I have been working on my flexibility for years and I was also training with weights. However, I always felt stuck between being strong and being flexible. I felt like I didn’t have the knowledge to properly combine strength training with flexibility. I had been following Sofia for many years before I finally decided to reach out to her — and I am so glad I did. Sofia has a unique way of combining strength and flexibility, and for the first time, I can truly see amazing results in my practice. I have been working with her for 1.5 years now through her 1:1 program. I have also completed some of her courses and had the chance to meet her in person at her Miami camp. Through her guidance, I have gained a deep understanding of flexibility, built a solid and sustainable practice, and feel more confident than ever. She is strict, but also compassionate, and truly cares about the progress of her students. I am truly excited to continue evolving and to explore the next stage of my practice under her guidance.

I started working with Sofia to ensure I had proper guidance as I returned to training after a groin tear — and not only did I fully regain my middle splits, I got my over-middles back as well! What I love most about her approach is that longevity and health are always at the forefront of her training. It’s not just about hitting tricks; it’s about developing a loving, respectful relationship with your body that allows you to progress sustainably. Another thing that truly sets Sofia apart is that she learned contortion as an adult — and this is critical. Training something this extreme from the ground up in an adult body is very different from starting as a child. Coaches who have always been able to “just do it” don’t always have the ability to clearly explain progressions or hold space for the time it takes the body to open. Sofia fully honors each student’s individual process. Sofia’s knowledge of anatomy and intelligent training techniques far surpasses that of most other “experts” I’ve encountered — whether conventional fitness trainers, chiropractors, or physical therapists — many of whom don’t truly understand the movements and the demands of this kind of training. She is the only contortion coach I know who consistently emphasizes the importance of cross-training strength with weights and integrates it directly into her teaching. It’s the difference between feeling like your body is “done” bending at 30 and continuing to train well into what others call their golden years. I cannot recommend Sofia enough.

Working with Sofia over the past six months has been an absolute game changer for my flexibility and contortion practice. We met twice a month, and even with that frequency, I saw massive progress after every single session. When I started, I couldn’t comfortably kick up into a chest stand and was relying almost entirely on my lower back, with very limited upper-back engagement. My main focus for the program was chest stands and deeper back flexibility, and Sofia guided me toward that goal with so much clarity, precision, and care. Step by step, all the things that felt blocked or unsafe at the beginning completely shifted, and my technique, strength, and confidence improved dramatically. Sofia’s work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to make every session incredibly effective made the whole experience more than worth the investment. I genuinely couldn’t recommend her enough.

Sofia is one of the best contortion coaches worldwide.

I’ve been working with her for about 2 years and I see progress even in my 40’s.

She is so inspiring, amazing, such an athlete - and always friendly. Lessons with her are so much fun.

She has a deep understanding of the adult body and can help students at any flexibility level.

Having the opportunity to train and learn from Sofia has changed so much my own body and how I approach my teaching to others. Being able to learn the art form of contortion and also conditioning, strength, mobility and flexibility required for different areas of the body, and for adults. She has a detailed eye and takes time to listen and explain movement in a way that is appropriate and approachable for all levels and she creates such a great energy environment and gave me the tools to continue with my own training.
