JEFF W. JONES

Jeff is a professional engineer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, and musical director whose musical roots stretch back through generations of Black musicians. For over four decades he has traveled the world and worked with musical greats including Little Richard, Al Green, and Zap Mama, to name just a few. Jeff co-founded Afro Flow Yoga® in 2008 with his wife, Leslie Salmon Jones. Jeff’s special love for the bass and healing drums ground and center the yoga practice. Afro Flow Yoga® has delivered workshops and retreats worldwide, including to the Kripalu Center, the Omega Institute, and Harvard Divinity School, and has been eatured in a recent documentary on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network, "Dark Girls 2" Jeff creates an intuitive dynamic flow through a stream of consciousness and the mastery of African-inspired rhythms, instruments, and vocals, synergizing the class collective. His use of the djembe, which he brought back from Ghana; congas; bongos; the Sudanese Acholi lyre; Indian bells; tambourine; and an eclectic array of tonal instruments makes for a healing musical journey.

“About a three-hour bus ride from Port Authority Bus Terminal to Menla. As the landscape changes from cityscape to mountains, and as you witness your cell phone signal strength dwindle to “no service,” you quite literally unplug yourself from the mundane hustle and bustle of everyday life back to simplicity of nature.”

Nina D.

“We left the Spa feeling healthy, relaxed, and nurtured, which is exactly what one should derive after being at a well-appointed Spa… It is not the amenities and services alone that create a memorable Spa experience, it is the Spa staff, and the Dewa Spa is blessed with a caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable team.”
