Years of training: 'At first I couldn't do anything or even pull myself off the floor but I saw all these other people doing these amazing acro tricks and I was inspired to build my strength up,' she said
Hazel suffers from 'flexorexia' - a type of body dysmorphia that affects mostly flexible people - and is unable to see herself as flexible enough, especially when she compares herself to others.

'I would constantly compare my stomach, arms and legs to the girls around me and think that I was bigger than they all were when in reality I was 37kg and 2-4 sizes smaller than most of them. I just simply couldn’t achieve "Skinny’" and it became an obsession,' she wrote in a raw blog post.
