Alanna Orlandi
Studio Owner

My journey to yoga began out of a need to fit in. As a quiet teen, I had trouble expressing my emotions and kept many things to myself. When I began practicing yoga, I quickly became aware of the comfort I found in the routines of the poses and sequences. I loved that the practice kept my body fit, but more importantly, my mind in balance. I started my career as an elementary school teacher and began to need the practice in my life even more.

I opened Haven Yoga in March 2023. I am so excited to love and grow in this space! See you soon!

Alanna is a 500 hour RYT. She has been practicing yoga since she was 15 and has been teaching yoga for over 12 years.

Kristin Sherwood

My practice of yoga began in 2018, when I took a week off from work and family life. I went to a beloved, quiet place in Vermont where I intuitively began to look inside and explore alternative ways of living and being.

The constant in this week off was a daily practice of Fluid Yoga in the vinyasa tradition. I found a deep sense of presence by practicing intentionally fluid movement and mindful meditation.

Since those days of exploration, I have continued to learn and deepen my practice of yoga and meditation. I find yoga provides me with a sense of calm, peace, letting go and being present. Breath and breathing have become central to my practice. Yoga has grown beyond the mat and has become a lifestyle, a way of be-ing.

Erika Van Dyke

My path to yoga stemmed from a commitment to lifelong learning. As a collegiate student-athlete, I sought a sustainable movement practice that would stay with me beyond my days as a gymnast. In graduate school, I had the opportunity to teach a college skills class in yoga and have continued a personal yoga practice ever since.

Yoga allowed for a merging of my love of movement and scholarly interests in mindfulness practices and breath work. My experience teaching yoga has centered around group fitness settings within a college community, informing my approach to teaching by offering foundational poses and ample extensions to meet the community where they are.

I love that through yoga I have found a space to cultivate wellness and balance through movement, breath, presence, and community.

Chiara Alfarone

Chiara is a 200-hour RYT. She began practicing yoga for strength and exercise, but now realizes how it has transformed into much more than that.

She loves practicing as a way to ground into her body and mind, and to help her understand the limits of what she can do and how to surpass them.

She enjoys practicing with fun music and working up a sweat!
