Merdith Jacobs
Yoga Instructor (200 hour of Kundalini)
As a larger bodied person, Meredith (she/her) has dabbled with yoga in many different forms over the last 20+ years but never felt she was allowed/welcome to practice due to her body. After experiencing an injury that left her with a loss of movement, she attended a Kundalini yoga class with a friend. It was through this experience in which the world of yoga opened up for her. Kundalini yoga allowed Meredith to regain movement again and journey deeply inward in order to have her own personal experience. She felt welcomed to the yoga practice and free to adapt the asanas (movements) to her body’s needs. She discovered that the practice helped to open her body up for increased physical movement and flexibility, as well as quieting the mind.
It only took practicing a few Kundalini Yoga classes for Meredith to decide that one day she would pursue becoming a teacher, as she knew so many could benefit from the teachings and practices. Fast forward to five years later - In 2020 Meredith completed her 200 hour Kundalini teacher training with Ravi Singh and courageously began her teaching journey online during a worldwide pandemic.

Donna Gadue
Yoga Instructor
Donna began her yoga journey in 2010 when a co-worker invited her to a community class at Plattsburgh State University. At first, she enjoyed the physical aspect of yoga (asana) - moving, stretching and holding the poses. But as she started to attend this class on a regular basis, she began to notice subtle shifts happening - connecting to mind, body and spirit through the practice. The instructor chanted a Sanskrit prayer before and after each class.
Always a “seeker”, this provoked Donna’s curiosity even more. Her introduction to Kundalini Yoga began in 2014. The practice resonated deeply within her and she just couldn’t get enough of this style of yoga. Yoga expertise, a certain body type or level flexibility weren’t required to practice it! Kundalini Yoga also satisfied her yearning to be in harmony with universal love. The practice of using mantras was where the magic of KY really struck her heart - The Bhakti (devotional) aspect of yoga.
Kundalini Yoga uses poses, breaths, mantra and meditation to move and expand energy in the body. It is called the “Yoga of Awareness” because with consistent practice, it can bring awareness and clarity to your life. However, even just one class can deliver beautiful breakthroughs!
Donna is committed to sharing this practice as she find that teaching is positive outlet to remain accountable to herself, her students and ultimately, the Universe. Her passion is to help others connect to their own truth which is love and light!
Donna has studied with Ramdesh Kaur, author of the “The Body Temple”. She has also completed both a 200 hour and 300 hour training with Ravi Singh. Last year, she added a year long “Compassionate Kundalini” teacher training with Ravi to her credentials. Aqua Yoga certification is on the horizon! She has been a yoga instructor since 2017.
Donna loves to spend time with family and friends. She and her husband Jim also love to travel. They have three pets, four children and one darling granddaughter! She retired from Plattsburgh State University in 2022 after 30 years of service. She and her yoga friends love to go on “yoga adventures” often!
