural journey and Yoga Retreat in Cuba !

Welcome to our Cuban Culture and Yoga Retreat in Cuba. During this adventure we will visit the cities of Havana, Trinidad and Viñales.

We will walk through the typical streets of the city to get into the popular culture and meet the people of the town. On this retreat, we will not only have yoga but also Salsa Music and above all; a lot of fun. Besides that, eco trek, horseback riding, and snorkeling are some of the activities that you will enjoy.

Cuba is the most colorful place I’ve seen, not only for its beautiful architecture but also for its cheerful people. The pearl of the Caribbean gathers several races, cultures and religions that make it without a doubt a wonderful destination for yoga retreats.

Loaded with history and secrets, Cuba has an unrivaled wealth: Its people. We Cubans are positive, pure of heart and in solidarity. And maybe it’s our solidarity that catches the attention of visitors.We Cubans share our music, our folklore, our food and even our funny words that sometimes we do not even understand.

We cubans are very family oriented people. The family is our backbone, no matter how distant we are physically, every Cuban carries in his heart the grandpa who smoked his cigar while helping you do the homework or that grandmother who each morning placed a marpacific flower in her hair while singing a song to Yemayá.

SEE YOU IN CUBA

Ludisis trained as a dancer in her native country: Cuba. From an early age she felt great passion for the spiritual world. Her training as a yoga teacher took place in Indonesia exactly in Bali the Island of the Gods. Her goal is to share her practice with her students and help them to know more about themselves and Yoga. She is passionate about spirituality, and offers wisdom, guidance and persistence to her students. Teachers who worked with her in Bali found her to be a kind, strong and powerful individual, and she can be relied upon to act as the calm in the middle of a storm.

During our yoga retreat in Cuba, you will receive daily Hatha Yoga classes. Hatha Yoga helps to harmonize the body, breathing, wisdom, and spirit, conceptualizing and exploring the nature of being. Hatha Yoga offers a sequential method to become fully aware of our existence, the physical and subtle bodies while at the same time directing attention more and more toward a happy place of existence.

The aim of our yoga sections, classes and workshops will show you yoga as a process of awakening to the truth of one's own being, to a feeling of permanent equanimity amid, the turbulence of everyday life and the stages of our existence. It will be a precious time to be with your being and to know yourself as you really are.

The classes that will be carried out during our yoga retreat, are all planned to avoid in this way unnecessarily difficult practises and that it may cause injuries to our clients. Ludisis Mones our certified yoga instructor will offer you a range of asana, pranayama and meditation sequences, so you can choose which sequence is best suited to your self-exploration.

Instead of thinking about asanas held for a long time as static, we will encourage you to perform small adjustment movements that provide stronger stability and more comfort for breathing, body, and mind.

The Hatha Yoga classes will gradually go from the simple to the complex in this way the body opens more easily and consequently more safely. In our classes, we will enter the stillness from the moment we step on the Mat, during the most intense phases of practice and even in savasana.

We hope you will join us and enjoy our yoga retreat. We have prepared it with love.
