Kendra Vanesko
Kendra is a 200-hour Certified Yoga Instructor who has been teaching since 2019. She first discovered yoga about seven years ago, drawn initially to its physical benefits. Over time, she realized it also offered powerful support for anxiety, mindfulness, and learning to slow down.
As a teacher, Kendra aims to help her students strengthen their bodies, renew their minds, and nourish their souls. Her vinyasa-style classes begin with a gentle flow, build into a challenging sequence, and end with deep relaxation. She always offers modifications and clear cues, making her classes accessible—especially for beginners starting their yoga journey.
Outside of the studio, Kendra is energetic and outgoing. She loves traveling, spending time in nature, and connecting with friends and family. She also works as a sales and marketing representative, and yoga provides the perfect balance in her busy, vibrant life
