Stretching Routine

[psxdumy]

wow! i'm inspired. i don't think my body can do all that (yet?)

[DeathOfLadybugs]

Thanks!! I've been looking for some help on a daily stretch routine.

(Brand new to contortion, and only doing it from home sadly)

[MrJopo313]

awesome practice, keep it up!!!

[DeMiRoxmysox02]

do you take classes? youre rellay good! :)

[SweetieWee]

you're amazing! i wish i could be as flexible as you are. amazing.. how do i become as flexible as you are if i stretch everyday for at least an hour a day?

thanks.

[kateseesstars]

i used to train off this video and i got so far! and then i had to stop due to complications :( i've still got some flexibility left though, gonna start training again!

[madilion2]

how i wish i could do what you do...

ima start today!! you inspired me 3 years ago and you again inspire me

[lunazulaivarsson]

Point your toes, young lady!!!

[Celx]

@lunazulaivarsson I know, I know! I didn't use to pay attention to my toes. Now I do, I swear!

[lunazulaivarsson]

@Celx Lovely!!!!

[TheFtnhd]

that is some beautiful stuff.

[Styl3x03]

no lotus strecth ? :(

[THEkpy]

hot!

[kchapfi]

I was just searching for a stretch to follow after playing tennis earlier. Instead I found this lovely little video. You have a wonderful, flexible body and I like how this is shot.

[LadyGaGaMarchof86]

How do you warm up? :)

[bejul2]

WOW! great movie, great song! thanks a lot!!!!

[writemabel]

You make it look so easy!! How long do you stay in the stretches??

[Celx]

@writemabel Depending on the position i am. I stay between 5 to 20 seconds in easy positions, and 5 to 10 in difficult ones.

[myredflowerable]

@Celx

great really you are great, i do have a question, how can i be like you? i mean is there any stretching excersice for beginner or i can do that even thought i am not experinced? if you have any video for me can you send it to me?

[fateindustry]

upper back gives me the most problems. Any stretches you know are effective? I have only been backbending for 5 months...and im age 19...

[Celx]

@fateindustry you couldlay down on the floor upside down, and push it with your hands and stretch it, but make sure you stretch your upper back and not your waist.

[101rayray11]

@fateindustry if you stand against a door frame hold onto it with ur hands a little above ur head and keep ur legs and butt agaisnt the frame the whole time and just push with ur arms forward, u should feel an upper back stretch

[BrieGDoll]

heyy thanx for the vid I tried to copy you before I went to a workshop for dance and everythign was sooo much eaiser im gonna try do this everyday :)

[GreenApplesAlli]

I have been doing contortion for at least 9 months, but I started to get back spasms , should i keep doing contoriton?

[Celx]

@GreenApplesAlli If you are getting back spasms, then you are probably doing something wrong or there is something you simply aren't doing. If you want you could send me a message telling me a bit of how do you train and for how long. I'm not an expert, but maybe I could help you out.

[noodlez4me]

@Celx can u make a video on begginners ima boy and my flexibilitys ok but im wanna get like u plz

[ThePetalbluelite]

It felt like watching a movie, the highs and lows, the music!!! loved it.

[faeldlog]

Love the video, love the music. And nice MTHER FKNG EDIT. You are so cute, the little texts made you cuter.

Although it freakishly reminded me of The Exorcist... You know, that stair scene...

[saileerockz]

wow...that is really all i can say. i wanna be that flexible.

[xXDrewcillalovesyouX]

Nice, i wish i was that good, i really need to work on my back being more flexible any idea's?

[FrozenAntiFreeze]

how long does your routine usually take on average?

[Rainmakerlola]

I love contortion, but i hate how they dress up in silly costumes and do it ¬_¬ unless its cirque du soleil, its fricking silly to do that.

[2tallbrandon]

incredible! : )

[1dabest]

dam it looks scary. like the grudge.

but thanks for the vid cuz ima try out ur routine.

looks great and helpful :)

BUT SCARY :(

[incognitoKnight]

why is one of the Tag "Dumb" this is anything but

I've never seen anything like this and I'm starting to think i live a too sheltered live. Very cool, thanks for uploading.

[jorre133]

hello, what's the name of the song?. thx

[LunarGirl0]

how old are you.. and ehen you star stretching? :D you are amazinggg! :P

[maniacnanzie]

I like the video! I hate hand and elbowstands I can´t stay more than 3 seconds without falling! How do u do it?

