Tenae was born and raised in good ol' Phoenix, AZ where she grew up playing a plethora of sports and committing to years of classical ballet and swim training. Tenae moved to San Francisco in 2009 after being 1 out of 20 accepted into the prestigious Alonzo King LINES Professional Ballet program. Her passion and love for movement flourished as she studied under various master ballet and Gyrotonic instructors for the two intensive years. Sadly, during her last semester in the program, she developed a chronic back injury that left her with no other option than to hang up her pointe shoes. She decided to attend the University of San Francisco and graduated with a Bachelors in Science in Kinesiology in 2015. During her scholastic endeavors, Tenae began teaching Hatha and Vinyasa yoga classes at the local university gym on top of instructing TRX classes at the TRX Training Center/Headquarters. She is certified in all TRX Education courses, developed the TRX Free Move class for Crunch Fitness and coaches strength and conditioning sessions for the USF Boxing Club. She aspires to help every individual reach their potential in a safe and efficient manner while finding pure joy behind moving and taking care of oneself. She enjoys creating a fun loving atmosphere for any and all fitness levels in classes!
