For many of us, simply bending over to touch our toes can be a difficult. But it's not a problem for the world's bendiest woman Julia Günthel aka Zlata. In fact, if she wants to touch her toes she can actually do so by twisting her legs up to her head.
Russian-born Zlata can contort herself into the most extreme poses imaginable - and has broken numerous world records for her flexibility.
The former gymnast, who is 5ft 8in, is so flexible she can cram herself into a 50cm squared box.She said: 'Doing these poses just feels very natural to me. Sometimes it can get a bit uncomfortable if I have to hold a pose for a long time in photo shoots.
'But I think that's like anyone who sits down for a long time - their muscles get stiff.'
The 27-year-old is set to show off her ability at the upcoming International Contortion Convention in Germany, where she now lives. See more pics after the cut..