[Celx]

It's all about practice. Patiently you'll start learning how to control your balance. Elbowstands are pretty easy for me right now, and handstands..well, not so much. But all you have to do is practice!

[maniacnanzie]

well, i think so..i only control neck stands? haha i dont know the name..i like your videos they are pretty cool. I practice contortion also with 2 friends, i will upload a video soon :P

Do u speak another language? because i saw the title "mis 15" haha cause im from mexico

[PaisleyPlum]

this is so neat

[LunarGirl0]

wow.. i would like to do it like you ..;]]

[themindfreak08]

do you consider yourself a contortionist or a gymnast?

[Celx]

I don't know. I've stopped doing gymnastics, but I still go to my contortion classes.

I was a gymnast for 6 years and a contortionist for..i don't know..2 years?

I guess I'm a contortionist then.

[themindfreak08]

ur cute

[godflowdorian]

youre sum sort of alien. im callin d fbi

[thefunifarm]

This has been excellent ! Thank you.

Do you have a video of your dance version?

[arturoalmenar]

how you did to make the video faster and like an old movie movements??

[wind89266]

its called windows movie maker...

[arturoalmenar]

I mean the effect... I use Adobe Premiere that works better than movie maker but when I double the speed of the video it doesn't see like this video... In any case, how to make the video look like Blue Orchid Video movements

[clam12411241]

I looked up the song you said was in this video under the description on itunes and I couldn't find it.

[patzivota22]

This is actually, if I'm not mistaken, the only Cirque album iTunes doesn't have, which stinks, because it's a sweet album, though you can request it.

You can find it on Amazon, search this: "Violaine Corradi - Varekai"

[clam12411241]

When did you start contortion like at what age and how long did it take you to achieive a full chest stand and headsit. How many years did it take you to get this flexible? Are you self taight? How often do you train? How old are you now?

[psdkid17]

i love doing elbo stands!! is this all hard for you? and how long did it take you to get this flexible?

[reesesandpanther]

In case you haven't heard it a hundred times already, you're amazing.

[coachampions]

That is Killer dude.

[chocolateice956]

what's the name of the song in the background? I really like it

[lostWolfpup8]

read the description it says it there

[iGuineaPig]

wow. Wish I was that flexible, nice video :]

[fromthaunderground]

amazing! great job!

amazing video editing plus the moves and the stretches!

so nice..!

[littlemissgreeneyes1]

Great! do you go to ballet?

[christianfishy]

How long did it take you to get that good? =P =]

[richykrimmel]

cool music, what is it?

[Celx]

read the description please.

[IcarusFlying]

i didn't make the video, but balance if flexible strength. you fall when you don't have enough strength in that range of motion to withstand the wobbling until you find your center of gravity.

[86chela]

awesome stretching!!! keep it up!!

[mezonic]

yeah, it's cool. I love you.

[blahblahimsobored]

cool video!

[tbonedlive]

You have got to be kidding me.

Incredible!

[lakings9745]

i was also wondering if you have back pain/aches. ive been stretching too and sometimes i have discomfort.

[bingotheraccoon]

Coolest thing was that for the very first part, I was all, "I DO THAT, TOO!"

Though, I sure have a long way to go... :(

[capodastaro]

Very Impressive

I'm just glad we did have to do these stretches in PE!

[IcarusFlying]

stretching has been my new passion, and seeing someone else stretch has been a pleasure to watch

[matthewmovement]

Crazy! I really need to work on my middle splits. Good work.

[follet2005]

good work ; )

[uohzxela]

You a former gymnast or what?

Awesome.

[acrofreak]

all extremely easy

[Rainmakerlola]

She isnt showing off .

She has just wanted to learn more.

leave her alone.

[ahsonk]

@Rainmakerlola the fact that she is willing to help others out pretty much proves your point... but some people in this world would never appreciate a good thing...

[Rainmakerlola]

@ahsonk

Right there with you dude (Y)

people thease days ¬_¬

[lostWolfpup8]

holy O____O i thought i was flexible until i saw your video..THAT'S AMAZING!!!! you should try out for cirque du soleil! =D i'd bet you'd pass the audition with flying colours!!

good song too!

[Animace1]

wow ur really good keep up the good work!!thanks for the upload

[LouLenLieGymnasts]

how did you become so flexible?

[Sensenwerk]

Awesome. And thank you for the music tip. : )

[okkervil6]

how long did it take your body to be able to do this???

[caglacaglacagla]

You're really flexible and its fun to watch your videos. Keep sending pls !! :)

[werusiaa]

Omg... you are great...!

