Be Remarkable

a workshop for yoga teachers & fitness leaders
hosted by Amber Karnes
New dates coming soon! Join the hotlist to be the first to know when I announce.
What to expect
Together, we’ll explore questions like:
🧘♀️ Why should students care about your yoga class?
(What’s in it for them? Why this class, right now?)
🌟 What is your unique point of view as a yoga teacher?
With countless other options available, what makes you stand out from any other yoga teacher in your city?
🌈 What is your vibe?
What’s it like to be part of your community container during class?
🤗 How do you make students feel truly welcome?
How do you create a sense of belonging and community in your classes?
🫶 Build Community, Make Connections
You’ll learn what it means to apply a business owner’s mindset to your teaching and take ownership of your classes in a fresh, empowered way. We’ll dive into strategies for building community, nurturing relationships with your students, and creating an experience that keeps them coming back week after week.
💫 Discover Your Unique Teaching Vibe
Through guided prompts, you’ll explore your personal values, skills, and lived experience, and consider how they shape the way you teach. You’ll also learn how to uncover your signature vibe so you can stand out in a crowded market and design a class experience that feels meaningful and magnetic to the right students.
✍️ Polish Your Messaging & Speak with Confidence
You’ll leave the workshop with tangible tools, including an updated written bio and class description. We’ll also practice speaking confidently about your classes in a way that feels natural and draws in your ideal students.
🌟 Become an Unforgettable Teacher
This workshop will help you present yourself professionally and connect more deeply with your students.
What students are saying
“Amber’s workshop alleviated my concerns about being overly dependent on social media to achieve success as a yoga teacher. It helped me define more clearly who my ideal students are, what type of teacher I am, and how I want to market myself.
“Beyond the invaluable actionable information provided, I would recommend Amber’s workshop because it was all about building community and making connections, which is what brought me to yoga in the first place!”
-Delavan K., Yoga teacher, New York City
After this workshop, you’ll understand how:
Building community in your classes and developing your unique point of view as a teacher enables you to:
📅 Pack out your classes (and get paid more)
👯♀️ Have a personal street team of dedicated students who recruit for you
🌟 Build a reputation as the teacher that people come to for [thing you’re an expert at]
🚀 Level up as a yoga teacher: your classes are a potential starting point to doing other cool stuff (like leading retreats, booking workshop tours, guest teaching spots, etc.)
Who is this for?
This workshop is geared toward yoga teachers, but all the information I’ll be sharing can apply to folks who work with group or 1:1 clients:
💪 group fitness instructors & coaches – pilates, dance, gym fitness classes, strength training
💆 wellness practitioners – massage, reiki, acupuncture
🤗 counselors, therapists, coaches
What students are saying
“I felt like Amber’s workshop was very helpful in giving me insight on how to better attract the type of students to my classes that I feel most comfortable teaching. It helped me realize that I need to narrow in on what I do best and who would relate to me best. I understand now why I felt so overwhelmed and defeated before. Thanks Amber!”
-Dana C., Yoga teacher, Charlottesville, Virginia
Why you should learn about this topic from me
Hi, I’m Amber Karnes. I’ve launched a ton of online projects and in person communities, with decades of experience as a marketing strategist and event planner. Community building is my life’s work.
🧘♀️ I am the creator of Body Positive Yoga and other successful projects in yoga-land such as Yoga For All training and Accessible Yoga School
🎪 I have 25+ years of experience as an event planner I’ve hosted retreats, conferences, craft shows, festivals, concerts, workshop tours, band tours, and countless skillshares and classes
🎸 I’ve built in-person communities from hardcore punk shows to artist networks to a youth-led custom bike sticker shop for wheelie kids
🌍 My work today is helping solo business owners with marketing strategy and leading adventure retreats for daring women
My Yoga Journal cover & feature story, November-December 2020
If you want to be able to do cool stuff with your yoga teaching like lead retreats internationally (and get paid well), book a workshop tour, get paid to teach at someone else’s retreat or training, teach private yoga for hundreds of dollars an hour, headline a festival, or whatever you are dreaming of… you need a loyal following. You need true fans.
Your weekly class is the place where all that starts!
🤔 Whether you know it or not, you are building a reputation. It takes effort to build a loyal following, but maybe not the kind that you think.
You do not need to constantly post on social media or have the most expensive clothes or be the hottest or whatever.
Packed classes don’t just happen to you. But you can absolutely create a consistently packed class when you take ownership of your reputation, your creativity, and your students’ experience.
💥 Let’s learn it together. I hope you’ll join me!

You created such a comfortable and welcoming learning environment, and I’m so glad we now have a cohesive vision for the type of experience we strive to bring our students at Yogamaya. Also, I still needed a bio, and now feel like I have a solid starting point!

Amber simplifies the marketing process for small business owners. She’s relatable, gives practical tools and is a genius for creating community.

Kathleen
I’ve been a successful employee for decades, and it’s a big jump now to be my own boss. There is a lot I am trying that is not in my comfort zone, so by the end of the webinar, I found a smile on my face feeling I wasn’t alone in trying new things out even when I’m scared.
