About Me

I no longer practise extreme stretching like I did before, I simply decided it was too risky at my age. Still I have some flexibility left (human knot still works fine) and still when I stretch at the end of my workout in the gym people tend to start staring... :-)

I've never really seen myself as a contortionist... I discovered I was unusually flexible at age 12 and started to explore what weird positions I could make. It was mainly frontbending. Maybe this was a revenge for being useless at all other sports. But before the Internet there was no way to learn the exercises to develop one's skills, or to get in contact with others with the same interest.

I don't want to end up on the hip and knee replacement list when I am older, do you? or even worse the chiropractors list!
