Schedule:
October 24, Saturday 12:00 - 14:00 Exploring Contortion (Level: Beginner to Intermediate, flat splits aren't required)
November 14, Saturday 12:00 - 13:30 Introduction to Flexibility Training (Level: Beginner)
Introduction to Flexibility Training
Flexibility is not just about stretching, it’s about learning how to move your body with control, awareness, and the right techniques.
This workshop introduces the foundations of effective flexibility training, helping you build a more limber and resilient body while learning how to train in a structured way.
During the session, we will explore a combination of mobility drills, active flexibility exercises, and strengthening work designed to support safe and sustainable progress. You’ll learn how flexibility training actually works and how small technical adjustments can make a big difference in how quickly and comfortably your body adapts.
The workshop is designed to be accessible to beginners, while also offering valuable insights for dancers and movement enthusiasts who want to refine their flexibility practice.
Whether your goal is to simply feel more open in your body or eventually work toward shapes such as the splits, this session will give you the tools to start progressing with confidence.
Expect a supportive environment where curiosity, exploration, and good technique come first.
Regular price: 65 CHF
Exploring Contortion
Contortion is both an art and a discipline that combines deep flexibility, strength, and body awareness. While the shapes can look extreme, the training itself is built on technique, patience, and careful progression.
This workshop offers an introduction to the fundamental principles used in contortion training, helping participants safely explore deeper ranges of motion while building the strength and control required to support them.
During the session, we will work through a structured sequence of mobility drills, active flexibility exercises, and targeted stretches that prepare the body for deeper work. Participants will also explore elements commonly found in contortion training such as backbend technique, sequences and creative flexibility shapes.
The workshop is open to anyone who already enjoys stretching and is curious to push their flexibility practice further, whether they are dancers, yoga practitioners, circus enthusiasts, or movement explorers.
Because contortion training benefits greatly from individual feedback, the workshop is intentionally limited to 6–8 participants to create a focused and supportive learning environment.
Whether you are discovering contortion for the first time or refining an existing practice, this session offers a chance to deepen your understanding of the body’s flexibility potential.

Contortion with Baaska
Location: Espace Connect
Schedule:
December 13, 10:00 - 13:00
Explore the art of Mongolian Contortion with Baaska
Mongolia is home to one of the deepest contortion lineages in the world, shaped by generations of training and a tradition of exceptional performers. In this workshop, Baaska Enkhbaatar brings that tradition to Zurich for a focused morning of contortion practice — a rare chance to train directly with a Mongolian contortionist in an intimate studio setting.
We'll open with a general warm-up and partner-assisted stretching, followed by targeted conditioning to build the strength and mobility the main work asks for. From there, Baaska will guide you through:
-
Chest stand and its variations
-
Sideways chest stand
-
Crocodile to chest stand
-
Elbow stand / contortion handstand (wall support available)
-
Cross handstand
-
Contortion transitions and combinations
Expect precise cues, generous attention, and plenty of time to work on each shape with Baaska's eye on you.
Who it's for: Contortion practitioners and students with an established flexibility practice. To participate safely, you should be:
-
Comfortable in your splits (even if they aren't yet flat)
-
Able to hold a bridge pose
-
Comfortable getting inverted, with or without wall support
Early bird price: 110 CHF
Regular price: 135 CHF
About Baaska
Baaska Enkhbaatar is a Mongolian contortionist and hand balancer, now based in France where she teaches and performs. She began her contortion training at the age of six in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and has since built an international career that spans more than a decade with Cirque du Soleil — including featured roles in Kurios Cabinet of Curiosities, James Cameron's Toruk, Quidam, the Michael Jackson Immortal Tour, and Alegría.
Her work has earned her medals at some of the most prestigious international circus festivals — Wuqiao (China), Saratov (Russia), and Latina (Italy) — and brought her to television stages across the USA, UK, France, Italy, Norway, and Australia.

Throughout the year, I host in-person workshops and special training intensives in Zurich, bringing high-level flexibility and contortion training to the local movement community.
Our next workshops will take place on October 24, and November 14 & 15, where I will be teaching small to medium-group sessions focused on flexibility and contortion training. These workshops are designed to help participants deepen their movement practice, explore new ranges of motion, and train in a supportive environment with individual guidance.
In addition to my own workshops, this space will continue to feature special events with internationally recognised flexibility and contortion teachers, bringing diverse perspectives and high-level movement education directly to Zurich.
Whether you are joining a workshop for the first time or returning to deepen your practice, this page will keep you updated about upcoming events and training opportunities.
Thank you for an incredible week!
