Chris Heria training with Jasi Svilenova

Welcome to Sofia, Bulgari where Chris meets up with Jasi Svilenova right in the neighborhood where she grew up - and in the very same park where she began her calisthenics training. Born Jasmina Svilenova, she started calisthenics at the early age of ten, excelling in the sport, winning titles and championships. She is known for her exceptional strength and her skills. Her mindset and consistency are key factors to her success.

Today, they share their passion for the sport over a workout session and are joined by her brother, Hivo, at the bars. From there, they head out to grab a bite and they continue talking about her motivation to start calisthenics, her training, meteoric rise at such an early age, her diet and much more. At only nineteen, her goal is to inspire people and share her knowledge and love for the sport: and she is already doing that, coaching kids at the very gym where she first trained and continues to train!

We know that Jasi has already left her mark in the sport she loves —a legacy of strength, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of calisthenics.
