Meet your facilitators

Jose Portillo, 500-HR E-RYT

“Your teaching practice is just an extension of your yoga practice. In the same way that it takes months and years to get stronger at handstand or other advanced postures, the same will be with teaching. It will take time, love, patience and dedication to become the teacher you want to be and it will constantly be evolving.” Over the past 5 years of facilitating and leading teacher trainings, Jose has always shared this with people going through their yoga teaching journey as it has served him well in the past 6 years of teaching.

Jose found yoga in 2017 at a pivotal moment in his life where it fully transformed not just his body but also his mind. Wanting to learn more and understand why yoga was so powerful and resonated so strongly to him, he signed up for his first training shortly after getting on his mat for the first time. Since then, Jose has completed a 300 hour training and dedicates himself full time to teaching yoga in the Houston area and now around the world as co-lead for Create Your Fate Retreats.

With strong foundations as a creative Vinyasa teacher, Jose also has training in Yin/Restorative and somatic work. His classes are dynamic and powerful with tons of creative movement and moments of reflection on ones ability to push past their own limits to realize that they are stronger than they think and limitless. With a background in vocal and musical stage performance, Jose also brings musicality into his classes and teachings and prepares his trainees for the world of teaching by helping them find their voice.

 

 

Candice Quino, 200-HR E-RYT


With over a decade of teaching experience, Candice brings a mischievous, unconventional spirit to the mat. Her classes are challenging and thoughtful—a blend of traditional vinyasa and a yoga-meets-martial-arts edge. Known for coloring outside of the lines, she creates a space where students are encouraged to trust their inherent creativity, embrace their inner authority, and celebrate their own uniqueness.


Candice’s teaching is rooted in the union of opposites—inviting honest exploration, even of the parts we tend to withhold. Music plays a central role in her classes, helping set a tone that’s both immersive and unexpected.


Forever a student herself, she holds multiple 200-hour certifications and continues to evolve her practice and teachings. Off the mat, you can find her enjoying raccoon memes, just about anything caffeinated, anime marathons, and expanding her beloved Sailor Moon collection.

The tranquility of Sumberkima Hill awaits.

What people are saying...

Nurtured, Challenged, Forever Changed

"When I enrolled in Jose's YTT, I was filled with self-doubt about my abilities. From our first session, Jose created a nurturing environment where I felt safe to explore and grow. His professional approach combined with genuine warmth helped me overcome the insecurities that had previously limited my practice.


With remarkable empathy, Jose recognized when I needed to be challenged and when I needed reassurance. During our meditation sessions, Jose guided us toward inner stillness with remarkable skill, helping me connect deeply with my true self—this profound realization transformed not only my practice but how I approach life's challenges with newfound clarity and intention.


What I value most about Jose's training is how he empowered me to develop an authentic, sustainable practice. Beyond the certification, I gained the confidence to listen to my body, adapt practices to suit my evolving needs, and connect with the deeper spiritual aspects of yoga. This training wasn't just about learning to teach—it was about discovering my own path as a practitioner. For anyone looking to deepen their relationship with yoga, Jose's training is transformative."

-- Katy S.

Guided, Grateful, and Forever Inspired

"I first met Jose during a casual class at Black Swan Yoga, and I remember thinking, “Wow—I have to come back for this class!” When I decided to pursue my Yoga Teacher Training, I was thrilled to find out Jose would be one of the lead instructors. His knowledge, guidance, and presence had a profound impact on my journey, and I can honestly say much of who I am as a yoga instructor today is because of him.

Jose is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply attuned to the musicality of the practice—something I truly admire and connect with. I’m endlessly grateful for his mentorship, both during YTT and beyond, and I continue to look to him as a source of inspiration."

-- Sarah B.
