Bio:
Maelis is the owner of Bounce Yoga, a new style of yoga under construction, as well as the host of The Bounce Back Podcast, a podcast about yoga as it relates to being a tool for resiliency. She began her personal practice over 10 years ago, studied yoga technique and history in college and over the last few years, has decided to take her curiosity and passion to the next level by becoming a certified yoga instructor. She completed her first RYT® 200 training at Evolution Power Yoga in 2016 and followed it with becoming a Level 1 and 2 Reiki Practitioner under the teaching of Reiki Master Guillaume Gauthereau in NYC. She recently completed a RYT® 200 Alignment Yoga training through The Yoga Sanctuary School in Lancaster, PA, and since has taught hundreds of classes from NYC, PA & DMV to her most recent stint in Jamaica. Maëlis is passionate and on a life-long quest to learn about how relational energy, philosophy, psychology, meditation, mindfulness and spirituality can be used for healing. The ultimate goal — create space for self-empowerment and in turn, make the world a more joyful place. Her personal yoga practice is quite diverse and includes trampoline yoga, hip-hop yoga, Bhakti yoga, traditional vinyasa and more. Maëlis’ classes are designed to activate the body, mind and spirit and to create joy, peace and universal love. She often bases her classes on chakra yoga techniques, relating her lessons to colors and energetic movement. She enjoys teaching a weekly class at Gold's Gym Rockville at Randolph Road (which she also manages) and at local schools for elementary school aged kids. You can also find Maelis' classes online on a platform called Burnalong.
