About Kristina "Nekyia" Cañizares

Kristina "Nekyia" Cañizares is a Los Angeles-based flexibility and mobility coach, personal trainer, and former dancer and circus contortionist with over a decade of experience helping people move better, recover from injury, and unlock their body's potential.

After a career performing as a contortionist and dancer, Kristina turned her deep knowledge of movement science into a coaching practice unlike any other — one rooted in the kinesiology and neurology of how flexibility actually works, not just stretching harder and hoping for the best.

Who Kristina works with

Kristina has coached thousands of people through personal training, group classes, workshops, and her popular YouTube channel. In Los Angeles she works with individuals navigating mobility challenges including hypermobility syndrome, chronic tightness, persistent pain, injury recovery, and prolonged immobility.She has worked with many of the industry's top performers — musicians, actors, dancers, aerialists, pole competitors, stunt artists, and martial artists.

Billie Eilish

In 2017 Kristina began working with then 15-year-old artist Billie Eilish as her personal trainer. She has worked with Billie ever since, both in the gym and on the road, including joining her for the Happier Than Ever World Tour in 2021. Billie has credited Kristina with helping her understand her own hypermobility.
