Derived from the Ashtanga yoga tradition, the series of poses becomes a moving meditation. This is a challenging class that builds strength as well as flexibility, creates openness in all areas of the body and gives one a sense of relaxation and well-being.Variations can be made to accommodate all levels of students.

FUSION YOGA with Jerome This class begins with a short guided meditation and from that deep awareness we expand and deepen the experience through a fusion of various yoga styles: hatha, vinyasa, tai yoga and others. The intention is to breath, move, stretch and strengthen, release and relax at the core of our Being, at the level of intensity that satisfies the soul.

It also enhances your performance in other activities, making you less prone to injury. The exercises are easy to learn. They do not require extraordinary flexibility or strength.
