Join us for 4.5-7 hours of contortion training per day. In this intensive we will cover all fundamentals and progressions for levelling up in your contortion training. We will break down the components and barriers to leg flexibility, back flexibility, and shoulder flexibility. We will cover active flexibility, nerve flossing, proper warmup and cooldown for contortion training -and for the longevity of your body. We will increase your leg, back, shoulder and neck flexibility while maintaining and increasing strength. This intensive is for all levels from beginners to professional contortionists.

In this intensive, we will be working on fundamental contortion skills such as leg scales, chest stands, bridges, elbow stands, contortion handstands and handstand progressions, catch ankles, triple fold, split mountain, elbow bridge press, bridge press, handstand push ups, one arms, back leg scales, and more! 

We will also work on transitions, contortion sequences and endurance training, and unique or requested contortion moves such as crazy legs, or moves that you need for pole or whatever your primary circus discipline is!

We will also cover infusing contortion into your primary discipline if it’s not contortion, and industry insights and advice for those performing contortion professionally.
