About Me

I have always been relatively flexible. It is very easy for me to put my hands flat on the floor while standing/bending over with legs locked. I am into frontbending and am working to be able to do both front and side splits. I am also looking to backbend to balance out my spine.

I am open to all info and suggestions about the best methods to increase flexibility.

*My flexibility is...

...through training/practice.

I practice ...

*Discipline(s)
