MissFit Mobility
The 3 Step program to Stunning Flexibility in 12 weeks or less
You're a strong , working woman Devoting time to your Aerial & Pole passions
But your lack of flexibility is holding you back
What if you could have it all?...
Can you relate?
You know you need more flexibility for your aerial and pole practice, but you tell yourself you don't have time
You're sick and tired of trying to force poses that never look as good on camera as you'd hoped
You spend countless hours stretching passivley and getting nowhere
You feel left behind in some classes because your shoulders, hips, back etc. "don't move that way"
Your body is frequently achy because you force poses or "work through the pain" for "the gram"
You're ready to unlock your flexibility potential without pain and without endless, time-wasting passive stretching
And I totally get it
Even I spent years just hanging out in a bridge telling myself that's what I needed to gain flexibility. Afterall, that's what my training looked like as a 10 year old gymnast. That and, of course, my coach would sit on my 10 year old self to get me deeper into my split. But if it worked as a kid, it should work as an adult right? Unfortunately, no. But when I started practicing aerial, flexibility suddenly became important in my life again so I wanted to improve it. But it wasn't just about hitting the gorgeous shapes, I noticed that at age 20 I was already feeling stiff in certain spots or waking up achy. Isn't that crazy? I felt like it was way too early in life for my body to be uncomfortable so something had to change.
I was at the gym regularly already so I started incorporating longer stretching sessions thinking that would get me flexible. It never seemed to have a lasting effect, and progress was very slow. I decided to try yoga classes and follow-along bridge workouts on YouTube, but I found yoga horribly boring and I always finished the YouTube videos in pain and the discomfort in my low back would last for hours and sometimes days. Does this happen to you? Are you a "work through the pain" type? Same, girl, same! At least I was.
One day I finally asked myself why I was hurting myself to get flexible. I knew in my heart there was a better way, and I was determined to find it. I wasn't going to wait around until I injured myself permanently to make a change. I didn't want to take time away from my aerial practice for a stupid injury, and I certainly didn't want my day-to-day life affected by a careless injury.
I started looking for all kinds of flexibility programs and following contortionists, physios, and mobility specialists. I tried multiple flexibility programs (all meh), read a lot about how the muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments all work during movement, and even became a Certified Mobility Coach because it FINALLY clicked. Once I learned about mobility from Hali Holeszowski and Calum Watson through their Flow Motion Fitness courses, it all made sense. For flexibility, we need to expand our range of motion. That range of motion, is controlled by our muscles, and in any stretch, the muscles are only lengthening on one side of the joint. On the other side of the joint, they're contracting and shortening! I had FINALLY put it together. Flexibility needs equal parts muscle lengthening as muscle strengthening. Exciting, right?
So I now knew I could use the principles from mobility training and apply it to my flexibility practice. I knew that I needed to build strength while at my end ranges of motion to protect my joints, and keep myself free of pain. And I knew I didn't love the programming I was seeing and buying on the internet. So I created my own framework for training flexibility. I've ditched the old programs and created one that works for my body and more importantly, will continue to work for my body as I continue to age. And I'm loving it! Sounds awesome?
More exciting though, I've shared my programming with my aerial students and it's working for them too! Yes, I've had to make some tweaks and provide modifications, but the principles stand! In just 3 weeks following my training program, my students were showing me their flexibility progress and telling me that their bodies felt great, their posture was improving and so much more. I'm honestly so excited about these results, my heart is overflowing with joy as I write this. But isn't that the dream? Yeah we want to strike the fancy pose, but a body that feels great is something to celebrate! It has been so rewarding watching them get excited about their progress and how they feel. I love, love, love getting to be their cheerleader on this journey as they transform their flexibility and their bodies. Are you looking for this kind of transformation? Does this sound like something you need in your life? I got ya covered!
So now we know, there are effective ways for adults to earn beautiful backbends and splits. We just need to transform how we train. If you join my tribe of Flexy MissFits, that's exactly what I'll do for you. I'll transform your practice from ineffective stretching, to a practice grounded in strength and mobility training. Think of it as the practical flexibility program for busy women unwilling to compromise their time and health on things that simply do not work. Doesn't that sound like the dream? Maybe "practical" isn't sexy enough for you, but trust me, your results will be.
It's time for a fresh + new way that works
MISSFITS Mobility INCORPORATEs THE BEST PARTS OF MOBILITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND STRENGTH TRAINING TO DELIVER RESULTS.
My programs focus on 3 main principles:
- The individual joints have to increase range of motion to improve overall flexibility. We'll spend time focusing on each joint and using techniques designed to help the joints expand their ranges of motion.
- We cannot safely perform feats of flexibility without strength and stability (gotta protect that gorgeous body of ours or it won't last, we're not 10 anymore!) So we'll also spend time building strength and stability along all the muscles involved. Afterall, in backbends our back muscles are contracting, not stretching!
- Rest days are VITAL but so is DAILY MOVEMENT. Rest days are NOT couch potato days. Flexy MissFits do a 10 to 15 minute mobility flow EVERY DAY to keep their bodies happy and healthy. And don't worry, I give you the mobility flows :)
I'm a firm believer

Hi! I'm Sofia
I'm an aerialist and flexibility coach for busy women, like me, who don't have time to waste on things that don't work. Between my day job, my long list of hobbies - paddling, aerial, wine walks with friends, travel, making clay earrings, etc. - and my sweet relationship... I'm not left with a lot of "spare" time in my day. When I want something - like flexibility for my aerial practice - I dive deep to find the most efficient way to reach my goal. If you want results fast and no-nonsense programming, let's work together! I LOVE helping my students reach their goals! It's honestly been the most fulfilling work I've ever done!... Maybe one day I quit that day job :)
Don't just take my Word for it...
