A Quiet Shift in Being Await in Peru 7/11- 7/22 (3 spots left)

Last June, I had the opportunity to go to Peru for the first time, leading our small, sweet group. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries on my own, and I’ve always loved exploring the world. But this experience felt completely different from the very beginning.

On the first night, our paqo, Andean spiritual guide, led us into a despacho ceremony. We were invited into their way of being. Suddenly, I felt I had moved from the modern Western sense of time into something more foundational or all-knowing (I don't know but I also know from my being). We were being guided to connect with something much larger than ourselves—the Milky Way, the universe—in a circle, under the full moon, by the fire. We set our intention and gave our offering to Pachamama — Mother Earth — asking for her permission and protection before our journey. It is in that moment I knew we had arrived in the right place, guided by people with deep respect, presence, and heart.

This Jully, I’ll be guiding a small group back to the Sacred Valley in Peru. This is not just a trip.It’s for you if you’re feeling a desire to pause and step out of your usual rhythm, a longing to reconnect with yourself in a deeper way, or a quiet knowing that there is more to feel, beyond what the mind can explain

We currently have 3 spots remaining, and we’ll be closing registration soon as we prepare permits for the journey.

If this speaks to something within you, you’re welcome to reach out or learn more in the link below, both from my personal self- reflection after Peru, and your coming journey in details. It is my greatest joy and honor to accompany you on this Sacred Heart pilgrimage of life!

Sunday personal reflection on time, energy and attention.

03/20/2026

Hello everyone,

I hope you enjoy this beautiful day! This weekend marks the gentle arrival of spring — a natural turning point from stillness into movement, from inward reflection into outward expansion. After the quiet, introspective energy of winter, where we are guided by the lungs — learning to release, to let go, to create space — we now begin to shift into the energy of spring, associated with the liver and the element of wood. In traditional wisdom, the liver carries the energy of vision, direction, and growth. Just like trees in early spring, life begins to rise again — not in a rush, but with a quiet, steady unfolding.

🌿 Yoga Embracing Spring: Flow into Vitality

Time: 9:00 a.m.- 10:15 a.m.
Location:
You will see our group in DeMun park, right across street from DeMun Sasha's and Kaldis Cafe

Over the years, I have come to realize that mountains offer something many people quietly long for — Peace and clarity.

Since opening my studio in 2014, I have noticed something very clear. The people who come to my classes and retreats are often those who have devoted their lives and professions to helping others. They study deeply, train continuously, and work tirelessly in service of others. They are very good at what they do — caring, giving, and holding space for so many. Yet, they are often the ones who need time and space for themselves the most.

Again and again, I witness how important it is for those who support others to have a place where they, too, can rest, reconnect, and return to themselves.

My first experience with high mountains was at the South Base Camp near Everest in 2018. On the way back, we took the Qinghai–Tibet Railway — the highest train route in the world — reaching 5,072 meters (16,640 feet) above sea level at Tanggula Pass. The journey from Lhasa to Xining took about 22 hours. I don’t think I slept at all. I kept my eyes open from day to night, watching vast open landscapes where life felt slower, simpler, and far away from the noise of modern life, and just listening and feeling the movement and the sound of train.

Something shifted in me during this trip. The space, the altitude, and the stillness created an inner quiet I had never experienced before. It wasn’t an idea or a clear vision — it felt more like an inner space opening within me. In that moment, I realized how much clarity comes when we step outside of our usual environment.

There is a unique energy in high mountains — from Mount Everest to the Andes Mountains— that gently brings us back into alignment. They ground our nervous system, invite deeper breathing, and open our minds, eyes, and hearts. When there is no constant agenda, the mind softens, and what truly matters becomes easier to see. We return able to serve others without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

Mountains don’t rush us. They remind us to listen.

For those of you whose life’s work is to serve others — social workers, doctors, caregivers, and all who give so much of themselves — this message is for you. Peace and clarity are not something we force; they are something we allow. When we step away from the noise and reconnect with the natural rhythm of life, decisions become simpler, vision becomes clearer, and we return to our work more aligned with who we truly are.

Sometimes the most powerful work begins by standing still long enough to hear what is already within us.

How do you make space in your life for allowing?

