A Dynamic Duo Just for You

Linda and Karleen join forces to bring a vibrant mix of movement, contemplative practices, and game playing to Seek the Sun 2027. Each brings unique expertise, decades of experience, fresh perspectives, engaging stories, and a generous helping of joy and humor—enough to fill the Universe.

Linda Meacci (she/her), E-RYT 500, YACEP

While studying theatre and dance in New York City, Linda discovered her passion for yoga—a practice that has shaped her life ever since. Bringing spontaneity, wonder, and a deep sense of joy to her teaching, Linda creates a warm, connected space where each person is invited to meet themselves exactly where they are–to listen inward, trust their own insights, and rediscover their authentic nature.

Her expertise lies in dynamically teaching through the lens of both Eastern and Western principles and practices to illuminate the innate connection between body, feeling and inner life. Linda’s clear, accessible instruction is grounded in anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. Her innovative style weaves together slow flow, therapeutically oriented yoga, mindfulness, functional and somatic movement, Feldenkrais, expressive movement, guided imagery, and contemplative experiences. 

Linda’s work invites students to take their practice beyond the mat—to become more curious about the forces shaping their lives, open to new possibilities, and connected to the power, joy, and wisdom within.

Karleen Preator (she/her), PhD, Psychologist, E-RYT 200

Karleen brings her love of movement, fitness, humor, and joy to her teaching, creating classes that challenge the body while calming the mind. With clear, detailed instruction, she welcomes students of all levels and encourages each person to discover yoga as a deeply personal practice—one that meets you exactly where you are.

Karleen began practicing yoga in 1977 and completed her 200-hour teacher training in 2010. Her lifelong love of movement extends beyond yoga to ballet, bicycling, hiking, skiing, and kayaking. She is also an avid lover of theater, dance, and poetry, and delights in time with her two amazing granddaughters and her menagerie of grandcats.

Special note: Karleen has become the master of ceremony for retreat game nights. So please join her and others for some play, strategy and laughter!
