This is a new move to me as I’ve never seen something quite like it before. Not only is Gana capable of supporting the weight of her partner while in a bridge, but she even did so without her arms for a couple of seconds.
An outstanding combination of flexibility and strength.
One of the best video courses to improve your flexibility comes from Gold Medal Bodies. Check it out here.
In the last video we had from two Vladimirs they showed various hand-to-hand hand-balancing moves. This time one of them used a head of the other as a rotating hand balancing stand, which clearly shows extraordinary neck strength.
Once again, they finish the act with dangerous move using two knives to balance on top of each other.
Most people neglect training the neck, which I personally believe to be a huge mistake. Make your body (including your neck and spine) indestructible.

I’ve seen people doing handstands in weird places, but I never saw anyone attempt to do one on a moving escalator. It’s actually quite astonishing!
What’s the weirdest place you performed a handstand? Doing one at an airport was a bit weird for me.
