Well, there is a way. It is not in-place encryption (the data are shifted) so you need reserve some space in the end of device (either by increasing partition or by shrinking the filesystem a little bit). Read http://asalor.blogspot.cz/2012/08/re-encryption-of-luks-device-cryptsetup.html and man page of cryptsetup-reencrypt. And do not try it without backup, reencrypting is still experimental thing.
