Bhavani Chiara Azzali was born in Rome and has been living in the Ananda Assisi community since 2020.

She holds a degree in Psychology and works as a therapist specializing in trauma-related issues, using approaches such as Somatic Experiencing and craniosacral therapy.

Her natural curiosity and her search for a deeper and more authentic meaning of life led her, in 2019, to encounter the teachings of her Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda. Since then, her life path has been profoundly transformed, leading her to dedicate herself with commitment to the study and practice of the teachings of the Path of Self-Realization, integrating them into her daily life and therapeutic work.

In this context, she obtained certification as an instructor of Ananda Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Life Therapy at the Yogananda Academy, and she currently serves as a teacher at the Ananda center.

Her approach to life, healing, and the search for the highest Truth has been further enriched through her encounter with Ayurveda. She is currently training as an Ayurvedic practitioner at the Satyaveda school, which she runs together with her husband, the Ayurvedic doctor Dhananjaya Fabio Basalisco.

Her path of continuous evolution and growth leads her to explore increasingly subtle and intuitive aspects of reality, developing sensitivity and intuitive abilities that she places at the service of the well-being and growth of others.
