Welcome to Nurtured Alignment Yoga. Carlie + Rachel offer you a sanctuary for your life’s yoga journey. Our retreats + experiences invite you to nourish your mind, restore your body, and reconnect with your inner self. Through daily movement, mindful stillness, and meaningful connection, we’ll explore what education + yoga beyond the mat means to you.

The dates for our retreat are April 28-May 2, 2027. Our home for our 2027 Tuscan retreat will be Cuore Retreat Center. Nestled in the countryside of Tuscany, just 30 minutes outside Arrezo, Cuore’s founders, Christina + Kaan, have taken the home built on the Il Castellaccio from ancient ruins and revived it to present-day glory.

Intentional Community

Through an embodied daily practice, your community will surround you with support of your personal growth.

Facilitator Expertise

Cultural Immersion

We believe travel and exploration gift us the tools to move through life intentionally with curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to learn from the world outside your hometown.

Carlie

International Yoga Teacher + Co-Dreamer

Growing up in Spain taught me to witness the uniqueness of different cultures and the value of immersing myself fully in new ways of life, language, and food — it shaped my curiosity, my adaptability, my awareness.

Yoga has been part of me for as long as I can remember, long before I had a name for it. It's a deepening of how we understand ourselves, a practice of living in harmony — through movement, community, and learning from others. It teaches me the expansiveness of my breath and how to stay present with life exactly as it is — vulnerable, curious and in awe.

I've traveled facilitating embodiment practices, weaving together different yoga lineages, somatic movement, nervous system regulation techniques and other cultural elements gathered along the way.

I believe yoga is a gift to be shared — a space to find grounding, hold strength and softness simultaneously, and embody the peace already within us.

Founder, RealBeautifulYOU + Co-Dreamer

Rachel

Homegrown in northern Illinois, I have found my cultural identity through family + friends, and moments of travel in the in-between. I was taught to be curious and educated and always, always to ask the questions- but more importantly, look for my own answers.

I was introduced to yoga as a young teen; attending community classes with my mom changed the trajectory of my life in a way that I could have never imagined. Yoga became the constant in young, angsty years and the practice I learned I not only wanted to return to, but that welcomed me back every time with a sense of ease and comfort.

I dreamt of my own studio for years, and began the ever-growing, ever-changing journey of building in 2020 and have never once looked back. The space I’ve created has become not only my home, but given home to countless hearts, souls, and mats over the days past.

Yoga offers me comfort, empowerment, and beauty beyond words. I wish only the same for you.
