Skyletics – Aerial Arts and Acrobatics Studio in Sofia

Skyletics is a studio specializing in teaching aerial arts , acrobatics , and body practices, located at 56–58 Krum Popov Street , on the third floor of a building in the Lozenets district of Sofia, Bulgaria. The center welcomes children and adults wishing to discover aerial disciplines, progress in their acrobatic practice, or develop their physical and artistic abilities.

A space dedicated to aerial arts

Skyletics has a spacious room equipped for aerial and acrobatic training. The studio states that it uses professional equipment that is regularly inspected and pays particular attention to safety , technical progression, and participant support.

The school caters to both those new to circus arts and those already experienced in acrobatics, dance, gymnastics, or aerial disciplines. Instruction emphasizes the gradual development of skills within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Aerial silks and aerial hoop

Skyletics' two main aerial disciplines are aerial silks , called " sail " in Bulgarian, and aerial hoop .

Aerial silks classes allow participants to discover working on suspended apparatus, including climbs, positions, turns, transitions, and acrobatic sequences. Participants progressively develop arm and back strength , core stability, mobility, and coordination.

Aerial hoop combines suspension work, balances, static figures, transitions, and body expression. Students learn to master their positioning on the apparatus and to create sequences adapted to their level.

These two disciplines are offered to adults as well as children , with different rates and specialized teachers.

Handstands and acrobatic preparation

Skyletics also offers instruction in handstands , a fundamental discipline in circus arts and contemporary acrobatics.

This practice develops body alignment, shoulder stability, strength, body awareness, and balance control. It also makes an excellent complement to aerial disciplines.

The studio offers sessions combining aerial acrobatics and handstands . The team includes Diego Contreras , who is presented as an instructor in both disciplines.

Acroyoga and acrobatics in pairs

Another important specialty of Skyletics is acroyoga , a group practice combining partner acrobatics, lifts, balance, mobility and trust work between partners.

Participants discover different positions for base and flyer, as well as the essential role of belaying . The sessions promote communication, cooperation, precision of movement, and body awareness.

In addition to regular classes, Skyletics hosts duo and group acrobatics workshops . The 2026 programs notably covered standing lifts, dynamic transitions, choreographic sequences, Icarian throws and various group acrobatics techniques.

The studio also organizes open sessions, structured by the community's rules of practice, called " jams ", allowing participants to practice, exchange ideas and progress together.

Aerial yoga and calisthenics

Skyletics complements its circus offering with aerial yoga classes on hammocks and calisthenics .

Aerial yoga uses a suspended fabric to support movements, working on mobility, balance, and body awareness. It is particularly suited to people wishing to discover a physical activity using aerial apparatus without necessarily practicing stage acrobatics.

Calisthenics is based on bodyweight strengthening exercises. It helps improve strength, core stability, and muscle control, qualities useful for progress in aerial and acrobatic disciplines.

Children's classes and family activities

Children play an important role in the studio's programming. Skyletics offers aerial silks and hoop classes adapted for young practitioners.

The establishment also organizes occasional activities allowing parents and children to discover aerial arts together. In March 2026, special workshops were held for families focusing on aerial silks and hoops, with participation open to children over seven years old.

These sessions encourage the discovery of movement, confidence, coordination and the pleasure of practicing an artistic activity as a family.

A team of specialist professors

Skyletics presents a teaching team that brings together speakers from different disciplines.

Diego Contreras teaches aerial acrobatics and hand balances. Agi Nikolova , Dana Georgieva , Emilia Igneva , Gabriela Aleksova , Ina Zheleva and Poli Yondeva are among the teachers associated with aerial silks.

The diversity of this team allows the studio to offer complementary practices, ranging from aerial initiation to acrobatics in partnership.

Internships, events and international meetings

Skyletics is not limited to weekly classes. The studio organizes and hosts specialized workshops , gatherings for practitioners, photo shoots, and artistic events.

In 2026, its programming notably included acrobatics courses with international speakers, workshops devoted to dynamic lifts and Icarian throws, as well as an Acro Camp weekend bringing together training, exchanges and group sessions.

The studio also offers artistic experiences around fabric and aerial hoop, sometimes organized outdoors, as well as private lessons associated with photographic sessions.

Some activities take the form of community gatherings or one-off events, while others are part of the regular teaching offering.