Check out how this system impacted students who were once just like you but decided to take that leap, commit themselves to this process and earn their fabulous flexibility!
Kayleigh's 6 week bridge glow up - check out how much more she pushed off the ground!
Here's what Kayleigh had to say about the program...
“Flexy MissFits has been transformative in so many ways. Not only has my back and shoulder flexibility improved tremendously, but my flexibility in general is better. I have also seen changes in my posture and my core strength, which has had a significant impact on my pole and aerial practice. Sofia explains the exercises so well and places a lot of focus on correct technique to help you get the most out of a training session. She is also great at working around what your body can and can not do. This program is something I plan to keep incorporating into my exercise schedule because the benefits have been amazing”
Alex's 4 week transformation - notice how much more her upper back curls in the second photo!
HERE'S WHAT Alex HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE PROGRAM...
"Sofia's 6 week back program was such a great challenge for me! I love her clear explanations of what specific muscles to contract in each exercise to make it the most effective and the least painful on the body. For example, her program taught me that really activating my glutes and keeping my tummy tucked in can protect the lower back from unnecessary strain during archy movements. It was a nice relief when it actually worked too!
I was already flexible in my back to begin with. Even before being consistent with pole training, I've been naturally flexible in my back since childhood. Through doing these exercises, I became much stronger and mobile in my UPPER BACK and my SHOULDERS. My shoulders have become so much more mobile and flexible since starting this program, and that was something I was really struggling with before. The lack of flexibility in specifically my shoulders would really keep me from reaching some of my pole move goals.
I find that since doing this program, I don't have to put as much effort into back bendy moves in pole. I did a move recently where I touched my foot to my head, and it felt like my foot just glided towards my head with ease. My warm up that day wasn't even very extensive; it was pretty basic. Also, I was never able to hold a bridge for a full minute before starting her program. On the first day, I was only able to hold it and do breathwork for 20 seconds. By the end of the program, I made it to a full minute!
Most importantly, through what I've learned in this program, I've been putting much less strain on my lower back. I've had sciatica since I was 19 (complications with improper form in boxing) and my discomfort has been minimal by doing Sofia's exercises properly. It makes me very happy that I can take what I've learned from this amazing program and bring it into my bendy pole life!"
Lucy's 6 week backbend progress - She was able to flatten her feet and push up further!
Here's what Lucy had to say about the program...
“Sofia’s detailed explanations of which muscles should be activated and how the body should be aligned in each exercise has transformed my understanding of how to approach backbend training. Coming from a starting point of limited backbend flexibility, I can feel a significant difference in how I’m engaging my body in these type of stretches. The program has given me the knowledge to continue making progress in my flexibility goals!"
Arielle's 6 week bridge transformation - Look at how she straightened her legs, opened her shoulders and used more upper back!
Here's what Arielle had to say about the program...
“Ya know the saying "a picture paints a thousand words?" When it comes to this backbend program, I have both pictures and at least a thousand words to describe how much I loved the last six weeks of backbend training.
Every part of Sofia's program focuses on increasing mobility and flexibility. I learned so much about how my body moves and feel empowered with the exercises and knowledge to continue improving my backbend.
When I started the program, my backbend wasn't great. My wrists would hurt because I didn't have the shoulder flexibility and my lower back took a lot of pressure. I definitely wasn't getting my legs straight. Through the last six weeks, I increased flexibility and mobility in my shoulders, hip flexors, and spine. During this program I went from holding abridge for 30 seconds to holding it for 90 seconds, I can get my legs straight, and I even did my first forearm bridge! I have found increased stability and strength in my backbend and lunging backbends.
The program also focuses on core engagement. As someone who has experienced lower back pain for a couple years, the exercises in this program have helped me build good habits to protect my spine.
Through it all, Sofia has been an amazing cheerleader. She answered all my questions, helped me adapt a couple exercises, and shared in my accomplishments. The workouts are engaging, fun, and clearly made with great care. Sofia designed each workout to strengthen and increase mobility through the body, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
It took work and dedication, but I seriously looked forward to my workout every day of this six week program. Whether it's a daily mobility flow or a full 30 or 60 minute session, I'm so excited to continue incorporating these exercises into my weight lifting and aerial workouts. I am so amazed at the change I've experienced in the past six weeks and it's all thanks to this program. ❤️”

Meagan's 3 week splitprogress - She did her first over split
Here's what Meagan had to say about the program...
I loved this program so much! Each week had a clear and achievable goal, and I started feeling an improvement right from the beginning. Not only did this program improve my splits, but I’ve found myself really benefiting from the improvement to my overall leg strength as an aerialist and a dancer. Because of this program, I have my first over-split and I no longer have nerve pain in pike stretches!
Arielle's 6 week split transformation - She got to 180!
Here's what Arielle had to say about the program...
“I started a splits mobility program with the queen, @flexywithfia six weeks ago with the goal of just improving my splits.
While I hoped that I'd get all the way down on at least one side, I was so excited and surprised when it happened today! My legs and hip flexors are stronger, I'm more flexible, my body feels amazing, and I'm going to live for f'ing ever.
Sofia makes it ✨ literally ✨ so easy to follow her splits (& backbend) program. Workouts are 30 + 60 minutes long, with a mix of strength and flexibility exercises. All you have to do is follow along, and believe me, I wouldn't have put in this effort without her guidance.”
