Maria moved to the United States with her family in 1992 from Bulgaria (Eastern Europe). At age 16, Maria became the youngest group instructor at a private gym in Athens, GA. For the past 25+ years, Maria has taught group classes in various formats – high/ low, step, spinning/ cycling, Zumba, kickboxing, body pump/ body works. Maria was introduced to Pilates in 2012. She fell in love with the method combining not only strength but also flexibility and fluidity.
Maria completed a 600-hour Romana's Pilates certification in 2013, and has been teaching Pilates ever since. Maria is currently the proud owner of a boutique classical Pilates studio, which she founded in Oct'17, in Atlanta, GA.

Outside of Pilates, Maria stays busy balancing family and entrepreneurial life. Maria’s favorite job is being a mom of her little girl, Sofia. Maria enjoys learning, working out, dancing, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
