Fluid Flow Pilates and Yoga with Maria

Movement as medicine and meditation 🩵Certified Prana Vinyasa Yoga and Pilates teacher 🧜🏼‍♀️Co-founder of Tonic Pilates Collective

Fluid Flow is a result of more than 15 years search and experience of different styles of yoga and pilates. Fluid is the best word that describes the way I teach...smooth transitions and constant flow. I combine yoga and pilates, because I think they complement each other, like yin and yang...movement with control in pilates and freedom and openness in yoga. For me its beyond exercise, its a reflection of the way I look at life...a constant flow of energy, a constant movement, change...Like the waves of a gentle ocean..coming in and out of tide.

Sometimes, less really is more. 🌀

With so much information out there — treatments, supplements, therapies, and advice — it’s easy to feel like you are not doing enough.
But often, the overwhelm (and lack of results) comes not from doing too little… but from doing too much.

Take a moment to check in —
✨ What actually feels good in my body?
✨ What feels nourishing for my nervous system and for my soul?
✨ Is my movement practice making me feel recharged… or drained?
✨ Do I really need all these appointments, all these therapies?
✨ Where can I simplify?

Because when your wellness routine starts to feel like another thing to manage, it stops being supportive.

The world is already too much — you don’t need to be.

I’m a great believer that through movement, we can release so much — tension, emotion, energy — and come home to a place of balance and flow within.

It’s not about doing more — it’s about feeling more. 🌀

We need rest and flow just as much as we need structure and routine. 🌊✨

As the school holidays come to an end and life begins to settle back into rhythm, it’s the perfect time to carve out space for you.

Time to reconnect, to move with awareness, to fill your own cup — so you can show up feeling balanced, nourished, and whole.

Back to your body, your breath, your flow.
Self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s your foundation. 💫

These days, we are blessed with choice. Classes online, in studios, in living rooms, community spaces, one-to-one… so many doors to walk through, so many teachers to learn from. And yet the question lingers — how do you choose?

For me, it’s never about the cheapest price or the quickest option. It’s about TRUST. It’s about being drawn to a teacher who doesn’t just teach movement, but lives it. Someone whose practice spills beyond the mat, beyond the equipment, and weaves itself into the way they move through life.

Because movement, for me, is not a task or a workout. It is a way of being. It’s medicine. A remembering. A devotion to living in my body and meeting myself fully, over and over again.

As a Yoga and Pilates teacher, this is what I long to offer too. Not just a class, but a space. A moment in your day to feel held, inspired, connected — to your body, to your breath, to yourself. To invite you to live in your body more fully.

So when I choose a class, I choose authenticity. I choose passion. I choose the spark that awakens something deeper within me. And when I guide a class, that is what I strive to give in return. 🌀

If these words land with you, I’d love to welcome you into practice. And I’m curious… how do you choose?

There are seasons for sharing and shining, and seasons for soft retreat. ✨
When life feels busy and loud, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause, listen inward, and trust that what wants to unfold will do so in its own time.

We don’t bloom all year round, and neither does our creativity. Some projects can wait—resting quietly until the moment is ripe. As the school holidays begin, I’m leaning into slower mornings, family time, and the gentle juggle of work and play, fun and structure, housework and sunshine.

It’s all part of the rhythm of life—expansion and rest, creation and pause, joy in the in-between. 🌙 🌀

Two years ago, I had the honour of guiding the yoga practices for one of .hine retreats.

A few months later, I bumped into one of the women who attended the retreat at the beach. She was visiting the region and recognised me and came over for a chat. With tears in her eyes, she said:

“The practice you shared was so deep and powerful. The words you said really touched me and I was finally able to release something I have been holding onto for a very long time.”

We hugged, and I gently told her:
“You were ready. You have already been doing the work — perhaps my words and the depth of the practice were just the final drop that allowed your body to physically release and the river of emotions to flow free.” 🌊

Moments like these remind me of the depth and the transformative power of this practice, and how it moves far beyond the mat. 🌀

I’m deeply looking forward to once again hold space and guide the yoga practices for .hine ‘s retreat this weekend at the beautiful , and to be supporting the powerful work she continues to share with women. ✨

Why I choose Prana Vinyasa Yoga 🌊🌀

In a world overflowing with information, opinions, and quick-fix trends, it’s easy to feel lost.
For me, the way through is not more noise — it’s embodiment. It’s coming back to what feels real, what feels alive in my body and heart. Not what looks good on a screen, not what’s popular and trendy, but what resonates in my bones.

