Ameera Venkataraman

Ameera comes to us from Columbus, Ohio when she moved to Pittsburgh in 2021. She quickly found home in the yoga community when she found the Om Lounge & Wellness studio, but she is no stranger to the practice. She attended her first yoga class in 2018 at a friend’s Bachelorette party. During that class she was moved by the teachers’ ability to hold space, her kindness and the class’s meditative qualities. Leaving that weekend feeling inspired, she purchased a mat and membership and her yoga journey began. 

Yoga has always been a constant for Ameera as she navigated life and her passion for it grew.  With a desire to hold space for others and to deepen her practice she completed The Om Lounge & Wellness RYT 200 teacher training program. Ameera’s approach to yoga focuses on creative flows with a dose of yoga philosophy. Expect to fully arrive on your mat and be greeted with opportunities to learn more about yourself and your body.  Most importantly, expect to have fun! She doesn’t take herself too seriously and she won’t expect you to either.   

Outside of The Om Lounge, Ameera works in procurement as a Category Manager. When she is not practicing, you can find her exploring local coffee shops, planning her next vacation, or cuddling her cats: Clay & Ellis.
