Feel the Flow
What is Élan Flow?

Élan Flow is more than a studio.
It is a space of movement, mindfulness, and inner connection.
A place where the body is not judged, but perceived.
Where movement does not mean performance, but expression, presence and vitality.
Élan Flow is aimed at people who want to move consciously – with elegance, depth and a fine sense of themselves.
Here, moments of calm arise within the flow of movement, new energy and a feeling of inner balance.
No gym.
No place of pressure.
But a space where you can simply arrive.

Philosophy

At the heart of Élan Flow is the connection between body and soul.
Every hour is an invitation to rediscover yourself – mindfully, calmly and at the same time powerfully.
It's not about perfection.
It's about feelings.
To the ability to feel at home in one's own body.

The creation of Élan Flow

Kirill Kourlaev, MA

Managing Director

Behind Élan Flow lies a long artistic and pedagogical experience and the desire to create a special space. Kirill is the founder of Élan Flow, a former principal dancer of the Vienna State Ballet, and an experienced choreographer and teacher. For over 16 years, he performed as a leading soloist, shaping numerous productions with his artistic expressiveness and technical precision. He danced in the world-famous New Year's Concert at the Vienna State Opera, participated in the opening of the Vienna Opera Ball, and performed in international gala concerts with ballet stars. His comprehensive training includes a master's degree in ballet pedagogy and direction—begun at the renowned Vaganova Academy in St. Petersburg and completed at the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv, where he also teaches. He has been working in the field of dance for more than 25 years and possesses a profound understanding of all facets of this art form—from technical precision to artistic interpretation and stage presence. For many years, he worked with children, teenagers, and families in Vienna, managing a children's ballet school and several other locations. This experience gave him a keen sense for the needs of modern people—for the desire for quality, depth, and mindful connection with their own bodies. But at some point, the desire for something new arose. For a space for adults. A place where movement is not just training, but a genuine, personal experience. Élan Flow today This is how Élan Flow came about—a space for people who want to move beautifully, feel more deeply, and reconnect with themselves. A place where movement becomes art and time becomes a gift. Here, you don't have to be perfect. You don't have to achieve anything. You don't have to prove anything. You can simply be. This studio is for everyone who longs for gentleness and strength, for elegance and freedom, for connection and flow. Every detail has been carefully designed—to support, inspire, and carry you. If you are looking for a place where movement feels real, conscious and meaningful, you are most welcome here.
