“The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times…
The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits
in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”
– Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
In psychology, flow is defined as a mental state in which
a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of
energized focus, full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the action.
It is colloquially known as “being in the zone.”
Flow is characterized by feeling a loss in one’s sense of space and time
while in complete absorption of the activity at hand.
Your hand “feels one” with the paintbrush, the football, the yoga mat.
You aren’t thinking or controlling much, as actions merge with awareness.
Flow is an effortless state where you truly let go,
and allow something bigger than ego to takeover.
Flow... it is where you’ll find me.
Nicole Villegas is a freelance digital marketer and yoga instructor based in Miami, Florida.
Whether meeting with a client or hosting a private class, her goal in both realms
centers around fostering connection through storytelling and sharing from the heart.
She had her professional start at an ad agency in Downtown Philly, where her focus
was a happy blend between public relations and social media. Although she always had
a love for writing, it was in this position that she truly realized the power of words and
how a good copywriter came in handy for every type of project, across all industries.
After spending just under two years there, the tides began turning and Nicole decided
it was time for a change. She resigned from her position with a desire to begin
freelancing full-time as well as dive deep into her passion for yoga.
Nicole applied and was selected to participate in a prestigious 200 hour yoga
teacher training program led by world-renowned instructors in Aruba.
Upon her return, she began incorporating corporate, studio and private yoga classes
into her self-employed schedule and has been riding the waves ever since.
