FREE MASTERCLASS
October 9, 10 & 11, 2026
What is your challenge today, as a teacher or practitioner?
Perhaps it is no longer about learning another pose.
Perhaps it is about understanding more deeply what you are already doing.
After years of practice, different questions begin to emerge.
Why does a particular practice affect us in one way rather than another?
How can we teach intelligently in mixed-ability classes without losing precision or individual attention?How can philosophy become embodied experience rather than remain abstract theory?
How do we continue to find inspiration in our practice and teaching after years - sometimes decades - of experience?
A little about me
My name is Chiara M. Travisi.
For more than twenty years, my work has revolved around the study, practice and teaching of Yoga within the Iyengar tradition.
I am the founder and director of the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Milan, a certified Level 3 Iyengar® Yoga teacher, mentor and assessor.
Alongside my teaching, I have an academic background in research, with two PhDs and a Master’s degree in Yoga Studies from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. I also continue to study regularly at the RIMYI in Pune with the Iyengar family.
Throughout these years, one conviction has remained constant: practice and understanding cannot be separated.
Practice without understanding can become mechanical and stagnate. Understanding without practice remains theoretical. Meaningful learning happens when the two are allowed to inform each other.
Three complimentary Masterclasses
To introduce you to the approach behind Yoga Unfolded - my independent educational and editorial platform dedicated to the continuing study and practice of Yoga - I invite you to join me for three complimentary online Masterclasses.Three sessions.
Three dimensions of learning.
-
Friday, October 9 - PRACTICE
Practising together through the Iyengar® method, exploring the use of props, sequencing and technical principles through direct experience.
-
Saturday, October 10 - THEORY
Exploring key topics within Yoga Studies and bringing them into dialogue with contemporary scientific research.
-
Sunday, October 11 - INQUIRY
A live space for your questions on personal practice and teaching
We will close the final session with an introduction to Yoga Unfolded, for those who would like to continue studying and practising together beyond the Masterclasses.
Each session lasts 90 minutes, live and in English.
Practice. Theory. Inquiry.
Three dimensions that, in my experience, make the difference between simply accumulating information and developing knowledge that can genuinely transform the way we practise and teach.
Who are these Masterclasses for?
These sessions are designed for Yoga teachers and experienced practitioners rather than complete beginners.
They are open to those practising within the Iyengar tradition as well as practitioners and teachers from other Yoga traditions.
They are for those who feel that the next step may not be another pose to learn, but a deeper understanding of what they are already practising.
And for those who want to move beyond accumulating techniques and begin connecting practice to a solid theoretical foundation.
Join the Masterclasses
Three complimentary online sessions. Three evenings of practice, study and inquiry.
An opportunity to experience the approach to learning that lies at the heart of Yoga Unfolded.
I look forward to meeting you there.
Chiara
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to practise Iyengar Yoga to participate?
No. The inquiry into practice, theory and teaching extends beyond any single tradition. You are welcome whether your background is in Iyengar Yoga or another approach.
What if I can't attend all three sessions live?
Recordings will be available after each session.
What happens after the Masterclasses?
During the final session, I will introduce Yoga Unfolded, the platform where this work continues throughout the year.
There is no obligation to join. It is simply an opportunity to discover the project and decide whether you would like to continue studying and practising together.
