Adgam Salinas (She/Her)
Flexibility & Contortion Coach

Since Adi was a child she has always enjoyed the freedom that flexibility gives to her body, and the energy that moves through her. Although Adi was born with a naturally flexible body she had to work to become a contortionist! She began training later in life when she was 21, and through her experience she knows you can always improve your flexibility, you just need to actually do the work! This is why she teaches- because she wants others to know that they can improve too, that it is possible, and that she can guide them through it..... it just a matter of discipline.
Adi got into contortion when one day during one of her classes of aerial arts, Ivanov Niebla (former performer at Cirque Demain/performer at Cirko Alebrije/her teacher) saw potential in her and invited Adi to be part of the circus company Cirko Alebrije in Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. That is where she learned most of her contortion training, and her passion for contortion started growing.
Adi is a graduate of Montreal The National Circus School's ( ENC ) Coaching Program. She has a technical degree in performing arts at the University of Guadalajara. There she was thrilled to discover how the beautiful fluidity of expression through movement of the body could also excite the mind.
Moreover, she has had extensive contortion training with Oyuna-Erdene Senge, Cirque du Soleil contortionist since 2004. She has also practiced the modalities of gymnastics, acrobatics, and yoga, furthering her understanding of the body arts.
In 2019, she had a baby boy and took a little break but now she is back and excited to keep sharing her knowledge about flexibility with her students.
Come and spend an hour with me and experience my unique approach to expanding flexibility:
- increase joint flexibility
- promote muscle relaxation
- strengthen and activate the spine for maximum health
- connect the body with breath
Explore a dynamic range that maximizes the body’s natural movements leaving you with a tranquil mind and a buzzing body.
The object of the class is to develop flexibility gradually. We will work towards turning muscular tension into muscular elasticity and improving joint mobility.
