Alannah Alfieri
Certified Yoga Instructor
About Me
Hello and welcome!
My name is Alannah, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’ve been practicing yoga for over 15 years, and throughout this time, it has transformed my body, mind, and life in ways I never could have imagined. What started as a way to improve flexibility and relieve stress quickly grew into a profound journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, and empowerment. The changes I’ve experienced, both physically and mentally, inspired me to dive deeper into the practice and eventually become a certified yoga instructor.
My Approach as a Teacher
As a teacher, my goal is to create a welcoming space where you can explore your practice at your own pace, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi. I believe yoga is for everyone, and it’s not just about the poses — it’s about connecting with your body, calming the mind, and fostering a sense of peace and balance in everyday life.
One of my core values as a teacher is safe, mindful movement. Over the years, I’ve learned just how crucial it is to approach your practice with awareness and respect for your body. Yoga is about empowerment, not pain, and I’m dedicated to helping you move in ways that protect and honor your body, no matter where you are on your journey. It’s not about perfection; it’s about creating a practice that feels supportive and sustainable, both on and off the mat.
What to Expect in My Classes
In my classes, you can expect a blend of intentional breathwork and mindful movement that emphasizes alignment and body awareness. Whether you're working through gentle stretches or building strength, my goal is to support your practice at every level.
My classes offer a blend of strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, inviting you to challenge yourself while nurturing your body. I’m passionate about helping others find the same sense of transformation and joy that yoga has brought to my life, with safety and care always at the forefront.
If you're ready to start or deepen your yoga journey, I'd be honored to support you along the way. Whether you have questions or are eager to dive into a class, I'm here to help and would love to welcome you soon!
Thank you so much for visiting.
I’m truly excited to share this journey with you and look forward to practicing together soon!

Testimonials
After meeting Alannah last year in Sri Lanka, I was initially struck by her presence - the diminutive and smart New Yorker who found her way to our tropical island via South-East Asia became a new light in my world and I have been a loyal student since.
Her expertise extends far beyond the discipline of yoga, she possesses an incredible knowledge of the body, how it works, how we can strengthen and heal it through targeted movement, muscle engagement and breathwork. Her unique approach to asanas reflects this deep knowledge, making her practice both insightful and transformative.
Alannah’s energy can only be truly appreciated by meeting her in person and enjoying her classes - I love her Vinyasa flows - dynamic and creative with unique and challenging transitions, whilst her Hatha class is rooted in tradition as a foundational practice yet enriched by her inimitable teaching style.
I always leave her sessions feeling grateful, energized and uplifted.”
Sandra Hill, Galle
I’ve had the privilege of witnessing Alannah’s evolution as a yoga teacher from the beginning. When I met her at YTT it was evident this was not only a passion, but an innate gift. With creativity and intentionality, her flows were like nothing I experienced before, leaving me inspired mentally and renewed physically. She cultivated a genuine sense of safety to explore through her presence and authenticity, both of which are [unfortunately] rare qualities in our fast-paced, distracted world. Since then, she’s led my wellness program participants and me in a yin practice, meditations, and pranayama sessions. From memorable to exceptional, she now exhibits increased knowledge, confidence, and an adaptability to tailor each class to meet the needs of her students in the moment. It’s a bit like magic to experience someone in their flow state and that’s what it’s like when Alannah steps onto the mat. Take her class; witness her magic — you’ll be happy you did! - Kaitie, USA
Practicing with Alannah for over a month has been amazing. I love how she builds sequences with a ladder approach and teaches diverse flows, covering all areas of the practice. No matter if you are a complete beginner, or a more advanced yogi, her knowledge will give you the tools to profound your experience. Her clear instructions, thoughtful variations, and humble, positive attitude make her an inspiring and accessible teacher. Highly recommended! - Francesco, Italy
