From Vision to Reality
The vision, concept, and planning for this retreat began in about January 2016 when Dr. Stephen Redmon researched the history of yoga in Cuba and began communicating with Dr. Pimentel and his staff. Dr. Redmon organized and led a Cuba Retreat exploratory team to Havana, Cuba in December 2016 and met with Dr. Pimentel and his wife. Nomder Yoga has been returning annually for this transformational retreat.
Nomder Retreats has also expanded to Sierra Leone, West Africa. Contact Dr. Redmon directly for more information.
