Episode 11: Can a Yoga Mat Be Your Bridge to a New Life? - with Nicolas Willemsen about his Personal Transformation

In this episode, I sit down with Nicolas, a 27-year-old former legal consultant who recently said goodbye to corporate life and committed to becoming a yoga teacher. Nicolas shares how it only took six months to feel something was off in his career, but four years to fully “cut the cord.” His philosophy is simple and powerful: if it doesn’t feel right, move. You're not a tree.We talk about how yoga entered his life less than a year ago and immediately felt like a missing piece: a space without performance, comparison, or ego. Coming from intense environments like CrossFit and corporate culture, Nicolas describes yoga as the first place where softness felt allowed and where he could finally listen to what his body needed, not just what his mind wanted.Nicolas opens up about a challenging mental and physical health journey, including depression, an ADHD diagnosis, later discovering autism, and experiencing heart issues that led to surgery. Give us feedback on this episode🦋 Follow The Flow Foundry on Instagram✨ GIMMY vitamines - 10% Discount link
