Most yoga courses teach you what to do. Some explain how to do it.
Very few help you understand why a practice works, which mechanisms it influences, and how it can be used intelligently to support health, personal development, and teaching.

I'm Chiara M. Travisi, Ph.D., certified Iyengar® Yoga teacher, mentor, assessor, and Ph.D researcher. For more than twenty years, I have been integrating practice, yoga philosophy, and scientific research in my teaching. I am the founder of the Iyengar Yoga Institute Milan, recognized by the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, where I continue to study regularly with the Iyengar family.

This September I will host a free three-session masterclass for practitioners and teachers who wish to move beyond technique and develop a deeper understanding of yoga and its effects on body and mind.

The masterclass offers a first glimpse into a larger educational project that I will be unveiling in the coming months.
