Syena has been a Fitness Instructor since 1971.  She has taught many different types of popular fitness classes including Step Aerobics, Resist-a-ball, Dance Aerobics, Slide, Core Sculpting, and Yoga, to name a few.   Working as a personal trainer she witnessed how difficult it is for many to become balanced in their approach to fitness and wellness.  Our Western culturre obsesses about the physical body, ignoring the important body-mind connection.   It has been Syena's personal experience and understanding that this obsessing on the physical and ignoring our body-mind takes us 'out of balance' and when we are 'out of balance' we struggle with our weight more, our self image, and our lives.
 
This understanding inspired MoTiYoGaChi's birth.  Syena saw so many struggle with poor eating habits, no energy, and a belief that the only solution was to work out harder, and longer.   She wanted to teach a class where participants felt more energized when they left the class, yet very calm and completely de-stressed.    Syena combined the rhythmicTribal movements and added the fluid synchronistic movements similar to Tai Chi and Yoga.  This unique blend combines to energize every cell in the body and calm our busy brains every time, whether we are 8 or 80, out of shape or fit as a fiddle!

Syena is also a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and she believes that proper body movement will allow your energy to flow and this is one of the keys to living a long and healthy life.
