Hi, There! I'm Karlene Marie. (aka "aerial yoga girl") An aerialist, writer, yogi, world traveler, healer, light worker, and, most importantly, a TEACHER - And I am in the business of helping others be Happy, Healthy, and Free. I want to help you get your business idea from your Mind and Into the World. |
A Little Bit More on My Background...Almost a decade ago I remember watching my first Cirque du Soleil show, and being captivated by the woman dancing in the air on crimson red silks. At the time, I was a High School History teacher by day and Pilates and Yoga Instructor at night, working on my certifications in Nutrition and Personal Training. At 23 years old I never thought I would one day be able to take my own fitness in the air like this beautiful Cirque du Soleil performer, let alone run a studio centered around this beautiful art. The strength, beauty, coordination, and flexibility that comes together in aerial has become a passion
~ I have fused with other fitness areas, including Yoga, Dance, Weight Training, and Pilates. With the advent of aerial fitness popping up around the world, I wanted to create a program rooted in proper training, nutrition, conditioning, and injury prevention. Kama Fitness Studio and Kama Fit TV were born as a result of this need, along with our Teacher Training for Aerial Yoga and eBooks. ~ I have developed several fitness businesses online, in peoples’ homes, in a home-based studio, organized and ran retreats and teacher trainings in places like Bali, Costa Rica, and Alaska, and currently manage a commercial based studio, all in the last 15 years. ~ From hosting a fitness blog that would receive 100,000 readers a month, to a studio that generated over $100,000 a year in sales, to an online presence selling eBooks, video tutorials, including YouTube videos with over 200,000 views, all without paying for online marketing or ads. And I am still growing, expanding, and evolving my business. ~ It is my hope that these resources will serve as guides for aspiring aerialists, yogis, and wellness advocates lout there who wish to create a business that is aligned with their true health, happiness, and gives them financial freedom to serve their community. Light and Love, Karlene Linxweiler (Aerial Yoga Girl) |
