Chiara Chitra Capello

My yoga path started in 2003, during a stressful period. I soon experienced the fullness of the practice and the transformation in the body and mind through the system developed by Shri Yogi Hari, my guru, called “Sampoorna Yoga”. My enthusiasm for yoga changed the course of my life and career. In 2012, I got certified as a Sampoorna yoga teacher (E-RYT500) and left my job in the legal field. In 2012 & 2013, I specialized in Children’s Yoga (RCYT 95) with Bryony Duckitt, and I dedicated my time to sharing yoga with children, families, and adults. I am a Yin Yoga Instructor (180 hours), my teacher is Joe Barnett. In 2019, I became certified in Yoga Nidra with Chitra Sukhu, the daughter of Yogi Hari. I love teaching and practicing yoga. It helps me remain strong, grounded, and happy.
