Over the years, I have sporadically participated
in aerobics classes, dance classes, yoga and other workout programs.
Motiyogachi is unique in many ways. It is very easy for a
'first-timer' to learn and feel comfortable with the movements from
the beginning. Although the movements are low impact and most people
have little difficulty in performing them, Moti provides an excellent
workout for even the most avid exerciser. The incorporated breathing
techniques and the beautiful, spiritual music (which one never tires
of) add to the overall uplifting sense of being that Moti leaves you
with. In my 53 years, I have never found a more satisfying nor
effective exercise class. Mary Weber Reno, Nevada I have been coming to MoTiYoGaChi classes for 3 years now. There are two things I like about doing MoTiYoGaChi one is Syena and the other is learning about myself, my body, and sharing spirit within with those around me in class. MoTiYoGaChi helps me on my path to self-fulfillment, to find peace within, and the discovery that strength comes not from how much weight you can lift, but how much you can lift others around you up! One of the reasons that keeps me coming back to MoTiYoGAChi is that it is one of the few things in life that helps keep me on the path. When I hear "free your mind" in the one song in MoTiYoGaChi, it truly does... free my mind. I would do anything to further the world knowing about Moti... Susan Henderson Fallon, Nevada I like everything about MoTiYoGaChi the music, the movements and especially the teacher, Syena. I've been coming to MoTiYoGaChi from the very beginning. I was at the very first class that Syena taught. MoTiYoGaChi fulfills some deep spiritual need for me. When I do moti I often mentally and spiritually go to another place. The music, the moves and the energy keep me hooked! It's fun too! MoTiYoGAChi is an important part of my life. It's like an addiction, I gotta have my moti for balance and my well-being. I make time for Moti... Korena Mewaldt Fallon, Nevada I've never looked forward to daily exercise on a long-range basis as much as I do with Motiyogachi. It's more of a spiritual energy thing than exercise. It's like traveling to some other beautiful world in your mind, and your body just naturally follows along. I even recorded the soundtrack from the video onto an audio tape so that when we travel I can still work out without a VCR.Even though I love your video and do a portion of it almost every day, it would still be great to do a "real" class again. If you get something going in Reno, please let me know. It has truly changed my life! Liz Gray Reno, Nevada I love and thank Syena for introducing MoTiYoGaChi Video into my life. I could not do any of the exercise programs out there, although I would try. They were too hard on my body. Sometimes I can do the first and third segments of the MoTiYoGaChi video and some days just the first segment, and some days all 3. I am 65 years young and for the first time, I found a movement class that I can do everyday. It helps to deal with body, mind and spirit as one. It relaxes my muscular tension and balances my body. Thank you again Syena. Shirley Bryant Fallon, Nevada I love going to the MoTiYoGaChi class. I can be feeling tired and drained and within five minutes of class I have so much renewed energy. I believe this comes from the instruction of Syena, the movements and breathing, and the camaraderie of the group. You can feel the transformation of the group as soon as the music starts. People begin to smile and get energized and you can feel the spirit of energy all around you. Syena has created a truly unique and wonderful class that anyone can benefit from. Leave your worries behind and try a little MoTi....!!! Debi Henning Fallon, Nevada I have been coming to MoTiYoGaChi since 1999 off and on when Syena has held classes in Reno. These things keep me coming back.. The wonderful physical exercise for my body, the mental discipline for my mind and the spiritual calming of my soul. There is such a feeling of accomplishment & fulfillment. After all the vigorous exercising, I like the very end of the class when you lie quietly on your mat releasing all thoughts and cares to the air and drift off to another peaceful place. I also like the unusual music that Syena presents. MoTiYoGaChi makes me feel just great and I gain a healthy, strong, toned body, and a peaceful mind too. Jane Porter Reno, Nevada I've been coming to 'Moti' on and off now for four years. Motiyogachi makes me feel like a conscious, alive, aware, 'in touch with the earth' kind of woman. I get a good workout, yet I'm never sore or feel like I need an adjustment the next day. It's fun, easy and invigorating! I enjoy the combination of the tribal dance moves, especially all the African music and it blends well with the Zen like tai chi moves and the elongating movement of yoga at the end. I also appreciate when possible Syena will do an especially long shivasana at the end... that's my favorite part! Julie De Jong Reno, Nevada I have been coming to Motiyogachi for about 4 years now. I think what initially attracted me was the music. It was different from any other 'exercise class' I had been to and I really liked it. However, once I got the routine down, I came back for the energy that Syena gives off and what 'Moti' seemed to create in the room. The group was always composed of really nice people who welcomed everyone and weren't there just to 'be seen'. They seemed so genuine in their efforts to maintain their own sense of balance and self. I think the best part of Moti is how it makes me feel during and afterwards. It really helps sustain my body and keep it flowing freely from all the constant daily abuse I subject it too! It forces me to devote some time to listen to my body as it moves, stretches, and becomes quiet. I never realize how much my body misses that until I get back to Moti and feel the difference it makes in everyday routine. Moti has given me a sense of myself that continues to expand on itself. It has put me in contact with some remarkable people and given me the opportunity to do things I never would have done without it. It has also given me a true friend and teacher in Syena. She exhibits a level of command and understanding of her body which serves as a goal for my own progression. I like Moti because I know I will be able to do it forever, at any age and at any level. It accommodates everyone, without exception, and still has the ability to be personally challenging every time. It is a great metaphor for life! Judi Kohn Reno, Nevada |