[Ylmorka]

Hmm... U're really good

[Rainmakerlola]

I watch all your contortion videos everyday! thats the thing, your not perfect thats why your so cool!

[Oliisblonde]

i'd love to do what u do, do u think i could? ive made a video of my bridge.. can u give me advices? you're really good! i hope you'll answer

[liorit]

i really like this video ! what is the name of the song ? (:

[xofallenone13]

oh dude when i first heard the song I thought it was rain one... that's my favorite one xD although I really love the song during Flight of Icarus but I heard it sound different on C.D. did my other comment get posted ?.? <3

[3pepper9]

nevermind guys.... i figured it out :D

[Jessupie]

oh haha i read this now:P lol

[3pepper9]

whats this song?!!! i wanna know real bad ive heard it before and it is on the tip of my tongue.....does anyone know?

[Jessupie]

maybe reading the description would help?:P

[kate515]

how long had you been doing it when you made this

[0oemancipatedo0]

you would make an amazing cheerleader! lol

[Celx]

If you are talking aout losing weight well, when you stretch you are exercising so I guess that you'll get fitter.

Any kind of stretch is safe meanwhile you do it correctly, but do not try things you know you can't do, so please be patient with yourself and take your time.

[sum1pnay]

i love your videos!

i was wonering if you are a beginner, what sort of stretches to you encourage to increase flexibility to achieve an elbow stnad..?

[myturbanisderty]

Hey great form and everything, I love to stretch also it helps me relax off the tension and stress. I was stretching with your music on and I wanted to know what's the name of the song?( or genre,artist,or style) I think your really pretty by the way. If you were here i'd defenitly have to have a stretching battle with you lol.

[leet1um]

great, compliments!

[gallecalamart]

yo creo que el que te digo" looks hurt" se referia a que se ve doloroso hacer todo eso.. cosa que lo comprendo porque para mi tambien se ve muy doloroso, jaja, pero la verdad te felicito, esta barbaro el video!!

pero que me recomendarias para empezar de cero total, yo soy sueper tronco, tengo cero flexibilidad y quiero mejorar, quiero ser mas flexible.

algun consejo?

y te llego mi mensaje? jeje

si queres te lo pongo en ingles tambien.. jeje

[chibifairy]

mine too! i'm just getting into contortion and need to work to my back... but im gonna use your stretches! :D is there any advice you could give me as to how to work on strengthening my back?

great video :D wish i had your flexibility!:D

[stretchdavid]

Oh this is my new motivational video! Thank you!!!

[rusty2910]

Wow! How many times do you do this a week? Every day? Because if I take a break for two or three days I can start again from the beginnig.

[DoR4Em0n]

Looks hurt...

[Celx]

looks hurt what?

[subalfie]

That was amazing! You would definitely get hired by the Ringling brothers &barnum &bailey circus walking the tightrope,you have great balance to say the least.

[Celx]

thanksa lot!

but I don't really have much balance, and i'd need a lot more in a tightrope.

And I don't like the Ringling Brothers so much actually, sorry.

[anakono]

celx..you received my message?

[anakono]

wow *-*

[reynaldomonterrey]

AMAZING,R U A GIMNASTIK

[Celx]

lol capslock.

yes, i do acrobatic gymnastics.

[cutypie12]

That is so cool! My advanced modern class is dancing to this song!

[brittanybaby21]

thats really cool, and those cheststands were good not bad lol

[ruthchang93]

Being a DCAU fan, I'd say you can be the next Batgirl/Huntress/Black Canary.

In other words, you're good. I have no flexibility whatsoever.

[Celx]

really? But I guess I will have to wait some years to grow up of course, but I will always prefer to be Harley Quinn. (:

Thanks for the comment!

[ruthchang93]

What's to wait? Robin started at 6th Grade! XD

Harley? Well, first you'll need a psycho to fall in love with...

Hehe..you're welcome.

[Celx]

yes, but not in this video.

[MrPogi87]

damn, you're really bendy :D

[TabbyUK]

I'm having trouble with my chest stands :(

how can I do one without it hurting my boobs? (to put it bluntly haha)

i know your supposed to be balancing on the area above them, but i cant bend my neck enough to have my chin on the floor, should i turn my head to the side?

how long have you been contorting for? Im coming up 1 year :)

[XxSoundlessxX]

ooo a year? Cool.. well ive been doing splits for a year and oversplits for 4 months. ive been in contortion for i think 7 months now..

