Aura Studio began in 2019 with one Barre class and one big dream.

Founder Kailey first discovered her passion while teaching dance and Barre in Carman. She fell in love with the energy of group fitness, the relationships it created, and the confidence it inspired—but she also saw an opportunity to do things differently.

She wanted to create a space that felt less intimidating than a traditional gym. Somewhere people could arrive exactly as they were, move in a way that felt good for their body, and leave feeling stronger than when they walked in.

What started as a handful of Barre classes has grown into a thriving dance and fitness community offering everything from Strength and Pilates to Spin, Yoga, Zumba, Barre, and a growing dance program.

Every new class, instructor, and milestone has been built with the same vision that inspired Aura from day one:

To create a place where people genuinely feel like they belong.

We believe movement looks different for everyone. Some days you arrive ready to give everything. Some days you're simply proud that you made it through the door. Both are worth celebrating. Our instructors meet you where you're at—not where they think you should be. We focus on proper guidance, encouragement, and creating an environment where you can challenge yourself while feeling completely supported.

Community

Community is the heart of everything we do.

Aura isn't just about taking classes together—it's about building genuine relationships. It's celebrating milestones, remembering birthdays, asking about each other's families, and showing up for one another inside and outside the studio.

Because fitness feels different when you know someone is cheering you on.

Knowledge

We're committed to continual learning.

Our instructors are passionate about education, training, and delivering classes that are safe, effective, and welcoming for everyone at every level.

The more we grow, the better we can serve our community.

Innovation

We love putting our own Aura signature on movement.

Whether it's introducing new class formats, expanding our dance program, or finding creative ways to make fitness more enjoyable, we're always looking for ways to keep movement fresh, fun, and meaningful.

Mindfulness

We move together—but your journey is your own.

We encourage every member to focus on what their body needs that day, celebrate progress over perfection, and leave feeling stronger both physically and mentally.
