Ever since taking the biggest and scariest leap from the corporate job I had lost during the pandemic to creating a Patreon to be able to sustain myself and pay my rent, you all of been here to support me and help make my dreams a reality. Teaching the art of hooping and creating tutorials for you all to learn all of the tricks you’ve always dreamed of learning and helping you elevate your flow has always and will always be my biggest dream. It means the world to me that so many of you have entrusted me in some way to help you along your journey, and I appreciate you all so much. Communities rise together by lifting each other up and helping each other grow, and it has been my greatest honor to give you all a boost in your journey through Patreon over the last 8 years. But as things grow, sometimes we realize that growth also incurs change. I have felt a bit like I am in a box while using Patreon as a platform and wanted more space to grow, and more space to help you all grow in return. I am over the moon to introduce you to my very own flow arts learning platform app, Flows!.

I am immensely excited to help you learn and grow on this new platform. I have been tenaciously creating new content for the app and have close to 100 tutorials already up. I am recreating ALL my content plus new content for Flows!, which has been such a tedious but magnificent feat to create the highest quality content I possibly can for you all. If you’d like to check it out and see what you can expect, you can search “Taylor Flows” or search “Flows!” in the App Store and when you register for the app and sign in, you get access to a FREE 20 tutorial Single Hoop Basics course. No strings attached :)

To be transparent, this change has been exciting, but also a little scary. It feels like taking a leap out of a comfortable, familiar place into a big and expansive unknown. But I can’t help but remember this is exactly how I felt when I started my adventure on Patreon and started work as a full-time creative. Good, big things can feel scary at first ~ but it is crucial that we follow through and tenaciously chase our dreams. 💭
With love,
Taylor Flows 🖤 ~ video by @alexwebermedia ✨ by @taylor_flows

Heyyyyyy 😚 ~ grab your hoops & come learn this simple doubles hybrid with me!

HELPFUL TIPS:
✨ Practice step one and two a bunch before combining them together! Unilateral drilling is the key to success with double hoops!

✨ Turning your body to the side the hoop is traveling towards can help gain more mobility in your shoulder to help the overhead weave feel cleaner.

✨ Let your shoulders relax! You got this, and you can do hard things!

✨ If you want slower, more in depth tutorials on doubles (or single hoop, or fans) come play with me on my flow arts learning app I developed, Flows!

Happy hooping 🙂‍↔️⭕️✨ by @taylor_flows

One person believed in me before I believed in myself.
What started as picking up a hula hoop “just for fun” turned into a career, a community, and a life I never imagined. Along the way, I realized that encouragement has a ripple effect. One person taking a chance on you can inspire you to do the same for someone else.
That’s what @bethepeople means to me. It’s about recognizing that each of us has something unique to contribute, and that real change starts when ordinary people choose to show up, create, and inspire others in your community.

Now it’s your turn.

🎶 Listen to “It’s Gotta Be Us”
🎥Create your own interpretation of the song—whether that’s through hooping, dance, music, art, movement, storytelling, or whatever creativity looks like to you.
🏷️Tag @bethepeople and use #BeThePeopleOpenCall to enter.
✨One creator will win their version of the song produced by Grammy-nominated producer @poobear

I can’t wait to see how you show up. Because every ripple starts with one person... and then another.

It’s gotta be us. #bethepeoplepartner

& a huge thank you to all of the epic hoopers around the world that submitted these pass videos to help with this project ~ only a TINY sliver of this incredible community. I’d love to do another one and get more representation of the full hooping community in here :) if you’d like to be involved in another iteration, shoot me a message! 🖤 by @taylor_flows

The first time I picked up a hula hoop, I dropped it more times than I can count.

What started as a hobby became a source of confidence, creativity, resilience, and community. The lessons I’ve learned through movement continue to impact every part of my life, both inside and outside hoping, and I try to share those lessons with others.

That’s why the message behind @bethepeople resonates with me. Positive change doesn’t happen because a few extraordinary people step up- it happens when ordinary people choose to show up, create, connect, and inspire one another.

Now it’s your turn.

🎵 Listen to “Gotta Be Us”
🎥 Create your own interpretation of the song
✨ Share your creativity and what this movement means to you
🏷️ Tag @bethepeople and use #BeThePeopleOpenCall by July 12th

One creator will have their track professional produced by Grammy-nominated producer @poobear
