Is doing yoga the first step to becoming a contortionist?

How to contortionists become contortionists? Do they start by doing yoga and basic stretching and work their way up to contorting themselves, or are there special excerises people do in order to become contortionists that are different from yoga?

I think that would help but you also need a great deal of natural flexibility and double-jointed-ness.


i would have to say yes from a ligical stand point


No, Yoga literally means union. The stretches serve to dextoify the body and prepare for meditation. Contortionist are not yogi’s, likewise yogi’s are not contortionists, though to many it might appear that way.
