Working with Maria is like taking a breath of fresh air. She helped me connect to my body in a way I've never connected before and gave me immediate relief from hip pain I've had for many years. She did this through a virtual session with me online. She notices the most subtle issues in how your body is misaligned, and she can guide you to realign with gentle moves that are far more powerful than they seem while you perform them. In mere minutes, I was walking better, and in less than two hours, I could feel my hip go back into place with a relaxed feeling I seldom feel in that hip.

Maria is a very talented multimodal healer!

It’s amazing how 2 repetitions of an exercise, done with the correct alignment, can increase your strength more than 50 done misaligned. But the added benefit of increased mobility and aligning your mind develops a sense of lightness and flow that permeates your entire life.

Unforgettable Retreat of a Lifetime!

I returned from one of the most extraordinary retreat experiences in Bulgaria with Maria Angelova.

The moment you meet Maria, you are greeted by an incredibly warm, friendly and caring individual.

The retreat was an immersive experience focusing on Movement - Pilates and Mindset with the goal of improving one's physical, mental and emotional health.

Maria will meet you where you are on your journey of transformation and guide you on the path to becoming the person you want to be.

The mindset sessions were an awakening for me. During these sessions, we shared life experiences in a safe and welcoming environment and, in the process, discovered clarity of thought with liberation of rigid beliefs.

The retreat was meticulously curated with the utmost personal attention to detail including world-class accommodations, food and activities.

We hiked up the Pirin Mountains (spectacular!), visited a Bulgarian monastery and had daily walks into town learning about the local culture, people and history.

The retreat also allowed me to meet phenomenal women where we cultivated connection, fellowship and friendships, made possible by Maria's innovative approach to wellness.

Maria created the space and opportunity for us all to explore ourselves, to celebrate authenticity and to learn to let go.

This retreat nourished my soul, and I left with greater awareness, confidence, and gratitude in my personal journey in developing a "strong body and calm mind”.

The Angelova Method works. Thank you, Maria!

It's delightful & refreshing working with Maria on the mat. Her knowledge of the body & passion for people makes the pilates experience a welcome practice (workout). She encourages me to develop & move in alignment, avoiding compensation. Several of the practices can be tough cause Pilates is no joke, but her methods, the Angelova way, make the sessions enjoyable & fun.
As a senior, it's a welcome experience. I'm excited & inspired as I take my time on the mat to flow with movements and to glow in life!
Thank you Maria!

I love doing Pilates with Maria! I took Pilates with her prior to my pregnancy and up until the very end of my pregnancy. Maria was able to help me still find/use my abs past 30 weeks pregnant and always made sure my body was comfortable doing the exercises. Maria showed me many exercises to do at home prior to labor and helped me with exercises when my feet were very swollen! Just because you are pregnant does not mean you need to stop taking Pilates from Maria. These one on one sessions have helped me so much with understanding the changes of my body, correct posture and overall wellness during my pregnancy.

Maria at Rebellious Studio spoke to our group of women real estate agents, and I was completely blown away by her positive energy and the way she connects with people. She is so smart and empathetic, and the lessons she shared from her own journey were incredibly valuable. What really stood out to me was how passionate she is about self-care, wellness, and movement—she truly lives what she teaches. This was so helpful for us as women entrepreneurs, balancing so much in our personal and professional lives. You can feel her authenticity, and her message leaves you inspired to not only take care of yourself but to push forward with purpose and confidence. She’s a pro at what she does, but more importantly, she speaks from the heart, and it shows. I walked away motivated and so grateful for her time with us.

Maria is a fantastic Pilates instructor, with tremendous passion for fitness, and well being. After a chiropractor visit I was left with serious back pain that I was able to control only with pain killers and ice. She understand the body so well that in my first session she helped me alleviate my back pain that was lingering for a week and I am now pain free! I honestly cannot believe that but it is true! I feel so much better now and happier, and I have Maria to thank for that. She is highly recommended.

After 20 years of private Pilates training (in one of the best Pilates studios in Atlanta) and countless mat classes, Maria taught me form. This brings Pilates to a whole new level.

Maria also had to help me get rid of my bad habits, which supposedly very good private trainers never did.

Training with Maria changed the appearance of my body and helped me with all my problems with my neck, back and knees.

I am in my 70s, and my body has never looked better!

I reached out to Maria looking for her guidance and expertise in wellness and alignment. I have been working out on and off, but not with the results I was looking for. I needed someone to watch me and guide me in moving correctly and actually having correct alignment to make the workout count. Working with Maria I was able to set a foundation for my movement that will help me build on more effective exercising/workouts. She is extremely knowledgeable and observant and customizes her approach based on individual needs. She works with you step by step and ensures that you get the depth of the movement and through repeats you are working towards perfecting it. She is extremely patient and really cares about each one of her clients. She puts in a lot of time to ensure all your questions are answered and that you are getting the results you are looking for. I also appreciate her encouragements along the way, and her check-ins. She is amazing at what she does! I learned a lot from Maria and I hope I can make her proud by continuing building on the foundation she helped me set. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to deepen their understanding of correct movement and proper alignment when exercising. I really appreciate all her efforts and dedication. She truly cares about your progress and success. Thank you, Maria for sharing your expertise and carrying!

I am truly blessed to have met Maria Angelova. Her kindness makes you feel instantly welcome, and it is very evident how much she cares about her clients and cultivates a passion for Pilates and functional movement. Her knowledge of the human body, both acquired and intuitive, is extremely impressive, and she truly customizes each session to each individual client. What I also like about her is that she has an amazingly positive and empowering mindset that is sure to impact you in your interactions with her. I've worked out with many Pilates instructors, but Maria is a cut above the rest and it is a true pleasure to call her my colleague (I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Yoga Teacher). I wish Maria happiness and success!

