Sanapurna Ayurveda & Yoga, Zürich

Expérience fantastique: Because I feel always grateful after my yoga classes & time at Sanapurna

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Sanapurna for 11 years. Poonam is a very authentic, competent and funny yoga teacher. I look forward to every visit. Poonam (founder, owner and yoga teacher) has yoga teaching in her blood – authentically and since generations.

Expérience fantastique: I have taken a few classes here in the past and now I started again. Then and now, I really felt at ease as a newbie. Poonam, the teacher I know so far, is very experienced and shares her knowledge generously but without overwhelming her students. I can't wait to continue learning more about yoga in this welcoming and friendly environment.

Expérience fantastique: great lesson, well adjusted, good tipps, sympa teacher

Expérience fantastique: Excellent classes with Poonam. She conveys all aspects of Yoga and allows the students space for interpretation. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Authentic yoga. Deep knowledge and respect of the culture. Welcoming environment. Wisdom comes with humility and smiles. The teacher is able to address different wishes of the individuals in the class.

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna is a beautiful studio, my favourite! It’s the place which concerns not just about the physical condition but about the connection of the body and soul. The peaceful atmosphere in Sanapurna and the experienced teachers makes oneself ask about the reasons behind the practise and give the meaning to both - work hard and take time to digest experiences of what was done. Purva is the best teacher ♥️

Expérience négative: Positive: -clean and spacious rooms, cozy ambiente Negative: -front desk lady that was not interested in a "sanapurna newbie", insufficient welcoming skills -very expensive Schnupperlektion compared to other studios in Zurich -English ONLY yoga studio in and outside of class (we are in Switzerland) -class structure very impersonal, level only beginner friendly (eventhough the class's name was "Sweat and breathe"), instructor didnt adjust class to the participant's needs and yoga level

Expérience fantastique: 60 hour Yoga Nidra teachers training course I am doing at Sanapurna is very informative. Very well structured and interactive. Our Teacher Poonam makes it even more interesting by engaging all the students in team building activities related to the course content. The entire Team of Sanapurna is very warm and friendly. I get very positive vibes here . Enjoying the course and the atmosphere thoroughly.

Expérience fantastique: Grate place

Expérience fantastique: I have just finished a 300-hour teacher training course. Every single module was interesting, wonderfully explained and took me to another level. Sanapurna takes care of you in every sense: physically, spiritually and mentally. One of the best journeys of my life! I am super happy to have met Poonam and Thomas, two people who dedicate their lives to the well-being of every individual who enters the school. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!

Expérience fantastique: I took my first Yoga Lunch Time class and I had a great time, the environment was really relaxing, the people were smiling and had positive energy, I felt very comfortable, which is why I booked other classes.

Expérience fantastique: THE MOST AUTHENTIC PLACE TO PRACTISE YOGA IN ZURICH!!! Very competent teachers and you can breathe the main value brought in by the founder: a safe space to be, like home!

Expérience fantastique: I booked a massage with Ana Vilar and then an nutrition consultation and it was a very nice and helpful experience. The massage with warm oil is so beneficial, especially in the winter time. Ana also helped me find out solutions for my digestive issues and my general health. I'm now following her tips on a daily basis and feel much more grounded, I have more energy and managed to change my eating habits for the best!

Expérience fantastique: the best advice I ever got about yoga was to find a teacher that suits ones personality … this is what I found here

Expérience fantastique: Ein wunderbares Studio mit einer warmen, einladenden Energie. Ich habe bei Poonam das Yin-Yoga-Training gemacht und war begeistert! Die Atmosphäre war grossartig, wir haben unglaublich viel gelernt, und Poonam ist nicht nur absolut kompetent, sondern vermittelt Wissen auf eine witzige und total verständliche Art und Weise. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch bei Sanapurna.

Expérience fantastique: Because Sanapurna stays for values like: comunication, warmth, humour, profesionality, authenticity and i share the same views. Namaste!

Expérience fantastique: Warm environment, dedicated teachers & therapists, vibrant community, home away from home, highly recommend it.

Expérience fantastique: Teaching techniques, allow space to be myself and aligning the practices with the seasonal changes

Expérience fantastique: I love your Ashram

Expérience fantastique: Everybody makes you feel so welcome. Good vibes!

Expérience fantastique: I enjoyed the workshop and the atmosphere!

