JoSE CASILLAS

200 YTT

Ever a warrior, Warrior Yogi Jose S. Casillas fought to heal his heart, mind and body from multiple combat deployments while serving in Army. Searching to overcome personal challenges including a diagnosis of PTSD in 2007, Jose found yoga. Through the daily practice of yoga, he learned to quiet his mind, open his heart and relieve chronic pain while improving his strength, flexibility, balance and posture.
 
After 22 years of service to our country, Jose retired and embraced a new journey dedicated to wellness. As a certified 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Jose finds great joy in sharing the practice of yoga with others. Whether working with private clients or large groups, seniors or schoolchildren, newcomers or seasoned yogis, Jose fosters a supportive environment that guides each individual on a journey of self-discovery through movement.
 
Jose’ intentional focus on building connection through shared breath and shared movement and his warm welcome and embrace of anyone who wants to try has nurtured strong communities wherever he teaches. His focus on community building through yoga is infectious and has resulted in one of the largest weekly community yoga classes in the area.
