Vanessa Henderson
Vanessa began practicing yoga in 2013 and she instantly fell in love with not only the practice itself, but the Modo community and its values through the six pillars. Modo Barrie in Vanessa’s home town quickly became her home away from home! She explains that Modo was her saving grace as it has changed her life in such positive way, and has helped her to become the best possible version of herself.
Vanessa explains that “yoga allows me to be grounded and present in the moment and welcome love and happiness into my life on and off my mat.” After becoming a part of the Energy Exchange program at Modo Yoga Barrie, Vanessa knew she was destined to become a teacher, to share her love and passion of yoga with others. In July 2014, Vanessa completed her Modo Level 1 500HR Teacher Training in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia. She then went on to complete Modo Flow Training in Thornhill, Ontario in August 2015. Vanessa is thrilled to be sharing her love of yoga with over five different Modo Yoga studio communities! She also offers Barre classes, outdoor Yoga classes, Stand-Up Paddle Board Yoga, Yoga Retreats, group and private classes. When Vanessa isn't teaching you can find her on the Front Desk managing the studio operations, client relationships and social media.
She feels so blessed to be able to share her passion for yoga and inspire others just as her teachers and students continually inspire her. Vanessa absolutely loves to travel and spend time outdoors with family and friends. She is fascinated with exploring new cultures and the profound beauty and serenity nature has to offer.
