Our History
Welcome to Purusha Yoga & Pilates Studio, a women-owned sanctuary in the Outer Richmond district of San Francisco. Founded in 2010, Purusha has a rich history rooted in over 25 years of experience in practicing, teaching, and mentoring, primarily under the guidance of Joy Ravelli. The studio has long served as a nurturing space for our diverse community. In November 2024, Joy passed the torch to co-owners Jen Betti and Kopal Maheshwari, who are dedicated to empowering individuals through movement, cultivating meaningful connections, and igniting their journeys toward holistic wellness. With their wealth of experience and heartfelt commitment, Jen and Kopal strive to uphold the studio’s values of creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued, celebrating diversity across all ages and abilities to ensure that each individual can practice authentically.
