You probably want to create LUKS over LV (LUKS over LVM) and after normal
LVM resize just issue cryptsetup resize.
(one day LVM will support manipulation with encrypted volumes directly)

- lvreduce -L -4G /dev/vg1/LVfiles
- cryptsetup lukeOpen /dev/vg1/LVfiles luks-vg1-lvfiles
- resize2fs luks-vg1-lvfiles
to resize the root LV, I just used the rescue CD but had to copy the LVM commands on a USB drive since they dont seem to be included for some strange reason.
