Empowering Self, Uniting Community

WELCOME TO

PURUSHA YOGA

Purusha Yoga is a community focused, heart centered teaching studio located in San Francisco’s Outer Richmond District. We offer a full schedule of daily classes led by a diverse group of experienced, inspired teachers who are not only interested in your safety and fitness, but in your holistic wellbeing. We use the classic 8 limb practices and philosophies of Hatha and Raja Yoga to open the mind, balance energy, move, inspire, and spark the imagination. By providing a variety of personalized services, movement, dance and fitness classes, we take the student beyond yoga and into holistic wellness and health. We are passionate about being of service to our community and offer free / donation-based yoga classes to low income, at risk and under served populations through our non-profit organization, the Purusha Seva Project.

........
In the wake of the recent horrific synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh and yoga studio shooting in Florida, many of us felt the need to do something, anything, as we so often do with the all-too familiar tragedies of this kind. From so far away, offering our thoughts and prayers, no matter how sincere, somehow just doesn't feel like enough. We all know the power of coming to our mats during these trying times, but this time it just feels like we need and can do more.
..........
If you've ever made or enjoyed art, you know the healing power it can have. Pair that with the therapeutic aspect of sharing with community, and the transformation of difficult emotions can begin to occur, much the way it can in our yoga practice.
..........
For this, I feel called to offer more opportunities for making and sharing artwork with our Purusha community. Please consider joining me today and helping us to transmute hate and anger into beauty and peace within our community and beyond.
..........
In peace,
Joy
