The Caño Cristales of Emilia Arenas

Buenos Dias, mis amigas!  We hope you settling in to your Sunday morning. It is our honour to share with you all a conversation with our dear friend Emilia, who teaches Ashtanga Yoga in Miami. We met her many years ago on tour with Paramaguru R. Sharath Jois, and we are excited to talk with her again. We found out about her childhood in Bogatá and the impact of the Medellín Cartel on her family, and we talked about the American appetite for narcotics that sewed that destructive force in her life. This led quite naturally to a frank conversation about NA and AA and the role those positive communities had in getting her clean and sober and becoming now a “mamá caliente.“

Emilia  is an Ashtanga Yoga teacher in Miami Beach. She started her journey in  Yoga nearly 20 years ago and she embarked on a long research of  different styles and teachers until she found Ashtanga yoga and decided  to move to Miami to learn from her teachers Kino Macgregor, Tim Feldmann  and Greg Nardi.

Her passion is showing her students the beauty  and transformative aspects of the practice of Ashtanga yoga. Her classes  are filled with joy and enthusiasm and her goal is to pass onto them  the devotion that has been passed to her by her teachers.
