The Yoga Tree in downtown Haverhill celebrated its 16th year with free classes in a variety of yoga practices over three days, Friday, July 24, through Sunday, July 26.
Founded in 2010 by Caroline Pineau of Haverhill, the 2,000-square-foot studio at 90 Washington St. was purchased in 2019 by Ally Vallieres, who trained with Pineau. Pineau sold the studio at the time she opened her second business venture, Haverhill Stem, just down the street.
A Haverhill native, Vallieres said the weekend of “It’s Our Sweet 16th” events welcomed current students as well as newcomers to try out different styles of traditional yoga without obligation. She also offered reduced prices on future classes.

“To see the community we have created over 16 years has been very rewarding,” Vallieres told WHAV. “We had people at the celebration who have been with us from day one, people who just started with us and those in between.”
The studio overlooking the Merrimack River currently employs a staff of eight teachers. In addition to in-person classes and individual instruction, Vallieres also offers online classes, live streamed classes and special events. She offers a cellphone app for easy scheduling. She also offers an annual teacher training course and regular continuing education classes. The studio also offers retreats. Vallieres and teacher Caitlin Ferrante will be taking students to Morocco in April.
