Sunspots introduces Cuba tour for yogis

A new Harmony in Havana itinerary with Sunspots Holidays is the first of its kind with the tour operator, offering a unique program specifically catering to yogis.

As part of the eight-day trip, participants will enjoy two hours of morning yoga daily with instructor Ernesto Carulla, before embarking on cultural, architectural and social experiences in the surrounding area, led by a professional guide.

Canadian yoga instructor Jennifer Lyons has been working with Sunspots on creating the experience.

A departure from typical all-inclusive tours in this Caribbean destination, Christy Kurian, director of Sunspots, said that accommodation in government-approved homes adds to the authenticity of the trip.

Daily themes will showcase different sides of the country, such as history and architecture, beach and art, visit with local farmers, Hemmingway, yoga and nature, & cigars and rum.

"This tour is an opportunity to see Cuba in a new way," Kurian said of the "lifestyle-oriented program."

In addition to daily activities, the $1,379 price per person includes seven nights' accommodation plus meals (seven breakfasts, three lunches and four dinners).

Group size will be eight to 15 people, and a guaranteed departure is scheduled for Oct. 31 - Nov. 7.

Kurian told PAX that similar packages are in the works for other destinations.

A flyer with all the details is available for travel agencies to customize and share with clients.
