Veenu (she/her) actively avoided yoga as a teen, because her Mom often pushed her to try it. Once she grew up, she decided to finally give it a go in 2012, when she learned about the Intro Month at Modo Yoga East Vancouver. As soon as that month ended, she signed on to volunteer in the Energy Exchange program because she was hooked! Veenu loves the community and the reflective vibe of her home studio so much, she ended up becoming the Assistant Manager at the location from 2016-2020. She completed her Modo training in 2020, but then due to you-know-what, took time away from the studio while she pursued other career opportunities. She has now re-joined the studio as of January 2026 and revels in how MYEV feels like home. Veenu currently teaches in the Acting Department at Vancouver FIlm School, plus was once a personal trainer and a group fitness instructor. Empowering students with knowledge is her favourite thing about being an instructor. When she’s not at the studio, she loves to cook, exercise and watch copious amounts of television.
