Aubrey Rodman is the passionate founder of Bottega Yoga, a Black female-owned yoga studio located in the heart of Wakefield, Rhode Island. Bottega Yoga was created with a clear vision: to offer a space where real people could come, do real yoga, and unapologetically be themselves.

From that vision came the birth of Bottega Retreats—soulful getaways designed to connect you with like-minded individuals in a setting that encourages you to create your own experience. While each retreat offers a wide variety of classes, workshops, and group activities, it’s truly a choose-your-own-adventure. You’re encouraged to participate in it all—but equally honored if you choose to rest, reflect, and simply be. These retreats are about finding your true north, your authentic self, your own soul flow.

Aubrey is known for leading freeform Vinyasa classes—a dynamic style of yoga she’s dubbed “urban flow.” Set to R&B and hip-hop beats, her classes are about more than just movement; they’re about rhythm, breath, sweat, and self-discovery. This philosophy is the heart of the retreats: finding your own rhythm, in your own way, on your own terms.

We hope you’ll join us on this potentially life-changing journey.
Namaste.

Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey, all levels are welcome. Aubrey closes every class with a message that perfectly captures the spirit of her studio and her retreats:

“The light in me honors the light in you.
The love in me honors the love in you.
And the messy human in me honors the messy human in you.”

This is how we invite you to show up: not seeking perfection, but seeking peace within your perfectly imperfect self.
