Default [OT] Yoga Enthusiasts?

Sorry I haven't been posting very much lately. I'm still working 14 - 16
hours a day 7 days a week and trying to get in my exercising, physical
therapy, and learning yoga in all my spare time!! ; I'm still sending
purrs for all who need them, and trying to at least spot check posts for
anyone in need.

Off topic now...

I have a question for others here who may do yoga.

I've always been very bendy. I have no problems touching my toes or sitting
with legs spread and grabbing my feet. However, the girl on the yoga video
I have looks like she doesn't have a bone in her body. She sits with her
legs straight out in front of her and leans over and rests her face on her
knees or stand and bends over forward with her face against her knees.

My question is, do you become that limber with continued practice, or is
this yoga instructor just double jointed or something? If you do become
that limber, how long does it take? I'm practicing through the pain so my
muscles will stretch and not stiffen up, but although I see some progress,
I'm not there yet. Any advice?

Hugs,
