In the pursuit of well-being and consciousness, I have devoted much of my life to studying, practicing, and teaching tools that integrate body, mind, and spirit.

I took my first yoga class when i was fifteen, guided only by the desire to feel better in my body and in my heart. I didn’t fully understand what yoga was, yet that first encounter awakened something subtle and powerful—an inner stillness, a presence i had never experienced before.
That moment planted a quiet seed, but it wasn’t until 2013 that yoga returned to my life with a completely different energy—more conscious, more intentional, and undeniably transformative. It stopped being something i practiced only from time to time and became an essential part of my life, a path of self-inquiry, healing, and awakening.

For several years i explored different forms of modern yoga, and in 2015, Ashtanga Yoga became the axis of my path, a practice of surrender that changed the way i perceived myself and my experience in this world.

Throughout more than a decade, i have traveled across Mexico, the United States, Canada, and India to deepen in the roots of the lineage, studying with teachers such as Paramaguru Sharath Jois, David Robson, Kino MacGregor, and Tim Feldmann.

Between 2016 and 2023 i made several study and practice trips to India, dedicating months to a full immersion at the Sharath Yoga Centre in Mysore, under the direct guidance of Sharath Jois. Being there, at the source of Ashtanga Yoga, was a transformative experience; every breath, every adjustment, and every silence revealed something new about surrender and faith. In the midst of India’s noise and chaos, i found a deep stillness, a teaching on presence that no other experience had shown me before.

During those years i also had my first formal approach to meditation with the teachers Narasimhan and Jayashree, in Mysore. That practice opened in me a doorway to the most subtle, the observation of the mind, the power of silence, and the experience of consciousness beyond the body.

In 2023 I received Sharathji's Level 2 Authorization, and a year later I had the honor of participating in his last course, the Active Series Intensive at the University of Virginia. Those moments marked a before and after in my journey, sealing a cycle of learning with the same gratitude with which it began.

In 2016 i founded Kórima Yoga Studio in Puerto Vallarta, and in 2023, Kórima Ashtanga Yoga Shala, spaces dedicated to sharing the teachings of yoga from presence, discipline, and the heart.

Years later, my inner search took a new direction. Although my first encounter with meditation had taken place in india, it was not until i discovered the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza that i began to study the mind on a deeper level. His methods revealed to me the real power that thoughts and elevated emotions have to transform biology, energy, and reality itself.
In 2025, i had the opportunity to study directly with him, experiencing firsthand the coherence between the heart and the brain, conscious meditation, and working with the quantum field as a source of healing and creation.

Today, with more than a decade devoted to studying, practicing, and sharing, i recognize among the most important tools in my life those that have guided me toward consciousness: yoga, meditation, breath, movement, and mindfulness. All of them have shown me that true inner work begins in silence, in that space where the mind becomes still, the heart expands, and energy finds its natural order.

I have come to understand that well-being is not limited to the body; it embraces the mind, the energy, and the soul. every experience, even the most challenging ones, has reaffirmed my certainty in the presence of something greater, a divine consciousness that guides and sustains everything.

In that process, i learned that practice, regardless of its form, is only a means. What truly matters is the intention behind each step, returning to oneself, inhabiting the present, and recognizing the light we already are.
When we remember that light, we also remember our connection to the infinite field of divine energy that creates all things, the universe that lives within and sustains us, and from there, we understand that every breath, every thought, and every conscious act is an expression of the love that unites us with All.
