Meet Our Team

Yoga has been a part of my life since I was a teen. I found the practice during a time when I needed healing, both emotionally and mentally. Yoga classes offered a space to process my emotions and reconnect with myself. Over time, yoga became not just a practice, but a path toward strength, peace and self-compassion.

As life unfolded, I became an elementary school teacher and later a mother to two amazing boys. As they grew into teenagers, yoga became even more essential as a space to return to myself amidst the beautiful, sometimes chaotic rhythm of raising a family. It continues to help me stay patient, centered, and present, both at home and in the studio.

In March 2023, I opened Haven Yoga. Haven is a space lovingly created to share the transformative power of yoga. My hope is that every student who walks through our doors feels supported, seen, and inspired to grow in their own practice. I’m so excited to continue building this community together and can’t wait to welcome you to the studio.

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.

Jaimie's passion for yoga began as a personal journey of self-discovery and inner transformation in 2018. Drawn by the profound impact the practice had on her physical, mental, and emotional well-being, she pursued her certification as a yoga teacher.

Chiara found yoga as a way to build strength and stay active, but eventually the practice showed itself as a way to ground her body and center her mind. As a yoga teacher, Chiara creates a space to connect- with yourself, each other & the present moment.

Chiara learned power yoga in her training, and since then her classes have grown to combine grounding movement with energizing flows, inviting students to explore their boundaries, connect with their breath & have fun in the process. Expect uplifting playlists and working up a sweat!

Chiara became a 200hr registered yoga teacher (RYT) in 2024 and has been practicing yoga since she was 19.

With over 13 years of experience as a yoga teacher, I bring a holistic approach to my classes, blending my deep knowledge of functional strength and anatomy training with the healing arts of reiki, sound therapy, and shamanic practices.

As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, my journey includes childhood passions for figure skating, skiing, hiking, and horseback riding, along with high school experiences in cross-country, track, and lacrosse.

My personal health journey, overcoming mild scoliosis, Crohn's disease, Lyme disease, arthritis, and RSI, has shaped my commitment to helping others cultivate strength, healing, and balance in their lives.

Heather is a 200-hour RYT who began her yoga journey with Baron Baptiste in 2009 before completing her 200-hour teacher training with The Yoga Shop in 2011.

Heather was first drawn to yoga as a way to find balance and clarity in her life. What began as a physical practice quickly evolved into something much deeper—a space for stillness, reflection, and self-discovery. Over time, yoga became a grounding force that supported her through life’s transitions, teaching her to meet challenges with grace and awareness. The physical strength gained along the way became a welcome bonus to the mental and emotional growth the practice offered.

Her teaching style is joyful, mindful, and intentional, helping students feel grounded and safe in their bodies with a strong focus on alignment and form. Heather strives to create an inclusive space where each student can explore their own practice at their own pace, cultivating both strength and inner calm.

Heather’s regular classes include Power and Energy, where she blends movement, breath, and mindfulness to help students feel connected, present, and empowered—on and off the mat.
