Top 10 Most Impressive Flexibility Feats
So you think you're flexible? Try these stretches to see how flexible you really are. Honestly I can't do them all.The Top Ten
Needle
Needle is a flexibility pose where one leg is lifted vertically behind the body while the torso leans forward, often forming a straight line from foot to head
It's basically vertical splits. Good luck.
Chest Roll
Chest Roll is a contortion move where the body rotates over the chest while in a prone position, emphasizing spinal flexibility and shoulder mobility
Middle Splits
Middle Splits involve extending both legs sideways in opposite directions until they form a straight horizontal line aligned with the hips
The most painful of them all.
Over Splits
Over Splits go beyond 180 degrees in a split position, with one or both legs elevated to increase the range past a standard split
Some of these look impossible to do. I am not flexible at all, as I can't even do a cartwheel.
Scorpion Handstand
Scorpion Handstand is a balance pose where the performer does a handstand while bending the back to bring the feet toward or over the head
Mexican Handstand
Mexican Handstand is an advanced backbend handstand with the chest arched forward and legs extended overhead or behind in a curve
Bow and Arrow
Bow and Arrow is a pose where one leg is extended to the side and pulled toward the head while the opposite arm holds the foot behind the back
You need good splits for it.
Backbend
Backbend is a foundational flexibility move involving arching the back while facing upward, typically supported by the hands and feet
Scorpion
Scorpion is a standing or handstand position where the back is arched and one leg is lifted and bent to reach toward the head or spine

The Newcomers
? Triple Fold
Triple Fold is an extreme flexibility position where the torso folds over the legs with an added back or leg extension to increase compression
? Back Chest Roll
Back Chest Roll is a move where the performer rolls backward over the shoulders and upper back in a smooth, controlled motion
The Contenders
Split Leg Up and Back on Back Leg
Split Leg Up and Back on Back Leg is a position where the back leg is lifted high and extended behind the body while the torso remains upright
I mean, you do a split and stick your leg up in it while you twist your back onto your back split leg. I can do that.
Bridge Sit
Bridge Sit involves sitting within an arched bridge position, typically with the back deeply bent and the hands or arms supporting the pose
