Rosangela Mastalia & Brandy Pollock 

AURA was founded by two best friends who met in Los Angeles in 2007 and became instantly connected. Over the past two decades, they have supported each other through all of life's stages.

Both committed to leading healthy and balanced lives, Rosangela's journey of spiritual growth through yoga and Brandy's transformative experience of motherhood inspired the co-creation of AURA Sacred Space.

Brandy is a serial entrepreneur, wellness enthusiast, fashion designer, and mother of two who grew up in Los Angeles, California. She has always encouraged women to harness their own power through all stages of life. Working as a designer, she fell in love with her now life partner and they relocated to his home city, Rome. Her motherhood journey and living as an expat sparked a new passion for creating the AURA Nurture program, supporting mothers & children through wellness. Her design background inspired the curation of the Aura boutique which focuses on yoga essentials, eco friendly and sustainable brands. 

Rosangela, a dedicated yoga practitioner, sales executive, "adventure capitalist," and certified RYS yoga instructor, has found sanctuary on her mat since 2006. She believes that true magic lies just beyond discomfort, inspiring her to create AURA Sacred Space Rome. She moved from Italy to New York at the age of five but grew up in an Italian community on the northeast coast of the United States. Her fascination with Italy stemmed from her deep connection to Italian culture, choosing ROME as the perfect flagship yoga and wellness studio, fulfilling both her and her father's dream of having a business in Italy.

Rosangela and Brandy joined forces to create AURA with a mission to curate memorable experiences that celebrate, support, and empower the community through wellness and music.

An offering of love and gratitude.
