The Yoga Camp in Playas del Este, Havana not only offers relaxation and leisure, but also the chance to immerse yourself in Cuban culture. Between yoga classes, you can explore the lively street scene, listen to traditional Cuban music, and savor the country’s delicious cuisine.

The sound of the waves and the soft sand beneath your feet will make your yoga experience even more profound. Whether you’re starting as a beginner or deepening your practice, this journey will guide you toward greater balance and well-being.
Did you know that neuroscience has recently demonstrated that well-being, empowerment, and self-realization depend on the synchronization of the rhythmic frequencies of the heart and brain? The most surprising thing is that this synchronization can be achieved and trained at will. Renacer Arte Yoga is the studio where we hold our classes, a space where neuroscience-backed techniques are made available to everyone to achieve that heart-brain connection. By learning to synchronize attention, movement, and breathing, you expand your capacity for self-control, personal liberation, and conscious expression.
