An invitation to transform your life

At Blossom Yoga Studio, we deeply believe in the power of yoga as a path of transformation, clarity, and inner growth. For this reason, we are delighted to announce our collaboration with Árbol del Yoga (Guadalajara, Mexico), whose founders — Quetzal Ríos and Cecilia Huerta — will be offering their Vinyasa Chakra Yoga Teacher Training at our studio.

This 200-hour certification is much more than a technical course: it is a journey of self-discovery that invites you to explore yoga from a holistic perspective, integrating body, mind, energy, and consciousness.

Over the course of nine months, you will go through a deep and structured process that combines practice, philosophy, anatomy, methodology, and personal development, all through a unique approach inspired by the chakra system.

Guided by two teachers with more than two decades of experience and a strong track record in training instructors across different countries, this program will provide you with the tools needed to teach with confidence, creativity, and authenticity.

Upon completion, you will receive a certification endorsed by Árbol del Yoga and Yoga Alliance, internationally recognized, allowing you to share your practice anywhere in the world and continue expanding your journey within this discipline.

What is Vinyasa Chakra Yoga?

Vinyasa Chakra Yoga is a dynamic and evolving style that weaves together the ancient wisdom of the chakra system with the fluidity of Vinyasa. In this practice, postures (asanas) are linked through movement and breath, creating sequences that are coherent, meditative, and deeply intentional.

Vinyasa refers to the art of linking postures in a logical and harmonious way, resulting in a fluid and conscious practice. Unlike more static styles of traditional Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa encourages a continuous flow between postures, like a sacred dance in motion.

Chakra refers to the energy centers of the subtle body. Each class in this training is inspired by one of the chakras, allowing for the exploration of the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects associated with each energy center.

Yoga is the philosophical foundation that supports the entire practice. Beyond the physical aspect, it is a path of self-discovery and inner transformation that invites us to reconnect with our true essence.

TRAINING MODEL

The Vinyasa Chakra Yoga (VCY) training model is designed to offer a comprehensive and enriching experience through the 6 Dharmas, the fundamental pillars that structure each module.

These six areas combine theory and practice, creating an ideal balance that allows you to fully enjoy the learning process while developing your highest potential on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

What are the 6 Dharmas?

The term DHARMAS not only represents the pillars of our training, but also functions as an acronym that defines the main areas of focus:


•DH – Human Development:
Personal exploration and growth through the study and practice of the chakra system.


•A – Asana:
Practical labs dedicated to refining alignment, technique, and the fluidity of postures.


•R – Reflection:
A deep understanding of yoga philosophy and its application in everyday life.


•M -Methodology:
Teaching tools and techniques to guide yoga classes effectively and authentically.


•A – Anatomy:
A detailed study of the human body, with a focus on the relationship between anatomy and yoga practice.


•S – Sangha:
Group dynamics that foster integration, a sense of community, and connection with fellow practitioners.

Our Purpose

Through this model, we aim for each module to be a balanced, dynamic, and transformative experience, helping you integrate yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a way of life.

TEACHERS
Quetzal Ríos y Cecilia Huerta

Quetzal Ríos is the co-founder of Árbol del Yoga and a yoga teacher with over twenty years of experience. Raised in the spiritual community of Teopantli Kalpulli, where his parents taught yoga, he grew up immersed in contemplative practices and a vegetarian lifestyle from birth.
Trained in Mexico, the United States, and Brazil, he has explored disciplines such as dance, acrobatics, massage, and various styles of yoga. Since 2002, he has been sharing this practice from direct experience, observation of nature, and a deep humanistic vision in which life itself is his greatest teacher.

He is the creator of the Vinyasa Chakra method, developed over fifteen years, which integrates the elegance of Vinyasa Krama with the chakra system from an energetic and contemporary perspective. He is a lead teacher in Vinyasa Chakra Yoga 200h and Yin Yoga 100h, offering a teaching approach that unites body, mind, and energy.

Within the 300-hour training, he leads modules in Acroyoga, Hands-on Assists, Bhakti Yoga, Inversions, and Thai Yoga Massage, combining technique, presence, and pedagogical sensitivity. Together with his partner Cecilia, he has trained over five hundred instructors, promoting yoga as a path of self-discovery and transformation.

Cecilia Huerta began her journey in yoga in 2005, practicing Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, AcroYoga, and Restorative Yoga. Within the latter, she developed her own unique style, integrating an energetic approach with a gentle, passive, and deeply restorative practice.

She is certified as a yoga teacher by Chidanandi Sheri Cherokee through Alpha Omega Yoga Teacher Trainings, and by Brigitte Longueville from Solstice Yoga Center.

She is a co-founder of the Multicultural Center Árbol del Yoga, from where she has promoted the spread of yoga through large-scale free events, with the intention of making it accessible to everyone.

For seven years, she specialized in providing yoga services within international hotel chains, offering private classes and corporate yoga programs. She has also collaborated with governmental institutions, teaching yoga sessions within the Federal Judiciary.

Currently, Cecilia leads teacher trainings in Vinyasa, Restorative Hatha, and Children’s Yoga, and travels throughout Mexico sharing workshops, courses, and experiences that integrate technique, sensitivity, and depth in practice.

ÁRBOL DE YOGA

Árbol del Yoga was founded in 2007 in Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco, Mexico) with the intention of creating a community united by the lifestyle that yoga inspires. In 2015, it relocated to Guadalajara and is currently registered with Yoga Alliance (YA), the international organization that certifies schools with high training standards.

Founded by Quetzal Ríos and Cecilia Huerta—both experienced teachers and certified E-RYT—Árbol del Yoga encourages students to connect with a sense of community and open themselves to the transformation that yoga offers. We believe that the more people practice yoga, the better the world becomes.
