Kali Yoga opens at North Buffalo’s Delaware Plaza, led by Jennifer Gress and Kate Boyd

Current assessment: The available evidence supports reporting that Kali Yoga has opened and is operating at 2625 Delaware Ave. in Buffalo’s North Buffalo area. The strongest support is a same-day Buffalo Business First report identifying Jennifer Gress and Kate Boyd as the co-founders, together with Kali Yoga’s own website, which lists the address, founders, class offerings and booking information. The record supports a studio-opening story; it does not independently establish every element of the founders’ previous professional backgrounds.

Reported facts

Buffalo Business First reported on August 5, 2026, that Gress and Boyd opened Kali Yoga in a North Buffalo plaza at 2625 Delaware Ave. The publication’s headline describes the operators as a former CPA and an attorney, while its article preview says both had taught yoga for more than a decade before opening their own space.

Kali Yoga’s website identifies Jennifer Gress and Kate Boyd as “Founder / Instructor.” Its homepage describes the business as a yoga and movement studio, and its public class information lists heated vinyasa, restorative practice, meditation and strength-based movement among its offerings.

Supporting evidence

The Business First report is the central source for the opening announcement, the co-founders’ prior professional descriptions and the reported build-out. Its preview states that the space required bathroom additions, new windows and acoustical work to allow simultaneous classes.

The studio’s own website provides direct operational corroboration. It lists 2625 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, NY 14216, invites customers to book classes, names Gress and Boyd as founders, and describes two practice spaces, including a heated main studio and an unheated room for restorative, meditation and beginner-oriented programming. Taken together, those details are consistent with an operating, newly launched studio rather than a proposed business.

Limitations and competing evidence

The accessible Business First page provides only a short preview rather than the full article. As a result, the available record does not establish the studio’s precise opening-day schedule, the size of the premises, the cost of the build-out, or which founder previously worked as a CPA and which practiced law. Kali Yoga’s public website confirms the founders and location but does not independently state those prior professions or give a formal opening-date announcement.

There is no conflicting evidence in the sources reviewed. Still, the studio’s promotional descriptions of its mission, facilities and programming are first-party statements and should not be read as independent verification of business performance, enrollment or long-term viability.

Current conclusion

The most defensible present interpretation is that Kali Yoga is a newly opened Buffalo yoga and movement studio operated by Jennifer Gress and Kate Boyd at 2625 Delaware Ave. Buffalo Business First’s reporting supports the additional claim that the founders came to the venture from CPA and legal careers and had each taught yoga for more than a decade; those details remain attributed to that outlet because the studio’s own pages do not substantiate them. A full Business First article, a studio opening announcement, or direct confirmation from Gress and Boyd could materially clarify the opening timeline and their individual professional histories.
