Carlie is thrilled to be co-hosting a yoga retreat in Greece. She fell in love with yoga while in college and completed her 200-hour teacher training at Chicago Yoga Center. After just two years of teaching yoga Carlie was asked to take over the yoga studio. She has now been the proud owner of Sun and Moon Yoga in Park Ridge, Illinois, since 2009. Since that time, her studio has become a sacred healing space for many.

Carlie has a deep passion for yoga and it is her blessing to guide others in the practice. Her specialties include teaching a powerful Vinyasa Flow class and bringing yogis into a state of bliss with a calming restorative practice. She weaves meditation, breathwork, and yoga philosophy into her classes. She believes in the connection between yoga and life; what we learn on the mat we can carry into our daily lives, living from our heart center with pure love even in the midst of challenging circumstances, and the importance of just showing up, following your heart, and trusting you will end up where you are supposed to be.
