I’m not sure what day I’m on lol. So I’ve been having bendy back dreams and I have decided to make it happen. I am devoted more time to back bending. These will be the before pictures. By the end of the summer, I want a solid cocoon.
Still Going
I haven’t posted in a while but have been working on my flexibility several times a week. Am definitely seeing progress!
Hello Y’all

It’s late … and I can’t think of any flexibility puns right now…
Slowly but surely making some progress. I got the forearm backbend! Something just clicked and I got it … I also found an easier way to get into it without upsetting my lower back.
