Sessions with Lily Huang
Flexibility did not come naturally to Lily. In her pole dance career, she was always better at building strength than getting bendy. It was not until Lily discovered active flexibility training at Fit & Bendy that she began to learn that she could use her strength-building superpower to increase her flexibility. Since then her flexibility has increased far beyond her original vision, even through the birth of her son! Lily loves coaching those who also have frustrations and blocks around flexibility, sharing her knowledge and experience to move through blocks. She is particularly adept at using strength to build flexibility, creating strong, healthy movement.
Lily’s areas of specialty are:
- Contortion
- Flexibility
