MARCOS CARRILLO

I’ve always been passionate about movement. Growing up, baseball was my life, and I played all the way through college. But over time, the sport began to feel more like work, and I knew it was time to step away. Even so, my love for staying active never faded.

One day, while searching for workout videos on YouTube, I discovered calisthenics athletes performing incredible feats of strength and control. Inspired, I joined a local group called Dallasthenics and dove headfirst into their challenging Sunday bodyweight workouts. That passion led me to compete in calisthenics competitions in both Houston and Dallas, deepening my connection to fitness and what the human body is capable of.

Around the same time, I found yoga—and it was life-changing. The balance of strength, mindfulness, and movement drew me in. After attending weekly classes, my instructor encouraged me to pursue Yoga Teacher Training. That decision marked a turning point. I fell in love not just with the practice but with teaching, too.

Becoming a full-time yoga teacher was a leap of faith. To make it work, I taught multiple styles of yoga and started leading workout classes in gyms and parks. I dedicated myself to continuing education, earning certifications in mobility and corrective exercise to provide my students with the best experience possible. Before long, I became known as “the mobility guy” at the studios I worked with, and by my third year, I was honored to facilitate Yoga Teacher Training programs myself.

With a solid foundation in movement and education, I expanded into personal training. This journey has been the most rewarding chapter yet. From crafting personalized fitness plans to being a trusted coach and accountability partner, I truly love helping others unlock their potential. Starting with yoga taught me to see fitness as more than just physical—it’s about mindset, habits, and meaningful goals.
