Backbend Progressions

Service Description

Backbend Progressions is designed to help you unlock deeper, more effortless backbends by focusing on the key areas that make all the difference—your hips and shoulders. By improving mobility and flexibility in these areas, your backbends will feel lighter, freer, and more controlled.

Let's get bendy! 🥨 Victoria's coaching approach with contortion/flexibility is the slow way is the fast way. Back to basics is always a good thing. You can’t progress as far by skipping basics. You only get one body, so why rush into those advanced moves and get hurt? When you start training with Victoria, it may feel slow and repetitive, but in a few months/years when you’ve understood the basics and are ready to move on to more advanced training, your body will feel better about it! If you want to achieve contortion skills safely, you need to trust in the process and build good habits before advanced training. Interested in advanced training? Advanced training students are required to train about 5-7 hours online and have trained a minimum of 2 years either in group classes or private training.
