instructors_chiara2Chiara Guerrieri began practicing yoga more than 20 years ago while searching for a way to heal her body from the pain and trauma of a car accident. Her practice of yoga deepened significantly in the 90's, when a back injury led to study with Ana Forrest in order to strengthen her core and therefore better support her spine.

Chiara has completed two teacher-trainings with Ana Forrest, one in 1998 and a second in 1999. She has been teaching yoga since. As a massage therapist who specializes in injury rehabilitation, Chiara has a special interest in anatomy and has been teaching anatomy at in several yoga teacher trainings in the Seattle area.

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.
