Dawid left a successful hairdressing career in Poznan to create SOHO Pilates in Wroclaw—a space centred on movement and body awareness.

Why leave hairdressing?

I wanted to create lasting change, not temporary results.

Was it gradual or all at once?

All at once. I changed my career and lifestyle.

Do you miss the salon?

The people, yes. The chaos, no.

What’s harder: hair or body expectations?

The body. Strength and habits take time.

What does SOHO say about you?

It reflects who I really am.

Why this building?

I wanted a place with character where people could slow down.

What surprises people about reformer Pilates?

It’s not stretching—it’s a workout built on control.

Who struggles more: beginners or the already fit?

Usually the fit ones.

Are you selling Pilates or a lifestyle?

Body awareness. Pilates is just the tool.

Finally, what move does everyone secretly hate?

Long Stretch. It looks easy, but it isn’t.
