Meet Your Guides
Lead Instructor: Zamir Dhanji
Zamir’s hatha yoga training was influenced by a number of teachers – particularly Swami Sivananda and Donna Farhi – and he completed his 500 hr teacher training under David Goulet in Chakra Yoga. This approach provides a holistic understanding of the body-mind system rooted in modern science…which also corroborates the knowledge of ancient yogis.
He served as an instructor in yoga asana, pranayama, meditation and yoga philosophy for the Langara College yoga teacher training program, teaching both in Vancouver and internationally.
He’s trained in Compassionate Inquiry, a somatic-based psychotherapy developed by Dr. Gabor Mate, which informs his healing work as both a yoga teacher and holistic counselor.
He has co-created a program for healing attachment trauma called “Patterns to Presence”, with behavioural scientist Sabrina Lakhani.
He studied Ati-Yoga under Wisdom Master Maticintin, founder of HUMUH : Clear Mind Buddhism and his spiritual teacher for the last decade, spending extended periods in the monastery studying meditation, buddhist logic and doing karma yoga.
In 2020 he founded Mystic Yogi and published The Inner Path, a yoga philosophy practice deck with stunning art and contemporary guidance for yoga seekers looking to integrate the 8 limbs of yoga into their life.
Assistant Instructor: Marie Boisvert
Marie initiated her Yoga training in 2008 through the Sivananda Organization, completing a 200-hour YTT in traditional Hatha Yoga. This marked the beginning of her journey into vinyasa-based power yoga, extending to a 300-hour YTT. This advanced training delved into Ashtanga Yoga, offered a profound exploration of anatomy, and fostered creative and informed sequencing.
In 2017, she was awarded a scholarship to study with Ryan Lier, and in 2019, Marie commenced her study of Ayurveda with a 100-hour introductory course under Dr. Sonal Bhatt, M.D. of Ayurveda.
Throughout her studies, Marie developed a profound love for learning and chanting devotional music in the spirit of Bhakti. Her ongoing exploration centers on utilizing Yoga to regulate our nervous systems and coexist harmoniously with our environment.
