Stefanie Millinger Breaks Down Her Technique: Here's What Fans Love

In an interview with The Red Bulletin last year, Millinger revealed she has previously been invited by Cirque du Soleil, the largest modern circus showrunner in the world, to participate. Since she sees herself as an artist, she has preferred staying away from showbiz.

On why she started out with hand balancing and extreme sport at a young age, Millinger said, "I enjoyed the sensation and I gradually increased the number of minutes I could stay balanced on my hands." With a combination of "core, strength and stretching exercises," she practised vaulting before school since she was 13.

As per her Instagram stories, Millinger has worked hard to get to where she is, without taking even a day's leave from workout since the day she started exercising.
