KINTORTION METHOD
Kintortion is a unique educational training method developed by Anya Shevelyuk (aka Bendy Anya) that combines the science of kinesiology with the art of contortion, and elements of ballet, pilates, gymnastics, yoga, resistance training and pre-hab exercises.
The specific techniques of Kintortion use isolated exercises to build strength and control for a large range of motion that can potentially create dramatic movements. These exercises were developed through trial and error testing methods to prevent injury and extend training longevity.
Kintortion teaches the basics of anatomy and physiology to help individuals understand the science behind the movements to improve endurance, strengthen muscles and stabilize joints in order to increase range of motion by way of isolated active-flexibility exercises with potential towards developing contortion level skills.
This unique training method also heavily focuses on recognizing and monitoring early signs of abnormal nerve and muscular sensations that could potentially cause pain, loss of function, or increase your risk of injury.
THE STUDIO
Kintortion & Inversions

Techniques combining the science of kinesiology with the art of contortion, and elements of ballet, pilates, gymnastics, yoga, resistance training and pre-hab exercises are used to gain greater range of mobility for each individuals anatomy.
More advanced techniques focus on active flexibility exercises and tricks like standing splits, backbends and inversions.

& Aerial Conditioning
Aerial is a fun way to gain strength while working towards creating intricate sequences, spins and tricks.
Using your aerial apparatus, you will be guided through warm ups and conditioning drills to gain a clear understanding of hollow body and shoulder engagement.
As you progress, you will begin to learn different entrances, balances and dismounts. Intermediate students focus on poses and transitions in between. Advanced students work toward building sequences as overall strength, flexibility and body awareness improve.
