This colossal mash-up of West African dance and vinyasa yoga is called Afro Flow Yoga. “My husband and I decided to take a trip to learn more about our ancestry,” Ms. Salmon-Jones said. Dance was “part of the healing.”Afro Flow Yoga is two parts yoga with one part African dance wedged in between. Not just dance for dance sake.”The live music for Afro Flow Yoga blends peaceful vocals with percussion. “But you realize that African dance is the conversation between you and the ancestors and the earth and God.”