Expérience fantastique: I would like to say a few words about this studio that I found truly amazing. I attended the open day yesterday, which featured all kinds of classes and topics. I participated in a Detox & Longevity talk with Alexandra and a Yoga Nidra session with Poonam. Everything was exceptionally well done and genuine. An important point for me is that I don’t live in Zurich; I just took a day to visit the city and discovered the open day online. They graciously opened the doors of the studio for me as well, and I felt very grateful. I enjoyed not only the lessons but also had the opportunity to spend time with the community, chatting with others, drinking delicious tea, and eating Ayurvedic food. I live in Milan, but I am seriously considering taking some classes here. If you are in Zurich, you must try this wonderful place. Enjoy your practice and the community.

Expérience fantastique: Friendly, welcoming, expertise, what you learn has a value

Expérience fantastique: Best yoga studio in Switzerland!

Expérience fantastique: The teachers are great, the rooms are very cozy and the yoga mats are of good quality. Moreover, the school is very welcoming, having water and fresh tea for everyone in the community room. Every time I come here for a yoga lesson I realise again and again that this is indeed the best yoga school you can find in Zürich

Expérience fantastique: I found the class with Poonam very inspiring and suiting my level with some slight challenge, plus I felt the unseen connection with the other people, which made me feel as I am part of community

Expérience fantastique: Beautiful practice with Poonam, softening the body and focusing on inner balance. Best birthday present, thank you!

Expérience fantastique: Nice class, nice teacher, I felt less stressed after the lesson

Expérience fantastique: My colleague recommended this place and I am grateful she did. Even though I am a beginner, the classes are nicely structured that I never felt out of space. Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Sasha is great 7am to 8 am get there Mondays and Wednesdays for her lesson

Expérience fantastique: Hands down always a great experience - superb teachers with loads of knowledge and a terrific setting.

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna is one of the biggest studios I've been to in Zurich, featuring various yoga rooms and offering Ayurveda massages (among other services). I absolutely love attending yoga classes here and wanted to share my experience. Chris' classes have been incredible for practicing my headstand. His guidance is clear and encouraging, making it easier to build the confidence and strength needed for this pose. Poonam is fantastic with her caring and precise assists, which has helped me deepen my practice. Rajesh's class helps me bring more flexibility to my stiff back. His tips have made a huge difference in my herniated disc recovery. Lastly, did I mention that there's always tea and an apple to snack on, adding a lovely touch to the overall experience (on top of fresh flowers at the reception)!

Expérience fantastique: This place is my safe heaven. It is so much more than a yoga studio. It is a community of people who share same values. There are always laughs, conversations, tea, apples and everything to make you feel home. You get hooked once you start attending that place. I love the variety of classes and if anyone is interested in learning headstands and shoulder-stands proper way then Chris's classes is where you should go. It took me 10 years to try to master that posture and Chris fixed it in several weeks. Highly recommend also the ayurvedic massage that leaves you so relaxed, so zen and so peaceful. All in all absolutely great experience at any touchpoint with the studio. Anna

Expérience fantastique: Great studio and amazing teachers. Always an amazing time visit them.

Expérience fantastique: Favourite yoga studio in town - lead by the one and only Poonam

Expérience fantastique: I felt wholly well treated :) Thank you

Expérience fantastique: I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the wonderful experience I’ve had in your yoga classes. From the welcoming atmosphere to the dedicated attention of the instructors, each class has truly been enriching for me. The warmth and professionalism of the entire team make each visit special. I am inspired by the way each instructor guides the classes with such passion and knowledge. Additionally, the tranquil and serene spaces you have created truly help in finding inner peace. Thank you for creating this beautiful space where I can cultivate my yoga practice and work on my physical and mental well-being. I am excited to continue growing with you on this journey of self-discovery and balance. With gratitude and appreciation. Laura

Expérience fantastique: A wonderful environment created by wonderful people ! Anna provided great treatment. I walked in fatigued, hot and jet lag and left Sanapunrna balanced and relaxed with calm energy. Thank you. Sanapunrna is a jewel of Zurich

Expérience fantastique: Definitiv die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens, als ich beschloss dieses Yoga Studio zu besuchen und dort mein TTC und ATTC zu absolvieren!

Expérience fantastique: Great architecture, ammenities (free tea, lounge area), friendly staff and great teacher. Fully recommended!

Expérience fantastique: One of my favorite yoga studios in Zurich. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly vibes, and knowledgeable yoga teachers. They offer a variety of daily classes, and the central location is convenient.

