One thing that helps the Bonebreakers prepare for each of their performances is yoga. Yoga helps them maintain their flexibility whether it’s doing a downward dog or a simple handstand. Naturally, with bodies that move like that, they definitely need to do all they can to prepare for a big performance like the one they will have on America’s Got Talent.
