Contortionists

I just found out that contortionists are classified as "front-benders" or "back-benders"
Relatively few performers are equally adept at bending both frontwards and backwards.
When it comes to extremes of flex,
people run concave or convex.

  2. Ha! Nah, I was just puzzling over why some people are so good at yoga stretches (unlike me) and I started googling related topics, and was shocked to find out that contortionists came in separate flavors. I've watched contortionists at Cirque de Soleil, and never noticed!
