Chris Somers

Owner

VINYASA YOGA CERTIFIED: RYT-200, AERIAL LEVEL I & II CERTIFIED

Chris Somers has worked in the fitness and wellness industry for the past 28 years. She has worked as the General Manager and Director of Marketing for several privately owned facilities. She has also owned and operated her own Marketing firm. It was her dream to be able to open her own studio and offer the community the services and programs that she is passionate about.

In 2001 she was drawn to yoga for the physical benefits. She quickly realized that the more frequently she made it to her mat, the better prepared her mind and body became at responding to the challenges of daily life. Yoga has taught her about what balance means on and off the mat. Her hope is to help others discover or re-discover these wonderful benefits. Helping everyone feel a bit more connected, empowered, and energized. The offerings at Purenergy are designed to engage and reward each person, young or old, beginner or advanced.
