Asanas: Inversions & Arm Balances
Philosophy: Abhyāsa & VairāgyaStability and trust are the foundation of lightness. In this immersion, Chiara guides a carefully structured practice approaching inversions and arm balances as a process—not tricks. The focus is on alignment, shoulder and core strength, clear lines, and courageous practice.
In the philosophy section, we explore Abhyāsa (consistent practice) and Vairāgya (letting go). Practice with commitment while softening expectations—creating space for real progress without pressure.
Designed for experienced practitioners. Peak poses are taught with intelligent variations and progressive preparations.
This series continues May 16 — Hips: Freiheit aus Stabilität and June 20 — The Inner Flame.

MY TEACHING APPROACH
Each student receives individual attention within the group setting, guided step by step through the practice. I meet you where you are - supporting your unique pace, respecting your body's needs, and helping you build a sustainable practice.
„My journey mirrors yours - from my first wobbly Sun Salutation in a small Zürich studio to 15 transformative years in Mysore. Now, as a mother of three, I blend deep tradition with Swiss precision and modern life demands. This is Ashtanga as it lives and breathes today - authentic, adaptable, and always evolving.“
