You will be pleased to find out that yoguis will now have even more options for classes, as the Aldea Cultural Santa Rosa de Lima in La Romana, is providing ongoing courses which we can’t wait to try.
Yoga classes at the Aldea Cultural Santa Rosa de Lima are being held on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for only RD$150 (US$3.33) per person! But these classes are not just for adults, given that children are also welcome.
Jackie, Altagracia and Carolina, are the three well prepared and professional yoga teachers who will encourage you to graduate from child’s pose to headstand in a heartbeat.
The Instructors

She practices Hatha Yoga since 1986 and took classes in Alma Mesa, Santo Domingo.
