I was quite ill in February 2017, and my medical doctor advised that I needed to exercise to improve my health. But I didn't know where to start or what to do, I was coughing and still had a little trouble breathing. My sister advised me to do yoga and recommended me a link to YouTube, the video was Yoga for when you are sick (Yoga with Adriene). And it was more difficult than I expected but I felt better.
I tend to have insomnia and sleep very little and it helped me with that also, so from the first day I did the yoga routine I was very into it and I was having fun with myself because I was struggling with almost every pose! I laughed a lot and had trouble breathing calmly like the video said. A lot of sweat, thinking I was going to die and stuff like that. And decided to draw the instructor pose and myself in the background, kinda like expectation vs reality. I decided to start on posting them in my Instagram account and I didn't expect that so many people had the same experience like me! I was so happy and grateful for that!
And I have to say that Yoga has changed my life in so many good ways. I feel better emotionally and healthier than ever. And the drawings will continue because I will keep on doing yoga and there are a lot of new pretzel-ly like poses I will try to do in time lol. I hope I can do them and don't die in the attempt lol.

In Bulgaria we call stiff people "trees". Being(as my friends and relatives describe me) "total tree ", I can perfectly relate to all those illustrations.

Cool! Good learning material for beginners (understandable - check). Also, looking at these, you really wanna try it and see, if you can do it (motivating - check). And the last, but not least, you actually want to be that elastic one - beautifully drawn (motivation AND nice to look at - double check). Keep it up. Both of the hobbies. :D
