Jackie Gobbo Owner/Instructor

Jackie Gobbo earned her 200-hr RYT certificate in 2017 from the School Yoga Institute in Mal Pais, Costa Rica. Studying Ashtanga based Vinyasa and Sivananda based Hatha Yoga, Jackie is a proponent of classical yoga. She believes that yoga is more than just “exercise” and truly links the mind, body and breath in harmony. She plans to continue on her yoga journey with a prenatal training. Kindred is a labor of love for Jackie; she couldn’t be happier to bring the benefits of this ancient practice to her own town. Jackie is also part owner of another small business that manufactures and sells retail food items. She runs their day-to-day operations in NY, NJ and CT.

Mike Gobbo Jr. Owner/Instructor

Mike completed his 200-hr RYT in 2024 from Soul Practice Yoga with the amazing Sally Rodriguez Hamm. As an avid yoga enthusiast he’s enjoyed having an in-home instructor in his wife Jackie for over a decade but decided to pursue his own certification as well. As a multi-sport athlete in his childhood as well as four seasons of college football at Fairleigh Dickinson University he suffers from chronic pain from old injuries. Yoga has provided a welcomed relief for the physical pain as well as mental. As a health and safety professional and volunteer firefighter in Leonia, he is excited and determined to show the benefits of yoga in all aspects of a person’s life and the community at large.