My heart felt so full watching Alysa Liu win the gold medal by being her joyful, authentic self on the global stage! Knowing that her father immigrated to the United States as a political refugee didn’t make her feel the need to focus on it; instead, she showed up with her big smile and lighthearted spirit. She focused on human connection, brought awareness to mental health, and honestly reflected on why she retired at the age of 16 — because she wasn’t happy only knowing skating and nothing else in life. She wanted to be free and do her own thing. She didn’t let the title or other people’s voices define her, and she came back because she rediscovered the pure joy of skating again during a mountain ski trip, not as an athlete, but as a normal teenage girl! That feeling that she wanted to do it again — not for the gold, but for the joy. Seeing Alysa Liu’s bright light shine so brightly and joyfully felt perfectly timed, as if it lifted hearts around the world! Thank you for all the love and joy you bring to me this Chinese New Year week!

Let’s stay focused on what brings you joy and happiness! 🙂

Today, February 17th, marks the first day of the Lunar New Year which means January 1st on Lunar Calendar which is based on the Moon 's circle around the Earth. Chinese New Year traditionally usually about two weeks, beginning on the first new moon and complete at the full moon with the lantern festival on March 3rd.

This period offers time and space to cleanse the old, celebrate renewal, reconnect with friends, family and visit our ancestors. Go to temple, give and receive blessings, it's more than rituals, it's about our personal journey and destiny. Give ourselves time before fully ready to step into new cycle with a restored mind, body with intention.

We are officially stepping into the Year of Horse, carrying strong Fire energy this year, which often brings movement, change, and renewed momentum into our life. If you're curious about what this year may bring for you, take a moment to reflect at your life back in 2014, and 2002. The zodiac cycle repeats every 12 years, so themes or lessons from those years may offer clues about what could unfold for you this year.

You may reflect on these four areas of your life in 2014 and 2002:

1, Connection and Relationship
2, Financial situation and career
3, Health and well-being
4, Personal growth and inner development

Ask yourself:

1, What shifts or turning points did I experience during those years?

2, What events or decisions led to those changes?

3, How did my life direction evolve afterward?

By reflecting on 2014 and 2002, you may begin to see patterns or guidance that can help you move consciously into your new cycle.

May this new year bring clarity, courage and desired change for each one of you!

Happy New Year!

Self-love is the unconditional acceptance, respect, and appreciation for oneself.

Bring your attention toward ease — toward what frees you from constantly focusing on the problem — and gently guide it toward what brings appreciation, joy, and peace into your life. When the thinking mind becomes overly active and take away your breathing, It often pulls us back into what is not working, who or what is missing, or how far we feel from where we want to be, and we are not there, and the more we focus on these gaps, the more anxiety, frustration, and disappointment can grow.
In those moments, only you can sense what is happening within you — the tension, the heaviness, the negativity. And the longer we remain there, the further we drift from the lightness and well-being we truly desire.

But you can shift your attention now.

Practice allowing yourself to pause — to take a mental, emotional, and physical break. You do not have to figure everything out in this moment. Instead, gently move your attention, energy, and time toward something that brings ease, joy, or simple peace. For me, sometimes that means taking a ten-minute nap with my cat, listening to his deep breathing, and letting my whole body settle and rest.

If you are in the process of creating something, allow insight and ideas to enter naturally by becoming spacious, rather than forcing motivation or keeping yourself constantly busy just to feel productive and making progress. True change comes when you are relaxed and open, not when you are pushing or forcing yourself forward.

Allow yourself to become spacious. Be the space.

When you give yourself a mental break, you will feel good right away. 🙂

Dear friends,

I hope your new year is unfolding with ease and gentleness, gently rolling us into the first week of 2026!

This is a gentle reminder that our 8-week self-development journey, Bringing Inner Vision to Reality, 1/5-3/2 begins tonight at 7:00 pm (St. Louis time) on Zoom.

This series is an invitation to slow down and come back to what truly matters — to gently unlearn the patterns that keep you stuck or scattered, and to strengthen your relationship with yourself as you bring your inner vision into real life, one week at a time. This is what yoga truly means: union with self.

This journey may be a good fit for you if:

~ You feel called to know yourself more deeply and want to learn how to manage your time, attention, and energy with greater ease.

