From the Congo to the Bay

Born in the Congo, raised in resilience. Master Zi's journey began in Central Africa, where community, discipline, and survival shaped the foundation of who he would become. The Congo taught him strength—the world taught him how to share it.

Before becoming a wellness guide, Master Zi served as security for Digital Underground and toured with Tupac Shakur. He protected legends while learning from them—witnessing artistry, passion, and the cost of fame up close. Those years shaped his understanding of purpose.

After years in the industry, Master Zi traveled to India seeking deeper meaning. There, in the birthplace of yoga and ancient wisdom, he found his true calling. He studied under masters, embraced tai chi, and returned to Oakland with a mission: help others own themselves.

Yoga, tai chi, meditation, and conscious living. But beyond the techniques, he teaches self-ownership. Discipline isn't punishment—it's freedom. His approach blends Eastern philosophy with real-world application, meeting people where they are.

Oakland is home. The Bay Area raised him, challenged him, and embraced him. From the streets to the sanctuary, Master Zi brings wellness to a community that needs it most. Real transformation happens where you plant your roots.

You can't grow what you don't own. Self-mastery starts with self-awareness. Own your thoughts, your body, your choices, your energy. When you own yourself, no one else can. That's true freedom—and it's available to everyone willing to do the work.

A space for seekers, growers, and warriors of peace. The Sanctuary is where Master Zi's students connect, share their journeys, ask questions, and support each other. Multiple rooms for wellness, yoga, life stories, and spiritual growth.
