Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas is showing why she will forever be one of the best gymnasts to ever strap on a leotard by sharing some video of herself getting very bendy.

25-year-old Douglas, who was part of both the Fierce Five and Final Five Team USA women's gymnastics squads, took to Instagram this week to share her moment of zen with her 1.5 million followers. Although Douglas is retired from competitive gymnastics, she has not given up on keeping her body in fighting shape.

Gabby Douglas took to her front yard while showcasing her incredible flexibility as she hit a yoga flow that found the star inverted before bending over backward and ending up in a downward dog position. Surrounded by a bare grove of winter trees from her home in Los Angeles, Douglas spoke about her love for Mother Nature.

"[I] absolutely love nature and everything she provides. she is my therapy. she is very soothing, healing, and nourishing. i go to, recharge, meditate, stretch, sit, and be healed. mind, body, and soul," the gymnastics star captioned her video.

Continuing her flow of words along with her video, Gabby Douglas wrote:

"[She] allows me to feel light and open. to be face to face, confront and let go of the painful past, the dreadful memories, the doubt, the anger, the regret, and the fear and to create and walk into an even greater space for peace, energy, self-worth, self-love, strength, forgiveness, power and growth."

Since being posted, the video has racked up over 160,000 views and was even seen by Douglas' ex-teammate, McKayla Maroney, who dropped some love in the comments with an emoji.
