Born in Como, Celeste has passionately explored the invisible through poetry, music, dance and philosophy. In India she trained as a Hatha Yoga teacher at the Mysore Mandala Yoga Shala and continued her studies in New York, Rishikesh and Milan. Soon, Celeste’s exploration shifted to focus on the therapeutic aspects of yoga and the relationship between the human body and nature. Having received her four-year āyurveda technician diploma, Celeste helps her community develop practices to help them enhance their concreteness, creativity and sensoriality.

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.
