I was born in Colombia. I have been practicing yoga daily since 1996. Since 2005, I devote most of my time and energy to studying yoga and learning how to teach it. To this day, I continue to study, practice, teach, and learn, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from so many teachers, especially my students. I continue to learn how to make yoga more beneficial for enhancing the quality of our lives by opening our minds and hearts.

In recent years, I have also resumed painting. My encaustic paintings are influenced by my daily yoga and meditation practice. My paintings are available at https://www.rubenvasquezart.com/.
