Flexibility and mobility
A body that moves better, with freer joints. Practice after practice, everyday movements become easier.
Elite Fight Academy · For all levels
Yoga in Genoa
More mobility, more breath, more calm. For all levels, even if you’ve never practised before.
The benefits
What yoga brings you
Back and posture
Useful if you spend long hours sitting, at a desk or in the car. It helps release tension and find a more comfortable posture.
Breath
You learn to breathe more deeply and mindfully, a valuable help even outside class.
Less stress, better sleep
An hour to switch off and find calm. It can help you feel lighter in the evening and rest better.
Strength and balance
You tone your body using your own bodyweight, with no equipment, and improve stability and balance.
Focus and awareness
More presence in your body and in everyday life: a simple way to listen to yourself more.
Who it’s for
Yoga is for you if…
- you’ve never done yoga;
- you feel stiff or have little flexibility;
- you want to move without stress or competition;
- you’re looking for a moment just for yourself;
- you already play other sports and want to round out your training.
You don’t need to be flexible to start: you become flexible by practising.

The last few minutes are for lying down, relaxing and enjoying the calm.
One day someone asked Master Krishnamurti how mind and body could be united, and he replied, quite astonished: “But who divided them?”
The practice
A class with Chiara
A moment from a class with Chiara Scarfò at Elite Fight Academy in Genoa.
Your teacher
Your teacher: Chiara Scarfò
CSEN-certified Yoga instructor · Holistic practitioner
I come from the world of dance and contemporary art, and from a very young age I explored disciplines of body and movement, from dance to martial arts. In 2012 a dream, “The Strength of the 7 Eagles” resting along my back, led me to study the spine, the chakras and energy, and from there to Yoga. Since 2016 I’ve been teaching Yoga and Movement in Genoa and leading retreats in Italy and in the Moroccan desert.
The only muscle worth training is awareness.
