“The Nature of space is directional. The nature of time is circulatory. Without space there is no time. When you place yourself at the center of these polarities you can experience the moment.” - Nevine Michaan
Marco
Marco was born in Milan in 1976, studied art at the Brera Academy and began working in the world of communication. He approaches yoga for the first time in 2000 but, only in 2005, having moved to Barcelona, this encounter turns into a deep and passionate daily dialogue.
In 2009, having completed his first training in hatha vinyasa yoga, he returned to Milan where he began to share the practice and its benefits.
In 2012 he opened the first of two [hohm] street yoga studios, a landmark for the study and practice of this discipline in Milan, which over the next 10 years hosted international teachers and offered trainings and seminars.
Over the years, Marco travels to Spain, Germany, England, India and the United States where he studies with a variety of teachers, including John and Lucy Scott, Sharon Gannon and David Life, David C. Kyle, Leslie Kaminoff, Dharma Mittra, Bo Forbes, Angela Farmer, Rod Stryker and David Regelin.
Of particular importance in his training are his encounters with Biff Mithoefer, with whom he deepened his study of Yin Yoga and Taoism, Prema Mayi, who guided him on the path of Bhakti Yoga, and finally Abbie Galvin and Nevine Michaan, thanks to whom he discovered the Katonah Yoga© method, a syncretic practice combining hatha yoga, Chinese medicine and sacred geometry.
In 2021 he became a certified Katonah Yoga© teacher and began teaching in the mentorship of the Katonah Yoga© center in New York.
In 2020 and 2021 he collaborates with Dérive on a series of projects combining music and yoga for Nike. Also for Nike, in 2021 he creates a project for the Terraforma festival along with music by Caterina Barbieri.
Starting in 2021 he joins the teaching staff of Yoga Academy.
The collaboration with Yoga Academy led Marco to teach at the Kalemana festival, an international festival that brings together music, yoga, and sports.
Marco teaches Katonah Yoga and Yin Yoga in group and individual classes, trainings and workshops both online and in person.
