Gianni Melwani

Initially, Gianni Melwani of Hybrid Group saw the Iris: Your Escape festival as an ideal way to share his love of yoga. Today, the event is Hong Kong’s largest wellness festival, attracting more than 4,000 participants. Its most recent edition, a two-day event, featured more than 80 experiences covering all aspects of health and wellness—from yoga and meditation to tness classes. The festival’s aim is to create an inclusive community that encourages the creation of deeper connections. With a focus on helping individuals explore their potential, the festival is now about much more than just perfecting your downward-facing dog.
