What our certified coaches have to say.

  • First of all, I loved the 8 weeks certification course : I feel it was very well structured and fully explicatory on both the anatomical and progression/regression of the flexibility exercises. During these 8 weeks I’ve learned a lot and I feel I now have a better teaching structure and a better “eye” for my students' needs/limitations and variations. I also want to say that having a blueprint and knowing exactly the step by step has, first of all, made me more aware of the mistakes people tend to make but also realized that keeping things simple and well done is always the winning game! So thank you for teaching me all of this, I am very grateful. I loved it and I feel so much more prepared and knowledgeable as a coach myself. I truly appreciate Sofia’s work, already looking forward to level 3/4! Please save me a slot already!

  • I think Sofia really helped me understand more weight lifting - that I either stopped doing or never really understood how to implement in my bendy body. Also I like how she also explained how to be a good coach - and that it's not just what you know or what you can do, but adapting the material for others and maintaining a positive training space.

  • It was great to have the opportunity to learn more about Sofia's approach to teaching and connect with other coaches too! I really valued the strength aspect of the course, I come from a circus / aerial background rather than PT, so understanding some of the more gym style movements and how these relate to contortion was really beneficial. I also loved being able to delve more deeply into the anatomy of contortion training.

  • New List ItemSofia has incredible knowledge - bringing together biomechanics, strength and contortion to coach in a way that promotes sustainability and a healthy consistent practice.

  • Being Sofia’s student for two years, I felt I couldn’t miss her first teacher training course. And I’m so glad I didn’t. It was a great experience overall: we dived into the anatomy of the human body, understanding why and when to use specific strengthening and conditioning exercises. We learned how to warm up properly and how to create a complete contortion class while ensuring safety for students of all levels. By the end of the course, I felt confident enough to go out there and start teaching what I had learned. Sofia’s classes and courses also foster a supportive and cheerful community, and I’m very proud to be a part of it. I’m truly grateful for everything I learned and for being part of such an inspiring community.