Knowing Maria is absolutely life-changing! Her focus on mindset is so infectious and her positive energy really radiates. We are all guilty of unhealthy thinking habits with our minds and bodies, and having the right energy around you means everything (finding your “tribe”, as Maria calls it!). I would highly recommend her as a speaker and coach, if you want to inject some positivity and warmth. Thanks so much for all you do!

My mother-in-law and I both did 6 months of one-on-one Pilates coaching with Maria and were very pleased and impressed with her approach! She is kind, positive, and very interested in making sure you really understand why proper form is so important. She has forever changed how I understand my body and its strength, and as a result I now move differently throughout my life (including running, lifting, walking, etc.). Maria also helped my mother-in-law immensely in recovering from a very difficult health scare. I recommend her both for movement-as-medicine needs and for performance-focused individuals wanting to really understand Pilates and core strength. Thanks Maria!

Every day to write a review and to express my gratitude to Maria will not be enough. Her Pilates and mindset program impacted my whole life in the most positive, profound and delightful way. Two years later, I know how to overcome obstacles, devote more time for movement and put boundaries. Maria helped me gain more confidence, make more space for accomplishing my goals and realizing what is really important for me at that moment. I’d continue working with her not only for her enthusiasm, professionalism, but also for all the great people that are part of the rebellious tribe.

I've had the pleasure to hear Maria speak for two separate events, and she is fabulous! By listening to her share her own story and then watching how she inspires others to reflect within, she opens the door for authenticity and a safe place to share and begin a journey of transformation. She is also one who "walks the walk" and "talks the talk"! She truly lives her message in all aspects of her life, which is evident in her interactions with others along with her social media presence. She truly wants to help others in their personal journey of wellness, and it shows! I'm looking forward to booking her for a "Women's Wellness" series with my synagogue's Sisterhood organization.

I have struggled with back pain from on old work injury for nearly ten years. With the birth of my second child who came via cesarean, I had an episode with my back that landed me bed ridden for four consecutive days. Once I was able to stand again, I was on a journey to wellness starting with the orthopedic surgeon. Unfortunately, that experience left me feeling hopeless that I would ever be healed. It felt like all the doctor wanted to do was prescribe medication which wasn’t the route I was looking for.

I ended up finding a Myofasical therapist who treated me and highly recommended Pilates to strengthen my core. As they say, every back has a front which I was clearly lacking. Pilates was just what I needed to regain control over my life once again. I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into and that this was the answer to healing.

I thought I was just signing up for dreadful workouts for a short period of time to get me back up to speed. Wrong! From the very first consult with Maria at Rebellious Studios, I knew I was in good care and that my wellness journey ended with her. She spent intentional time getting to know my current pain issues, my goals for the future, my intentions with the program and even provided a preview on what pilates movement was all about.

After my first physical training session, I was invited to her Growth Mindset weekly training which I had no idea I was investing into. This mental work was not something I would have normally been open too nor did I realize that it was desperately needed. Through these weekly teachings, coupled with her physical training sessions, this has been the ticket to unlocking mind body awareness that has exponentially impacted my life physically, mentally and professionally.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Maria at Rebellious Studio International! You're in for a life changing experience if you put in the work she provides!!

Maria’s Pilates and Group Mindset sessions have been a lifesaver during the pandemic. She has been extremely supportive, thoughtful, and encouraging during each meeting. I’ve been an athlete my whole life and after suffering from an ACL tear, Maria helped me realise that I’ve been holding myself back in so many ways as I’ve been afraid to injure myself again. She started off very slow and patient while I learned the foundation of pilates; I’ve accomplished so much more than I thought I could in the past 6 months of working with her. Not only has my body become stronger, but I have found that my perspectives have changed as well. She’s taught me how to respect my worth in everyday situations, from family and friend relationships to a healthy work/life balance. The group sessions have reminded me that I’m not alone in the goals I’ve set for myself; we keep each other accountable. I am incredibly grateful to have found her program, and highly recommend it for everyone who wants to build a healthy lifestyle.

As her name suggests, Maria Angelova is a Godsend gift! A truly enlightened person, who can help us all discover our true selves and show us how to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives. In our fast paced daily routine, often we forget that sometimes we just need to slow down, take a break and breathe. We underestimate the importance of taking care of ourselves so much that we don't even know how to do it any more. Maria is an inspiring guide to reconnecting with our selves and achieving mind-body-spirit coherence. I strongly recommend all of her services or even just hanging out with her :)!

I signed up for the Women’s Badass retreat on Tybee Island with Maria (Rebellious Intl) and Sarah (Unique Wellness Studio). I am definately not the same woman who showed up there on Thurs! Maria and Sarah are a dynamic pair..their approaches, expertise, and spiritual qualities really complement each other! The guided meditations, movement exercises, journaling, group sharing opened my heart like never before. We were 6 strangers who within 1/2 day all mattered to each other! The honesty, love and openess took us all to new higher levels of spiritual understanding and consciousness. The retreat location was ideal..the meals (by chef Michael) were healthy, quality, expertly prepared and presented, catering to all dietary needs and preferences. Meals were a lively time of continuing to get to know each other, and many belly laughs!! I encourage any spiritually curious seekers to sign up when they offer their next retreat. I will be basking in the glow of these Badass women for many weeks to come. Thank you both for sharing your light!!

I LOVE this place! I have been taking private Pilates in NY and LA, but the workout with Maria Angelova is by far THE BEST! The program is customized for you and your body, Maria is always careful to monitor and gently correct me so I get the most out of my class. Our sessions are always a great workout and she is constantly mixing things up so I’m challenged and don't get bored. If you go to one of her classes it is guaranteed that you will work hard, but you will leave energized and refreshed after each session.
