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.
