"I am enthusiastic about the work done together and it would be very convenient to have you as close to my house! Progress is guaranteed!"

"De contortionlessen bij Max reiken verder dan massage.
Mijn lichaam voelt zich herboren. De fysieke ruimte die er na elke les ontstaat is waarachtig en heilzaam op vele levels. Ben blij dat ik deze lessen ontdekt hebt....
"Ik zie en ervaar flexibiliteit steeds meer als een essentiele voorwaarde voor een goede gezondheid."
Bedankt Max!"

"When I started to train with Max, I came in the hope he could help me get into a split. I needed this for my aerials, but because of an injury, I felt like I couldn't do it alone.Now, after about 1 year of training, I can do splits, like I wanted to. I also learned how to do box splits, how to do an oversplit, and how to put a foot on my head in a split. I learned how to stand straight on one leg, with the other straight, with the foot next to my face. Next to splits max taught me put both legs in my neck, and I am able to do a bridge on my elbows. So my back and front bending became better. Also, my shoulders are more flexible now.
So, although I came in to learn a split, Max taught me much more. The stretching is quite addictive once you get through the first few months. But after this, you see the difference in flexibility, You sleep better, your body gets more toned and you feel the overall suppleness coming back in daily life. Max is a patient teacher and a relaxed nice man. He makes me feel welcome every training, and I feel totally comfortable around him. I think this is an important element of contortion, as you end up in the most weird positions. Trust and comfort are crucial."

"I was looking for someone who could see my skills and give shape to the movements still in power. The memory of the lessons is one of the most beautiful of my life"

Irene Betti - Contortionist - Italy

"The training was great ! My backbend is getting better and better. I will come again one day!"

'I had an amazing experience at the Contortion Center and can't wait to visit again! I don't consider myself to be hugely flexible but I'm always working on increasing my flexibility to enhance my dancing. I booked my session at the Contortion Center and had no idea what to expect, I went with an open mind. Wow, it was brilliant. It was definitely one of the most intense, spiritual yet physical and certainly memorable experiences of my life. I got in positions I never thought possible and established a connection with my body that I'd never had before. I left feeling amazing and picked up tips through the session which have definitely benefited me when stretching at home. I am completely motivated and inspired, in fact since my trip to see Max I have been  stretching like a crazy woman and I can't wait to visit him again! I have already and will continue to strongly recommend a visit to the Contortion Center to people who are interested in developing their flexibility. I wish I lived closer!'
