Series Summary

Though we may not think it about in terms of our everyday lives, we are all contortionists. Whether we are bending over backwards to make a good impression at work or twisting stories around to make ourselves look better, we stretch the truth every which way. Even our bodies are stretched to the limit, reaching to get the recipe that fell behind the fridge or straining to get a wrench on that spark plug under the hood. However, few of us are willing to dedicate our lives to contortion, to become an ist beyond our chance encounters. In this series of videos, our expert contortionist demonstrates how she can manifest our inner turmoil and outer frustrations in bizarre poses and spine-defying moves .

Professional gymnast Hayley Holmes demonstrates how to become a contortionist with several stretching exercises, handstands, splits and basic moves borrowed from yoga and ballet. She tells you how and why she became interested in contortionism and suggests career options should you become interested as well. And best of all, she twists into some truly amazing positions right before your eyes.
