Serina is able to combine genres of fitness to create fresh, fun, creative classes that create community and joy.

Her studies go beyond the physical. She combines her knowledge of chakras, meditation, breathing (prana), essential oils, chanting, reiki, sexuality, anatomy, and an occasional beat on the djembe drum to bring together mind, body and spirit in every class. It is a work-in as much as it is a work-out.
