FOUNDERS STORY
Meet Aligné
A Space to Belong. A Journey to Share.
Aligné began when Nia returned to the U.S. from Australia and went looking for a community that could move with her day—movement in the morning, culture by evening, conversation in between. She pictured a single circle where the mat and the table felt naturally connected, and the same women showed up for both.
From that vision came a standard: experiences where women of color are not just invited, but centered; not simply included, but considered; not marketed to, but reflected. Aligné curates warm, elevated moments designed with care and ease—so connection feels natural and belonging feels inevitable.
Three words that define us: Connection. Representation. Belonging.
What We Create
• Movement Sessions: group workouts and studio classes.
• Gathered Tables: intimate dinners, tastings, and activities.
• Destination Experiences: city pop‑ups and retreats.
Expect to leave with a saved contact, a next plan, and the feeling you belong here.
My Mantra
We take up space—gracefully and fully. In every room, on every mat, at every table.
— Nia, Founder of Aligné