[lordkobaka]

Wow, that looks extremely difficult. Dx

It's amazing that you do that every day, so much effort.

[lbvedj]

good, very good. Have you tried passive stretching?

[Celx]

thanks, what's passive stretching?

[lbvedj]

when someone adjusts you and helps you stretch. I teach stretching classes where I assist the stretches.

[Celx]

Oh I see. Well I always prefered stretching all by myself since at the same I gain strenght and resistence, my contortion teacher sometimes help me thought.

[lbvedj]

Have you tried yoga, that's really heplful for flexibility. I'll try to upload some videos of the yoga classes I teach, see what you like!

[mmi005]

Ur really flexible. I'm as flexible as you in my legs, but in my back.. hell no!

[ItssGrace]

bloody hell your good.

soo bendyy lol

[Zamolodchikovafan16]

Very good stretches! I was inspired to go and stretch myself. When you can balance really well doing handstands it's great to do them unsupported aswell :)

You're good at the chest stands. I'm trying to do them too... Using a scarf is a great idea! It really hurts when you go onto your troat :S I'm trying to get a more flexible back so that I don't do the 'throat stand' :P

[aerialfaerie256]

can you do a handstand with no wall to support you? or lever down from handstand into the bridge? you should have the core strength to do that if you want to do these moves safely. the flexibility you have is great, but make sure you do strength training to support it, and don't pinch your lower back too much. try to keep the bridge even. awesome work! keep up the practice, you're great!

[burningthoselies]

makes me want to do that everyday :]

[contortionofficial]

great routine! I really LOVE the music = D

[daniqwa]

i do that every day

[xjigaboo22x]

my dream is 2 be a cirque du soleil performer! im addicted! i want to do either contortion, tissu, acrobatics or tumbling! but i dont think i'll ever get there! (im hoping i will :)

celx, if you want to be a cirque du soleil performer, you can get there, you gotta remember anything is possible if you put your mind to it! :D

your great, hope 2 see more videos!

- Loza xx :)

[daniqwa]

me too

[xjigaboo22x]

i had the same problem as you Yakeyglee! i couldnt breath either. but im better now. your really good! keep going!

- Loza xx

[cierrcakes]

i do a bridge down the wall it really works.

[lazytown999999999]

wow scorpion

[listenupchump]

INSPIRATIONAL

[listenupchump]

ur amazin!!!!!!!!!! im flexible but i dnt train much and no where near as gud as u, gr8 stuff

[Yakeyglee]

Hi, I usually do backbend stretching and stuff like that and I have trouble breathing and stuff. Sometimes, I hold my breath and I don't really realize it untill I am really winded and yeah...

Have you experienced this? Do you have any suggestions on breathing in general in backbends?

[jo3scale]

You must have normal even breaths, if you cant do that in a chest stand then you are not "ready". Also your weight should not be on your chin, it should be on your chest bones

[Yakeyglee]

okay, thanks.

[luhh666]

Chest bones...... ribs? or manubrium and sternum ? cause the cartilage of the ribs would probably break if you support all your weight on it. ?

[Jessupie]

nope they dont actually! they can support the weight very well actually! ãnd besides, i think if they woould have snapped she would be in pain:P so it doesnt hurt or force anything at all

[zacefronslittlelovr]

I like it, it's cool, i'm a gymnast(beginer) and , can U teach me how to do that???

tnx!!!!!!!

[D4rkazzone]

sti cazzi... sembra di gomma... O_o

[roxymuzak]

Very nice video.

[judit1987]

your video is great...with your funny comments:) i guess you like Cirque du Soleil, you chose Varekai's music. anyway, the whole video is great!

[mcdadancer]

WOW abselutely amazing!!!! How long have you been doing that for? im a cheerleader and you give me a proper boost after ive watched you, its amazing, you're amazing x

[raf300]

nice, :)

I should stretch more :s

[SkRiBbLe1992]

how long have you been practicing contortion?

[bblinky]

omg this is amazing. i also like the music, kinda spooky feel.

[Lara83P]

could you do a video for stretches that will bring you closer to do the splitz?

in slower motion? hope you get this!!

[Lara83P]

also what music is that?

[Yakeyglee]

Patzivota, Cirque du Soleil

It's in the video description.

[Lara83P]

i wonder if you could slow it down

[Lara83P]

how long did it take you to learn the splitz?

[Lara83P]

this is a good video i think, amazing, incredible what the human body is

[ContortionKate]

thanks this really helped!

[Mikey34549]
