Mykah
Smith
The Bahamas → The World
"As I release, I find myself in flow state — the eb and flow of the universe."
Mykah Smith is a hula hoop artist, yoga teacher, herbalist, and movement guide born and raised in the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. Her practice weaves together flow arts, hatha and vinyasa yoga, meditation, and sound healing into a rich, embodied way of living.
She has lived in Germany and Costa Rica, traveled widely, and found community everywhere she has landed — a testament to the global language of flow.
Mykah was introduced to hooping in 2013 by her roommate while studying at university in Tennessee. She fell in love immediately, bought her first hoop from a local metaphysical shop — and within a week, met the woman who had made it. That chance meeting opened a door to a whole new world.
"My hoop and yoga journeys are very intertwined — I began them both at the same time. The flow arts has given me so much liberation."
She attended flow jams every Thursday and Sunday, flowing with her dear friend three to four times a week. From the very beginning, hooping and movement were inseparable from her spiritual path.
For Mykah, the hoop is a teacher of surrender. The deepest lessons come not from forcing, but from releasing.
"Every time I have tried to engage with the hoop while overthinking and forcing, there is no flow. But as I release, I find myself in flow state."
- Surrender is the gateway to bliss
- Flow state is a spiritual practice
- Release fear to access freedom
- Movement is an offering to all beings
- Yoga & hoop are one path
- The universe flows — so can you
Mykah is launching her online yoga studio, offering hatha, vinyasa, rocket-inspired, and hoop yoga classes alongside guided meditations, sound baths, and self-care resources. She is also starting beginner hoop masterclasses to share the joy of flow with those just starting out.
Her goal is simple: to share the liberation she has found with everyone who needs it.
Mykah carries a powerful vision for the flow arts community — one rooted in equity, representation, and joy.
She believes the community must actively fight for every member's right to flow freely — without racism, discrimination, or hatred. The sacred geometry Black flow artists create deserves to be celebrated, not just tolerated.
