Chiara Guerrieri began studying Yoga in 1983 as a way to rehabilitate after a car accident; she continues to practice and teach yoga as a way to heal the split between body and mind. Her approach is to use the breath to connect with the body by tracking physical sensations moment to moment, so that movement is connected to our internal wisdom. When body and mind are on the same track, we have greater access to that which is larger than us. Chiara has studied Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming; she uses her language skill to weave trances that wake us up from our routines. All her life she has studied movement, from Physical Education in her native Italy, to kinesiology, to various types of dance. She teaches Anatomy for several Yoga Teacher Trainings, has practiced massage therapy since 1983, and has been certified as a yoga instructor with Ana Forrest and Shari Friedrichsen.

The classes that Chiara teaches focus on the core, the deepest musculature of the body's center. A stabilized core can deepen the support provided to the outer layers and limbs. By developing their core, students will connect to a deeper place within themselves and find support within themselves.

Chiara’s core classes are readily accessible to anyone with a basic background in yoga. Students do not need to be strong to take Chiara’s core classes. Rather, the purpose of working on the core is to become strong.

Chiara has a strong interest in injury evaluation and treatment and welcomes students who are recovering from any injury or other physical pain. Chiara can adapt all movements so that all students can find a way participate and also develop the support their bodies need to recover.
