As a classical ballet dancer in the Bay Area, Selena attended the City Ballet School where she studied as well as instructed. She toured as a guest lead dancer with the Robert Henry Johnson Dance Company nationally. Selena also choreographed ballets for members of her ballet school.
Upon moving to New York, Selena became the Capezio Pointe shoe foot model and began studying Pilates as a method of cross training to continue her dance career. I felt such a difference in my dancing abilities from my Pilates sessions. I saw significant change in flexibility, core strength, lengthening of muscles, and relief from an ongoing ankle injury, explains Selena.
Four years later, returning to San Francisco, she became certified as a Pilates instructor through the ITT program with Madeline Black. Her own experience has helped her work with severely injured clients looking to find physical relief, to the competitive athlete who use Pilates as an integral part of their health routine. In addition to her ITT training, Selena has completed the Long Beach Dance Advances in Pilates Technique and the SynergySystems Mat certification, both taught by Cathleen Murakami.
Selena's playful, yet disciplined approach makes her a well loved instructor with her loyal client base.

"I've come to learn that working with a GREAT trainer really makes a difference!
When I came to the Synergy Systems Fitness Studio, I was blessed to have Selena as my trainer.
She has the rare ability to be patient and accepting of my present ability level,
yet constantly corrects me toward improvement without making me feel inadequate.
I highly recommend Selena - she's simply the best!"
"After having severe back and neck problems over the past year, I sought help.
Selena Kaye has been working with me privately for several months and it is amazing how I have significantly increased
my strength and flexibility. I am now able to play golf again without fear of injuring myself and have been pain-free
for several months. The only thing I’ve done differently is continue with my Pilates lessons several times a week.
Thanks, Selena!"
"After searching for professional and competent instructors but, who were also warm and genuinely interested
in their clients progress, I spoke with Cathleen and decided that SynergySystems® Fitness Studio has everything
I was looking for and have been very pleased with my decision. The aspect of my workout session that I enjoy most
is learning to focus my energy inward, not just physically but mentally. I have been a clinical social worker for over
15 years and I look at Pilates Workout sessions as “my therapy” time. I find so many benefits from doing Pilate’s,
not just looking better, but having time to connect mind and body which improves my overall well being."
