                                                                                           YOUR TEACHERS

           CHIARA DONATI

Chiara has been a devoted student of yoga and meditation since the late 90s. She was first drawn to the mat by Ashtanga and strong dynamic flows and later fell in love with the stillness and meditative qualities of practices such as Yin and Nidra. Her teaching style is friendly and relaxed. She fosters a safe and grounding environment where her students can feel welcome and at ease. Ultimately her aim is for people to feel good and inspire them to cultivate a balanced yoga practice. She is a big advocate for Mindfulness and encourages her students to explore both body and mind with breath and awareness. Chiara offers regular community classes and volunteers weekly. She works with homeless girls, the elderly and women from ethnic minority backgrounds. She draws a lot of inspiration for her classes from the cycles of nature and the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chiara has been regularly practicing Qigong and Tai Chi since 2011 and enjoys bringing elements of these martial arts into her yoga classes. She also teaches self-standing Qigong classes.

                                                                                                                                                                                  SARA FUSARO

Sara’s personal yoga practice began over 20 years ago, when she discovered her love for Ashtanga. Since then, Yoga has been the most meaningful, transformative, and informative force in her life. Sara initially trained in London as a vinyasa teacher, but has since taken traditional Hatha and Mindfulness training in India. After specializing in Yin Yoga, she started to be more interested in asana practice as a very subjective experience, less focused on dramatic postures as an end in themselves, but as a practice that can be gentle yet transformative and bring more balance for the mind and body. During her classes she uses her extensive knowledge and keen eye to adapt each pose according to individual needs and thereby better facilitate personal growth and inner confidence. Inspired by Yoga as emotional and psychological transformation, Sara has deepened her knowledge in therapeutic yoga and Well Woman Yoga Therapy and she has been working with NHS offering yoga as a complementary treatment in mental health disorders and in patients with breast cancer offering meditation, Yoga Nidra and Sound  healing as support. Recently Sara trained as a classical Pilates teacher.
