I have been going to Black Swan for about 4 months. Usually I train with Vassi or Elitsa and they are always very attentive, put a lot of attention into details, and encourage me to understand but also challenge my own body. What started as a trial (because I never did pilates before), has been a staple to my routine and something I enjoy a lot.

От близо 3 години посещавам The Black Swan Pilates, Място, което израстна пред мен. Благодарение на всеотдайността на Ели, на упоритостта й, на вниманието към детайла, на изключителната й съпричастност и емпатия, които влага към всеки един дошъл в студиото, на страхотни екип, тя превърна това Място, в Място за тялото и душата!!!! Благодаря!

I absolutely love the Black Swan Pillates studio! The instructors are incredibly experienced and truly attentive — they notice every little detail to make sure your form and technique are perfect. You can tell they genuinely care about helping each person get the most out of every session. The studio itself is cozy, welcoming, and has such a calm, positive atmosphere that makes you look forward to every class. It’s the perfect place to challenge your body, relax your mind, and feel amazing afterward. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend the studio! I have tried a few different places in Sofia and The Black Swan is by far my favorite. I usually see Vassi, but all the instructors are well trained and knowledgeable. This is especially important to me since I deal with chronic back pain. We have slowly found exercises that reduce my pain and increase my strength!

I have trained several times at Black Swan Pilates. The initial idea was to improve my flexibility, but after 2 sessions I found myself able to look into the mirror which I have profound fear and dislike, braving myself to check my posture and did the exercises as correctly as I could. It was life-changing indeed. Many thanks to Teodora who is so caring and understanding.
