From international fencing competitions to personalized Pilates in Delray Beach, Maria Mouchanova brings decades of athletic training, teaching and dedication to her clients.
Maria was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, where her passion for sports began in childhood. A competitive fencer, she competed at Cadet and Junior World Championships in Bonn, Germany (1991) and Denver, Colorado (1993).
