Kelly is the first Sling, Trapeze, Aerial Fitness + Yoga and AcroYoga teacher in Greenville. Since founding MAYA, Greenville's first aerial studio in early 2014, she has put Aerials on the map in GVL, both by performing around town and training up a flock of new aerial coaches. Kelly founded MAYA as a sling-based studio and started all her trainees on progression-based Sling fitness drills and sequential moves. She is now developing a Sling teaching manual from her teacher trainings at MAYA. She is on a teaching hiatus.
