by Sofia Venanzetti
CONTORTION COACH AND FLEXIBILITY SPECIALIST FOR THE BODY AND MIND.
Sofia’s journey into fitness and movement started more than 20 years ago with weight training and Bodybuilding. At the age of 27, she came across Mongolian Contortion.
Learning about this new discipline was a critical turning point for Sofia. Initially her main objective was implementing some flexibility to her practice and never imagined nor desired becoming a contortionist.
Discovering a completely new way of training, at an age most people would never consider appropriate, made her realize how much we tend to underestimate the body's ability to adapt, learn and change. A key factor in gaining such considerable range of flexibility at a later age was creating a method that fit the adult body, which needs to be challenged yet to feel safe through injury prevention practices, correct warm up, conditioning and gradual exercise progression.
In the last years, while fine tuning her Contortion training, Sofia passion shifted toward mastering the mind. By developing a new sense of awareness and presence within herself through different studies and practices, she has been able to elevate her training in a whole new way. Sofia believes the body follows the mind and more than anything, a limitless mindset is the catalyst to create a limitless body.
Today, Sofia inspires and teaches people of all ages how to unlock their body and mind's potential through her effective techniques drawn from her extensive training experience and always looking to improve her knowledge for herself and her clients.