~ You’re ready to move out of old ways of being and lean toward greater clarity, even if you’re not yet sure how.

~ You’re seeking change that feels sustainable, embodied, and true to you, and you’re ready to begin creating a system that supports your vision.

~ You value a spacious, respectful, and reflective group environment — where inner exploration may include information and emotion, yet clarity is not heavy or rigid. It is simple, light, and grounding.

The reason why it is a 8-week journey because change need time and practice, Imagine we are going for a 8 weeks inner hike together as a small group. At the same time, I understand everyone's work/life schedule is different — so you’re welcome to come as your schedule allows through the class schedule page by week with your class package credit, or drop-in, just make sure you sign up at least 15 mins before the session to receive a link.

My hope is that this offering may support you as you step into 2026 with more steadiness, grounding, and inner clarity!

Hi, I hope you’re staying warm and cozy this week :)

As we enter the final month of the year, I always find myself slowing down a little more. December feels like a special pause — to reflect, to breathe, and to reconnect with the present. While I’m reviewing my year, I’m also thinking about you and the dreams and goals you’re moving toward in 2026.

I’ve walked this path many times myself. I carry many dreams too — visions that inspire me to keep growing and showing up. I personally believe it is our hopes and dreams that lift us up in the morning, filling us with bigger picture and reminding us that every day is another chance to make meaningful changes, both for ourselves and for the people around us. And I deeply believe that each of us has the power to bring those dreams to life.

f you’ve been holding a vision in your heart but aren’t sure how to bring it to life, join our 8-week Self-Development Series. Together we’ll move step-by-step to help you know yourself deeply and build habits that support your goals. We’ll meet on Zoom every Monday from 7:00–8:30 PM (Chicago time). The series begins January 5 and offers guided practices, group reflection, and practical tools to transform intention into action.

Maybe your struggle is a message, a gateway, a new beginning?

Maybe there’s no one in your life teaching you how to love yourself
Maybe you don't have the tools to claim your personal power
Maybe you can’t show up for yourself and use your voice
Maybe you are blocking your healing with old, loveless narratives
Maybe you’re ready to stop mistreating yourself, stop struggling, suffering
Maybe resistance can be traded for acceptance
Maybe you are ready to forgive yourself for missteps and let go of the past
Maybe your mind is stirring, wanting more from life
Maybe you’re hearing the inner call to be more
Maybe you can commit to healing your pain

Maybe it’s time to see your pain as a healing journey

YOU ARE THE ANTIDOTE TO PAIN
There’s someone in your life that loves you deeply
There’s someone that owns your personal power
There’s someone that shows up and boldly speaks your truth
There’s someone enabling your healing with loving, calming narratives
There’s someone being kind, encouraging, energizing your life
There’s someone accepting of all your flaws, insecurities, self-doubt
There’s someone forgiving of your missteps in the past
There’s someone wanting more from life
There’s someone hearing the inner call to live and be more
There’s someone committed to healing your pain as an ongoing journey

"Someone" is YOU and you can choose to heal your mind, body and your heart. - Julie Corpora

The essence of our work is to evolve our minds to a greater understanding of our health and well-being.

When we begin to experience ourselves differently, we experience life differently, we feel more expansive, more at ease, more joy and happiness. Things will begin to manifest with greater ease through intention.

Dear everyone,

In Chinese Five Element theory, autumn corresponds to the Metal element, which is linked to the Lungs and Large Intestine meridians. Metal represents clarity, letting go, and refinement—just as trees shed their leaves, we too are invited to release what no longer serves us.

The emotion connected with Metal is grief. In balance, grief can help us process loss and open space for new beginnings. Out of balance, it may turn into prolonged sadness or difficulty letting go. By nourishing the Metal element, we strengthen the lungs, support immunity, and create emotional resilience.

Autumn is therefore the season of:

Breath → deepening our connection with life energy (Qi/ 氣).

Letting go → physically (colon elimination), emotionally (releasing old attachments), and mentally (clearing cluttered thoughts).

Reflection → appreciating what is essential and true

Join me yoga in the park for a class focused on deepening our connection with lung health, bone density and mental resilience
