WHAT IS JERBEAR YOGA?
JerBear Yoga organizes yoga and fitness classes, as well as events and retreats to grow and nurture real well-being. We bring people together to create community, inspiring one another through movement, immersion in nature, joyful activities and healthy meals together. While our activities are created with our older adults in mind, we welcome people of all ages to come seek peace, a supportive community, and a great workout with us.

Join our community is we look to focus on complete well-being, including physical, emotional, and nutritional on our retreats and special events. Along with various yoga and fitness offerings, this is a great opportunity to connect with our members, as well as learn more about Jerry's other passion - food. A belief in whole, healthy, and diverse food options, Jerry lives by the motto “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”
Fitness
In addition to our yoga, we have organized hikes, swims, strength-focused classes, and more to help cultivate well-being throughout the body. Join us as we work to improve strength and flexibility through a variety of fitness activities in beautiful, natural settings.
Yoga
Led by Jerry, our Mindful Movement classes use breathwork to promote calmness and easeful movement, poses designed to create space in our joints, relief from discomfort, and increased strength and flexibility. His practice is intended to promote a deeper intimacy with one’s body, a relief of tension, both physical and emotional, and a deep sense of well-being.
