"Divinity is the elementary personality of a human being. When he can stand before corruption and win, that is an undivided personality. It is called divinity." - Yogi Bhajan

Luli Chandra, CYT/RYT, is a certified Hatha yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance. She is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and a supporter of NAMA. On January 22, 2004 she received her spiritual name, Ravi Kaur from the Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan.

Classes are taught in the classic Hatha Yoga method which is based on Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga as described in the Yoga Sutras. The focus is on strengthening the body and nervous system while stimulating the energetic bodies to align chakras and arouse Kundalini. Hatha Yoga prepares the body, mind and spirit for the deeper practice of meditation.

In addition to the usual class schedules, Luli offers private sessions for people of all ages with individualized and personal attention for maximum benefits. Based upon the Ayurvedic traditions each yoga class is tailored to the "dosha" or physical constitution of the person based upon the five basic elements. Luli educates and connects with students on the importance of proper posture and breathing techniques that are useful in their daily lives.

Pure Yoga Studio and Yoga Evolution have formed a collaborative relationship in order to provide students with expanded class venues and styles. Similar backgrounds and yoga practice goals make this association a natural progression as their combined talents and skills offer students access to different settings and nurturing environments with highly experienced yoga teachers.
