Experience Pür Joy
At Pür Joy Yoga, the intention is simple. Here we remind you that joy is innate and unconditional. Pür Joy is inexhaustible and within you at all times. We work together to discover a path of ease through various movement practices and breathwork to uncover the deep rooted tensions that may manifest as pain, discomfort or illness in your body. In our one-on-one heartful and therapeutic sessions, we aim to heighten sensory awareness and with time, release physical tension and discomfort in the body through working with muscle and fascia, locating pain, trigger points and energy which may be stuck in your joints, tissues and organs. This is the core of somatics. Understanding that modern day burnout and chronic fatigue deplete our life force, we center the importance of deep rest and working with emotional authenticity. At Pür Joy your physical, mental and spiritual wellness matter. We are a queer-owned business based in the heart of Los Feliz in sunny Los Angeles.
And, all are welcome here.

What inspires the creator of Pür Joy?
Armen Menechyan is an 800+ hour certified yoga therapy practitioner specializing in yoga therapy, somatic practices, and meditation. His work is further informed by advanced training in SATYA (Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) through Prajna Yoga, a somatic movement methodology centered on sensory awareness, subtlety, and nervous system regulation.
Deeply engaged in the therapeutic potential of yoga, Armen brings a refined and integrative approach grounded in anatomy, energetics, the subtle body, and an ongoing study of the human mind. His work emphasizes presence and the cultivation of a more attuned relationship to the body.
Originally from Los Angeles, Armen spends much of his time immersed in nature and is continually inspired by human connection and the shared thread that runs through us all. Learning, writing, activism, music, movement, love, and contemplative traditions all inform his perspective, along with his puppy, Coconut, and a deep belief in our collective capacity for goodness.
His practice is inherently multifaceted. The creation of this space, born in the wake of the pandemic, reflects a genuine desire to foster both individual and collective care. As a dedicated student and explorer, Armen values the organic process of inquiry, reflection, and lived experience.
Through thoughtful scaffolding of dharma and asana for practitioners of all levels, his sessions invite exploration beyond rigid structures. With an emphasis on presence, play, dialogue, and self-inquiry, he creates an environment that supports autonomy—encouraging each individual to move, feel, and discover in a way that is authentic to their own experience.
