Teachers

  • Matea Zelovic

    Matea is a movement teacher and educator,  specializing in holistic, somatic and integrative movement.

    Her journey into movement and mindfulness began 10 years ago while navigating a chronic autoimmune illness that deeply disconnected her from her body and mind. This experience led her to explore the interplay between biomechanics and energetic systems, developing self-healing tools that now shape her teaching.

    With over 7 years of teaching experience and training in yoga, Pilates, barre, breathwork and human design, Matea has taught across North America, Europe, Africa, and Central America. She hosts wellness events, teacher trainings, corporate workshops and international retreats.

    Matea finds deep fulfillment in guiding others through movement practices that foster resilience, awareness, and transformation. For her, investing in personal growth is an act of empowerment - one that allows individuals to radiate from within.

  • Toufic Geagea

    BSc Exercise Science & Movement Teacher

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

    A pivotal shift came when he discovered Ido Portal’s Movement Philosophy 8 years ago. He went on to join a Movement School with Marcello Palozzo in Austria, later joining the first cohort of the Human Movement Studies program. 

    Through both academic study and embodied experience, Toufic continues to cultivate spaces where movement becomes a path to connection, expression, and self-realization—a journey he walks alongside his students.

“Movement is life’s original language, before words or stories. To move is to engage actively in the experience of life.”
