Afro Flow Yoga® founder, Leslie Salmon Jones enjoys a career working with clients, students, diverse populations, and community organizations to help develop mastery over their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-beings.  Since dancing at the age of seven, Leslie has been living her dreams as a professional dancer, certified holistic personal trainer, yoga instructor, wellness coach, and public speaker.  She completed her BA in interdisciplinary studies in health sciences and dance at SUNY, NYC and has had the opportunity to study and train with world-renowned masters of dance, yoga and spirituality. It was through her intensive dance training at the Alvin Ailey School in New York that Leslie was first introduced to yoga, and nearly twenty five years later, she remains dedicated to her yoga practice. It was the connection with African spirituality, yogic principals, the intrinsic expression of movement through nature’s elements and a transformational journey throughout Africa and the Caribbean, that inspired Leslie to create Afro Flow Yoga® in 2008. Along with her husband Jeff Jones multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, musical director and co-founder, they currently offer AFY weekly classes, monthly workshops, teacher trainings and outreach programs to promote diversity and inclusion in Boston, Connecticut and New York.  AFY workshops and retreats are also offered at The Omega Institute, Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Festivals, Schools, Colleges and Universities, private events and at studios worldwide including Hawaii, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Bali and Canada. Afro Flow Yoga® has been featured in Yoga Journal, Black Enterprise, NPR, Exhale Magazines, “Better Living with Liz Walker,” NBC and ABC news and was voted “Boston’s Best” yoga class in 2016 by the Improper Bostonian.  Leslie and Jeff co-produced two wellness DVDs:“Core Strength: Back to Basics” and “Core Power: Radiate the Energy Within”, available online.
