Led by Aubrea Maelee

Born and raised in LA County, I moved to the East Coast for college in 2012 where I

studied English Literature and French. After briefly teaching English in France, I

found my way to Boston in 2017. In my years here I have experimented with several

different career paths including working as a barista, an editorial assistant in a

publishing house, and now as a host/server at a restaurant and yoga teacher. I am

discovering that my purpose lies in strengthening connections wherever I go and

being part of work cultures that feel like family is integral to realizing that aspiration.

Trained as an academic, I discovered the benefits of yoga when my mental and

physical health pulled my attention away from the life of the mind and into my body.

To take on the difficult transition out of the classroom and onto the mat, I had to learn

to motivate myself through challenge using compassion and encouragement rather

than self criticism and judgement. Yoga was an indispensable tool in cultivating this

supportive approach. Yoga taught me that to become the hero of my own story, I first

had to become my own friend.

This radical shift in perspective has inspired me to teach others to turn towards

themselves with kindness and curiosity when strong sensation arises. My intention is

to guide students towards the understanding that whatever intensity they may be

facing, they can trust and appreciate their bodies as a space of refuge. My ambition

to teach arises from an earnest desire to help people feel safe connecting deeply

with themselves, and from that place of self intimacy, empower them to reach out

and build transformative relationships with others. To step into one of my classes is

to allow yourself the opportunity to befriend your inner world, and subsequently

extend that attitude of friendship beyond the boundaries of the self.
