About us
Elie Zananiri and Maroussia Lévesque founded Digital Spa Inc. in 2002. They met in Mistassini, Quebec, because of a mix-up in their order at the local Burger King. Elie got Maroussia’s Diet Coke instead of his Diet Sprite; and that’s how the adventure of Digital Spa Inc. began.
Elie is a former rocket scientist. After getting his PhD at Harvard in 1997, he set out to discover the roots of human nature in the Amazon jungle. After being lost for 4 months and getting bitten by so many mosquitoes he could make up constellations on his skin, he returned home and decided to never leave the country again.
Maroussia is a trained opera signer. She has performed in many classics such as Carmen, La Traviata and Madama Butterfly, but unfortunately lost her voice while choking on an asparagus. Doctors told her the damage was permanent. She decided to see the bright side of things and realized a life-long dream; smoke like a chimney. When in Mistassini, the harsh weather provided a fertile terrain for the elaboration of Digital Spa Inc.
Faced with growing pain and a decreased quality of life due to long-term exposure to the computer, the pair realized it was time to take the matter into their own hands. Sore eyes, excruciating pain in the neck and wrist tendonitis were a direct consequence of computer use. In order to counter these effects, Elie repurposed some yoga lessons he got at the age of five (his parents were granola).
Digital Spa Inc. specializes in making humans remember they have a body when they are in front of the computer. You cannot neglect your body. Even if you are selling your soul to the devil by doing freelance contracts or working in a cubicle, it doesn’t mean you have to sell your body as well. You know what that would make you…
Computer Yoga is a well-intentioned, well-behaved companion that takes your health seriously.
