Hernán “Ors” Gutiérrez, E-RYT 500
Lead Trainer VYTT200 & VYTT300
General Director of VY Vinyasa Yoga
Before dedicating himself fully to yoga, Ors was a musician, audio engineer, and music producer, with a solid career in the world of sound. But at some point, something within him asked for a change of direction: to trade noise for silence, and the stage for the mat. That’s how the path he now shares with such passion was born.
Ors is the heart behind VY Vinyasa Yoga, a school devoted to the training, ongoing education, and conscious evolution of yoga teachers.
Together with his wife Marina Porras and a group of VY Lead Trainers, he has created a teaching model that lives not only in the 200-hour and 300-hour programs, but also in the daily practice and every class shared.
His search has taken him—literally—around the world: from Baja California to Thailand, exploring asana techniques and pathways to spiritual growth. He has studied with teachers of Vinyasa and various other styles of yoga, from the classical focus of Iyengar and Ashtanga, to modern approaches like Rocket Yoga 1, 2, and 3, and Acro Yoga.
In addition, Ors has dedicated over five years to practicing partner acrobatics in the circus style, and has delved into complementary disciplines such as shamanism, Reiki, and life coaching, enriching his holistic view of the human being.
Ors has taught thousands of classes and has certified hundreds of teachers who now guide their own communities.
If you allow it, Ors will teach you with his unique style, easy laughter, and honest outlook that the most important thing is not the shape of the pose, but the non-violence toward your body, the safety in your practice, and the commitment to the philosophy of life behind the discipline he has devoted his life to.
He defines himself as “a regular guy doing his best while collaborating with others to make this world a happier place—spreading peace, love, and freedom in every moment.”
He will show you how to find the balance between physical effort and meditation in motion; how to listen to your body’s limits, to look within, and to discover that what matters most is not the pose… but your breath.
👩🏫 Marina Porras, E-RYT 500
Lead Trainer VYTT200 & VYTT300
Administrative Director of VY Vinyasa Yoga
Marina discovered yoga in August 2006, and from that moment on, her life changed forever.
Graduated as a Chemical Engineer with a master’s degree in business administration, she had a successful professional career… but inside, she felt lost, frustrated, and deeply disconnected.
It was in her first yoga class—and more specifically, in that first savasana—where everything shifted. Yoga brought her confidence, joy, and strength. At first, her path was purely physical: a daily asana practice. But soon, something inside her asked to go deeper.
She began studying yogic philosophy and lifestyle, attending workshops, and eventually decided to dive in completely—not only to learn more deeply but also to share this discipline with responsibility and love.
In 2008, she took her first teacher training, and by April of that year, she was already teaching multilevel vinyasa classes at a gym in her hometown of Monterrey, N.L. What started as a hobby quickly became a vital need.
In February 2009, she left her job as Sales Manager at a well-known international company and fully joined VY Vinyasa Yoga as Administrative Director and lead teacher. Since then, she has worked shoulder to shoulder with Ors, leading one of the few Mexican schools registered with Yoga Alliance as RYS 200 and RYS 300.
Marina has invested over 900 hours in certified training, participating in three 200-hour programs and one advanced 300-hour program, in styles such as Ashtanga, Mandala, Hatha Flow, Rocket, and Vinyasa Flow. She is registered with Yoga Alliance as E-RYT 500.
In addition to her yoga training, Marina has been practicing partner acrobatics in the circus style. She has also explored complementary paths such as shamanism and Reiki, and she was recently certified as a Mindfulness teacher by the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, allowing her to guide deeper processes of introspection, presence, and spiritual connection.
She has taken workshops with internationally renowned teachers such as David Williams, David Swenson, Dharma Mittra, Baptiste Marceau, and Kino McGregor. She has been part of the VY training programs since 2009: first as an assistant, later as a lead trainer, and most recently, as the person directly responsible for the programs.
Marina is a passionate soul, firmly convinced that yoga works almost magically on every person. In each class, she offers her whole heart.
If you allow her, she will guide you in finding the balance between physical effort and meditation in motion; she’ll teach you to listen to your body’s limits, to look within, and to discover that what truly matters is not the pose… but your breath.
