Venay Puri is a former rower at Cornell who has been in and around fitness throughout his life. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, at 24, Venay opened and operated Ozone, a fitness facility in downtown Orlando. After building the membership base to over 2,000 with a strong support staff, Venay went on to purse a JD/MBA and consult in Regulatory Compliance at investment banks Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.
In the Fall of 2017, Venay enrolled at Yoga Teacher Training (YTT-200) at Lifetime at Lifetime Reston. Due to an unexpected diagnosis of thyroid cancer, Venay withdrew from the course for surgery and treatment. In the Fall 2018, Venay re-enrolled in YTT200, however, an unexpected diagnosis of autism of Venay’s child resulted in a second withdrawal to focus on support. In the Fall 2019, Venay completed YT200 and completed Vipassana, a 10-day 100 hour meditation instruction, in Denver, CO.
Today, Venay teaches adaptive yoga classes for child and young adults with special needs, yoga clinics and meditation at ACAC Germantown as well as in and around the greater Washington metropolitan area.
