Fascinated by China and Eastern traditions, Chiara graduated with a degree In Oriental Languages and Literature from Venice (Italy) University in 2002. She further dedicated her studies to the Religion and Philosophy of India and Far Eastern Asia with a special interest in Taoist inner alchemy. During the same period, she discovered yoga and realized how powerful it is to learn through experience.
Chiara has practiced with teachers from several different yoga schools receiving a 300hr diploma in Hatha and Raja Yoga. In 2015, she met Prana Vinyasa® Senior Teacher, Andrew McAuley, under whose guidance she completed the Samudra 200hr teacher training. She is now studying directly with Shiva Rea with a special interest in Lunar Arts.
Chiara founded the Yoga Purnima studio in Pavia where she teaches with joy and devotion paying special attention to the adaptability of the practice to suit the individual and his/her own unique situation so that yoga can be for everyone.
