i believe they begin training before their tendons and ligaments become hard and maintain the suppleness thru constant training.

By stretching every day and really trying, you can become flexible. Really put your mind into it and when you think something hurts just tell yourself it doesnt. Of corse dont really torture yourself. Just push yourself a little further than you can go. She makes that position look so easy! I wish i could do that.

Hello !

WoW x
Thats Amazing!
She Is So0o0o Flexi!

xXx ♫ Lotsa Luv From Cheryl ♫ xXx

Thats like really extreme. It looks so painful! She is defanitly double joined.

I know it is Irina Kazakova on the picture, and she is really bendy, yeah soooo benfy! I wish I could do that

i don't know why everyone is freaking out and calling her double-jointed, gross and that she's missing a rib and everything. a lot of people could do that, it just takes patience, discipline, and lots and lots of stretching. it's not hurting her! she's just very flexible from lots of stretching.

if you really think everybody can do that - would somebody please start to push me right now!

my back just started throbbing looking at that. wow im proud of myself for doing a bridge hahah

I know for a fact that contortionists who work for Cirque du Soleil do not train only 2-3 hours LOL.. some of my friends parents trained gymnasts who are now in Cirque and I know people who have thought about it, and the hours are very long.. i'm not sure on the exact amount of hours, but i'm pretty sure it's somewhere around 5- 8 hrs a day.

that is TOTALLY and completly AWESOME!!!!

I think that you replace muscle in certain parts for flexibility, but she is way too flexible.

i reckon shes probably been training for this every day since she was three i would love to be that bendy
luv shell

Ulzibar Chimed the contortionist from Alegria, Cirque du Soleil, was absolutely correct when she said contortionists have a normal back that is just flexible. Extreme back flexibility comes either from genes, hard work, or both. As for Anna (the girl in the pic), the question is: Is she a contortionist or a gymnast? No matter really. What she and others are able to do is truly an art form. Thanks for sharing the pic.

You should go to dancers and Advice then look at streaching! I mean that's is flexible but there is this girl who can like twist her body in weird ways, forgot her name!
