Flexibility Specialist

I was born naturally relatively flexible. However, during my classical ballet studies in Germany, I found myself surrounded by dancers whose range of movement was extraordinary. How were these people so flexible? It was a mystery to me and I wanted to find out how one could reach this type of extreme flexibility. It looked extremely aesthetic and beautiful to be able to dance with such ease and range of movement. This type of flexibility was never taught in ballet class. It was something that the dancers had to figure out how to achieve on their own. Those who were in professional academies from a young age had discovered how to approach this. There was a certain aura regarding stretching in areas where dancers warmed up and relaxed before or after class. I was already 17 years old when I joined the professional academy though.

Yoga asana was a revelation to me when it came to flexibility. I started practicing it on a daily basis while studying ballet and was absolutely stunned how fast and pain-free I managed to reach my dream-flexibility.

Over time, I developed my own method for achieving extreme flexibility, inspired by both yoga and the way professional ballet dancers approach it. A gentle, intelligent system that works with the body, not against it. Yogis and dancers who work daily with their body, have immense similarities when it comes to the awareness of movement and the awareness of their physical state. In a way, dancers are yogis.

Everyone can become flexible

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not flexible,” you’re exactly the kind of person I can help.

Many of my students began their journey stiff, unsure, or even afraid of movement. Some couldn’t sit on the floor without discomfort. Others couldn’t touch their knees, let alone their toes. But they stayed consistent, trusted the process, and surprised themselves.

My system is calm and structured. There’s no pushing, no adjustments, no straining, no rushing. You don’t have to be young, athletic, or experienced, you only need a little commitment and an open mind.

Within weeks, you may notice new space in your body. Within months, your posture, movement, and confidence may transform.

For the Flexible: Going Beyond Limits Gracefully

If you already have flexibility and want to explore your full potential, I can help you reach what most consider “impossible.”

Whether you’re a dancer, athlete, yoga practitioner, or performer, I specialize in guiding people toward extraordinary range, safely, sustainably, and intelligently. I’ve been through this process myself. I know how to guide the body toward deep opening with care and mindful progression.

Going from flexible to exceptionally flexible is a delicate journey. It requires anatomical precision, balance, and experience. That’s why I work one-on-one, to tailor every movement, every transition, to your structure and goals.

This coaching is ideal for:

Aspiring dancers or performers seeking extreme but safe flexibility

Yogis refining deep postures, such as backbends or splits

Professionals needing tailored attention to progress further

Anyone who has plateaued in their flexibility journey

If you’d like to explore your flexibility, whether from the very beginning or from an already advanced level, I’d be happy to work with you.
