About Me!

Hello, my name is Cora! I am a twenty year old born-and-raised Austinite, and I love so many things, I won’t bother with a list. Although, what I love the most is sharing my favorite things with my community. When you find interesting, challenging, or new things and bring them to your community, you learn so much through shared experiences and new perspectives. One person’s community can be like a tree with branches growing in many directions. Perhaps your community tree has a familial branch, a branch for your roommates, or even a coworker branch. The people who make up your community are the people who uplift you and encourage your growth. A huge reason I made this site was to encourage community synergy. Together we are better.

In early 2025, I attended an eight-week yoga teacher training workshop at Dharma Yoga, Austin’s longest-running yoga studio, and the same studio where my mom got certified to teach in 2011. After graduating, I became a certified teacher of Dharma Yoga. Yoga practice and meditation have truly changed my life for the better. There is so much good that comes from practicing being present in your body. I want to use my knowledge to guide any interested people in my community through approachable yoga and meditation.

While Cora Universe is mostly for fun and personal fulfillment, I also want to cultivate a space that brings community together. I want to meet new people and invite them to a free yoga class! I want to share my current ideas and interests with friends even if they live miles away! This site will serve as a way to organize community yoga classes, but it will also be somewhere for me to share things like personal projects, reflective discussions, recommendations, etc. While sharing my site with others is very important to me, I mostly want Cora Universe to be a little archive of my early twenties!
