Flow is not merely an art form, it is a way of life.
Hi, I’m Monté. I’m twenty-six years old and my journey began when a very special goddess handed me a hoop for the first time and took me under her wing in the summer of 2014. I was recovering from a very dark period in my life and through the magic of this circle I was introduced to a community filled with vibrancy, hope, passion, excitement, but above all, love. Believe me when I say, hula hooping was not easy from the start. I was awful, at least in my eyes, when I first began, almost discouraged enough to quit. However, that quickly changed with encouragement and understanding, and I truly blossomed when I found my flow. Flow is in everything: in the way we breathe, in the way we walk, in the cadences of our voices, in the rhythm of our hips; it is what guides and connects us as we move our bodies through space and time. Once I found mine, everything made sense—my hoop flow comes from my soul. I connect with my instrument, I feel through my instrument, I express and emote with my instrument, I breathe through my instrument. It is an extension of my body and of myself, and now, almost three years later, I am honored to have been chosen to share what I love with all of you in Marseille.
