GET TO KNOW SOFIA.

THE BENDY LIFE METHOD

Sofia's training method and coaching style is a modernized version of Mongolian Contortion along with flexibility training, weight training and conditioning. Beside the physical aspect of training, Sofia pushes her students to build a strong mindset as well, inspiring them through her own journey (she was not naturally flexible and started later in life) and motivating them to overcome fear and self doubt, which can arise with this challenging type of training. End result is a healthy, functional body able to move freely in its full range of motion, exploring its limits while reducing injury risk, feeling empowered throughout the learning process. Strength, flexibility, coordination, body awareness and balance are developed together with different techniques utilizing bodyweight exercises, ankle weights, elastic bands, gym tools and a whole range of dynamic, active, passive, static, isometric and PNF stretches.

Sofia’s method is also known for being influenced by her past experience as a dancer, which adds to her movement style confidence, unique sensuality and fluidity.
