Bio
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 go. He went on researching and practicing Movement with Marcello Palozzo in Austria, later joining the first cohort of the Human Movement Studies program.
Through both academic study and lived experience, Toufic continues to cultivate spaces where movement becomes a path to connection, expression, and self-realization—a journey he walks alongside his students.
In 2012, Adel graduated in kinesiology from the University of Montreal. He began his exploration of movement as a personal trainer in various gyms and, two years later, decided to study osteopathy to better understand the human body.
After completing his osteopathy studies in Montreal in 2019, he embarked on intense full-time research into Movement Practice. He is currently a student of @palozzo.marcello in the first cohort of "Human Movement Studies Program". He has been teaching classes to his community for over three years in Montreal and in Europe.
Recently, he opened his own space for movement practice and exploration in Montreal, "Movement Practice Montréal", providing his community with the opportunity to explore the curiosity that may arise regarding the body and its possibilities.
