Shakti Dance in Los Feliz
By Melissa Chua
Simona Evoli (also known as Dharma Kaur) has traveled the world immersing herself in different cultures and sharing the practice of Yoga. Simona has a background in dance, theater, and painting, and with devotion, expresses her creativity. She has brought this spirit to Los Feliz where she has opened Simona Yoga, with the intention that it is a place where people can express their souls and be free, creative, and spontaneous.
The studio houses three rooms, each painted with a color to activate different aspects of consciousness. The green main room instills growth and transformation while creating peace and inner balance during yoga. The blue room inspires creativity and unlocks energy flow. The purple mediation room symbolizes knowledge, intelligence, and devotion.
Simona Yoga specializes in Shakti Dance®, a sacred form deeply rooted in the science of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Shakti Dance® implements insights drawn from Yogic philosophy to awaken and embody universal principles of harmonious movement. By incorporating dance styles, Shakti Dance® focuses breath, motion, and mindfulness to expand consciousness. Additionally, the studio offers Kundalini, Hatha, and meditation.
“I want to manifest my creativity clearly and share as much as possible with people who want to feed themselves with the energy of love, respect and compassion,” Simona says.
