An artist, an explorer and spiritual aficionado, Iris has been captaining the Raise Your Vibration mission for the last two years. Their fascination with the essence of being began at a young age, immersing themselves in books on Zen Buddhism and dreaming of life in a Japanese monastery. A decade later, they discovered Osho's teachings, which sparked a deep and ongoing spiritual practice. Through many years of travel and immersion in spiritual communities, Iris continued to experiment with diverse traditions, techniques, and therapies. In Auroville, India, they became an expert in hypnosis and Yoga Nidra—a practice that is both profoundly relaxing and enlightening. Today, Iris shares the seeds of light gathered along this journey, through conversation, presence, and the practice of different techniques they continue to explore with dedication.

Marco is a classically trained yoga instructor and can run a sweaty vinyasa class like nobody’s business. But, thankfully, he is so much more than that. He has taught Yin Yoga for many years, a restorative, slow, and subtle practice, as well as Pranayama, an ancient yogic breathing technique. In the Gong Temple he now shares his Katonah yoga expertise with our Milan community to help students enhance their understanding of their bodies and minds while also improving their flexibility, strength and overall well-being. He’s also just the happiest person - joyful, encouraging, a ball of pure light energy. Alessandra started out as a photographer, always interested in the body and its language. Her passion for outdoor sports, such as climbing and cycling, brought her almost naturally to the practice of yoga, initially for its physical benefits, then developing a growing interest in the spiritual aspects of this wonderful discipline. In 2015 she completed her first Vinyasa training at the Loom Studio in New York, then continuing her training in Milan, thanks to the meeting with Marco Migliavacca and Giovanna De Paulis. The adaptability of the practice to the student, the respect for the anatomy and the specific personal history of each person, the openness to listening and experimentation, the idea of being as a means to allow the student to get in touch with his or her deepest self, are all key methods of her work aimed at re-discovering the innate integration between the mind and the body of each person.