Prana Vinyasa is a practice so deep, sometimes it feels impossible to put into words. It calls to me like the ocean’s pulse — a living dance of breath and movement that works on a cellular level. Through energetic alignment and the cultivation of life force energy, Prana, the body finds its shapes, not from effort, but from flow.

This practice is more than just postures or beautiful looking flows. It is moving meditation — a rhythmic unfolding of body and spirit, woven from the sacred threads of Ta**ra, Ayurveda, Bhakti, and ancient wisdom. A language older than words, it whispers through the bones, awakening creativity, healing, and transformation.

I have the honour of studying with , the founder of this lineage, and to be continuing my journey with my incredible teacher and friend, the affiliate Prana Vinyasa teacher trainer for Australia. A journey that continues to unfold, as I dive deeper into the teachings. Gratitude for their wisdom, their teachings, their guidance and support 🪷 Deeply grateful apart of thr global Prana Vinyasa circle ⭕️

In our digital era, where it’s easy to claim a title or claim to create something new, I believe in embodied wisdom and I choose to honour my teachers and the lineage.
Their teachings are the roots beneath my feet, and through them I add my own breath, my own story, my own devotion to the flow. 🌊

Every time I return to the mat, I’m reminded that Prana Vinyasa is not about creating perfect shapes or achieving something external — it is about embodiment. It is entering the sacred space where strength becomes fluid, practice becomes devotion, and the life force within radiates through every cell of my being. 🌀

✨ Choreographed Dance and Ecstatic Dance ✨
I love them both, for different reasons — yet both are embodiment practices, ways of inhabiting and expressing the body fully.

Choreographed dance is telling a story through the body — each movement intentional, shaped, refined. It is based on technique, practiced and learned over time, with different styles and schools guiding the form. It requires presence and mindfulness. There’s beauty in the discipline, the artistry, the way structure channels expression, allowing the body to embody story and meaning.

Ecstatic dance, on the other hand, is somatic, is pure freedom — no steps, no rules, no structure. A journey. It’s where you can get lost. It cannot be taught, only awakened and allowed to naturally unfold, through free expression and surrender. Breath, rhythm, and raw movement flow straight from the heart ❤️‍🔥, from deep withinh your soul 🌀, inviting the body to inhabit its fullest, wildest self.

Both pathways are medicine and remind me why I dance: sometimes to shape, sometimes to release… always to connect, always to embody. 🌀💃🏽

The name you are given carries its own frequency — a unique sound, story, and energy that you carry with you through life.
In Orthodox culture, we are often named after saints, and when that saint is celebrated, those who share their name are celebrated too.

Today is one of my favourite Orthodox holidays — The Honouring of Deva Maria — love, light, and remembrance

It falls right in the heart of summer, when everything feels ripe, golden, and overflowing with life.
If I was back in Bulgaria, I’d be visiting my favourite little church by the sea, the scent of salty air and fig trees surrounding me, lighting a candle, and whispering a quiet prayer.
This day carries a certain magic, and I have these beautiful memories of celebrations with friends, laughter, and an abundance of joy.
There’s a feeling to this day that’s hard to put into words — a mix of warmth, longing, and something ancient that lives deep in the heart. (especially here in Australia, where we are almost at the end of winter, and holidays like this aren’t celebrated.)
It always makes me pause… to feel, to remember, and to honour the thread that ties me to my roots, no matter how far I am.
To everyone celebrating today — may your heart be light and your blessings plenty. 🩵✨ 📸 .co

Why I don’t teach trendy Pilates…
When I first started Pilates, I’ll be honest — I didn’t realise just how intelligent this method really is. I didn’t know it could be so deeply transformative.

Over time, I learned there is so much power in simplicity.
The small, precise movements.
The breath.
The way everything is connected.

Complicated flows might look fun and fancy on Instagram, but I always ask myself — what’s the purpose? Are we moving for the look of it… or for the benefit of it?

I didn’t get into Pilates because it was trendy.
I’m not interested in quick results, “Pilates bodies,” or turning the reformer into a gym machine.

I like to stay close to the source — to honour the concept of the method as it was intended.
I’m here for the lifelong practice — for building strength from the inside out, for awareness that grows with you, and for moving with integrity.

I feel really fortunate to practice and teach on classical equipment.
It’s designed to teach the true foundations, and honestly, you can’t do those “fancy” Instagram flows on it… they simply don’t work. And that’s the point — it keeps you honest, connected, and working from your core, and with the core of Pilates itself.

Because too often in big fitness-style classes, the real magic of Pilates is lost.
The breath, the precision, the foundations — replaced by speed and strain.

For me, Pilates isn’t about burning out.
It’s about tuning in — to yourself, your body, your breath.
And that’s what I’ll always teach.
