As a kid, Aruna (aka Karen Andes) loved to run around and fortunately has never stopped! But her dedication to lifetime fitness was inspired by seeing how unhealthy habits ruined the lives of friends and family.

She's been dancing for almost 50 years and teaching for 30. Her mindful and playful approach to movement includes bodybuilding, dance (bellydance, jazz, aerial & pole dance in particular), martial arts, yoga, etc.

Aruna has written 5 books on fitness, produced 19 video-dvd's and was Cher's trainer on "Cher's Body Confidence."

Aruna is the co-owner of WorldDance Fitness in
San Anselmo.
