Chiara Guerrieri studied physical education and kinesiology in her native Italy and has been a licensed massage therapist in Seattle since 1983. She began studying yoga in 1983 as a way to rehabilitate after a car accident and continues to practice, teach yoga and offer anatomy classes as a way to heal the split between body and mind.

Chiara recognizes the the importance of having a concrete understanding of anatomy and physiology in order to move safely and comfortably. Her anatomy classes are geared toward yoga instructors, students with injuries and students interested in gaining a solid knowledge of the structure and function of anatomy principles. Her classes typically cover the topics of :
- functional anatomy
- visual assessment
- problem solving
- experiential integration of concepts and a yoga practice

Chiara taught anatomy, physiology and kinesiology at the Brian Utting School of Massage, in Seattle Washington. Since 2000, she has been the lead anatomy instructor for several Yoga Teacher Training Programs including 8 Limbs Yoga, Ana Forrest and Yoga House. Her twenty-hour anatomy courses meet the requirements for the Yoga Alliance Certification.
