Movement Open House

October 26th @ Park Lafontaine - Robin des Bois

Discover the movement practice

This free event is designed as an incentive for you to come and discover the movement practice.

This general, radical and innovative approach to physical activity aims to nurture our relationship with the body, the nature and the human experience.

We play, explore fields, discover our potential and develop real connection with others.

Topics

  • Handstand & Mobility

    Learn how to develop a handstand, discover higher principles of balancing and understand the philosophy, utility and benefit behind such a practice.

  • Movement Exploration

    A mixture of movement elements to explore dynamic principles. Through games, improvisation, and guided tasks, you’ll expand your literacy of movement.

  • Spine

    Learn the literacy of spine language, discover new sensations and understand the evolutionary connection and importance of this practice.

  • Soft Acrobatics

    Blend movement principles with higher literacy of spatial configuration and control between the realms of tension, relaxation and natural forces.

Biography

Toufic Geagea is the founder of Movement Circle Montreal and holds a BSc in Exercise Science.
His path began in sports, evolved through six years in fitness, and deepened with a growing love for improvisation and dance.

A pivotal moment came eight years ago when he encountered Ido Portal’s Movement Philosophy. This led him to further exploration and study with Marcello Palozzo in Austria, eventually joining the first cohort of the Human Movement Studies program.

Toufic has taught in diverse settings across Canada and Europe, sharing his approach with a wide range of communities—from structured facilities to experimental spaces.

Grounded in both academic study and lived experience, he continues to create spaces where movement becomes a path for connection, expression, and self-realization—a journey he walks alongside those he teaches.