Expérience fantastique: As a lifelong student of the Tao and a devotee of yoga for decades, I have found a true sanctuary in Sanapurna. The depth of knowledge imparted here is unparalleled. My mentors at Sanapurna, especially Poonam, have provided invaluable guidance, enriching my practice and understanding of yoga profoundly. The teacher training program at Sanapurna was a transformative experience, allowing me to expand and deepen my spiritual and physical journey in ways I hadn't imagined. Heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their wisdom and support. This studio is a gem for anyone looking to explore the depths of yoga.

Greetings, Tamara

Expérience fantastique: I love Sanapurna Yoga Studio. The teachers are very professional and eager to share their knowledge. The studio is cozy, spacious and elegant with always fresh flowers. There is a space to read/learn and to meet other students. I am really grateful for the peaceful and recharged feeling after every class, cos every teacher goes to lengths here. Thank you, Sanapurna, for being such an inspiring Team. <3

Expérience fantastique: wunderschönes und gut gelegenes Yoga Studio in Zürich. Die Hatha Yoga Nidra Class bei Adrian war super angenehm und entspannend.

Expérience fantastique: Great studio, calming and positive energy, high level of expertise

Expérience fantastique: I really like Yoga lessons with Rajesh! ;-) I highly recommended.

Expérience positive: Really good teachers, nice studio and atmosphere. I just didn‘t like the location at Langstrasse since all my relaxation is gone once I have to cycle home through Langstrasse.

Expérience fantastique: I chose that score because I liked the class, I am a Certified Yoga Instructor from the USA with 540 hours of teacher training & I have 7 yoga certificates & I wanted to take a class on vacation. It was nice to get new ideas & poses from the teacher, he is fantastic.

Expérience fantastique: My name is Madhuri Devi I came for Classical Marma treatment with Mr Kurup he did the treatment for scoliosis. Now I feel very well and my backbone is straifht.straight

Expérience fantastique: beautiful experience, enjoyed the ayurvedic massage fully, fully recommend

Expérience fantastique: I have truly enjoyed the ayurvedic massage with Ana Vilar at Sanapurna, now I have made it a regular monthly treatment for myself.

Expérience fantastique: The class was amazing. I was only in Zurich overnight (before flying home to Australia), and it was such a welcoming and supportive environment. I enjoyed the asanas, the speed and even got a few new tips to take home for my own practice. Thank you, Poonam!

Expérience fantastique: The studio is great, the classes are great, the teachers are great! Such an amazing oasis in the middle of the city! Thanks for offering peace and quite and playfulness!

Expérience fantastique: I attended the Yoga TTC (Teacher Training Course) in 2019. It was an amazing journey accompanied by professionals who guided and supported me throughout the process. It was six months filled with laughter, tears, and profound knowledge. It was a very powerful journey, whether one wants to teach Yoga or not. Located in the heart of Zurich, in a welcoming venue that provided every kind of comfort. I wholeheartedly thank Poonam and Tomas (the owners of the school) and the entire team of teachers and volunteers who guided me along the way.

Expérience fantastique: Gorgeous yoga studio with a large, diverse team of instructors. As soon as you step through the door it feels like home. They are very welcoming of all levels and have lots of different types of classes. It has become my favorite studio!

Expérience fantastique: An keinem anderen Ort der Welt hätte ich die Yogaausbildung sonst machen wollen! Dank Poonam und ihrem ganzen Team kommt man nicht nur in den Genuss von hochwertigem Yoga, sondern man fühlt sich von der ersten Minute an geborgen. Als würde man zu Hause ankommen. Dank dem abwechslungsreichen Stundenplan und allen hochprofessionellen YogalehrerInnen ist an 7 Tage die Woche -sogar mehrmals am Tag - für jede und jeden etwas dabei! Mit Thomas Stecher habe ich endlich einen Arzt gefunden, der mich in meiner chronischen Krankheit so begleitet, wie kein anderer Arzt in den letzten 20 Jahren. Die Thai-Yoga-Massagen von Nicoleta und alle Ayurveda-Massagen dem ganzen Team, vervollständigen die Reise zu dir selbst und kompletieren den ganzheitlichen Heilungsprozess. Alle, die die Militärstrasse 115 gefunden haben, können sich einfach nur glücklich schätzen!

Expérience fantastique: Ein wunderschönes Yoga Studio mit ganz tollen Lehrer. Ich fühlte mich sofort toll aufgehoben und bin ganz dankbar ❤️. Empfehlung vom Herzen ❤️

Expérience fantastique: The Sankalpa evening was an amazing experience, it helped me start the year focused, rooted and energized. Poonam's guidance is extraordinary, soothing and motivating.

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely recommend this studio. Great variety of classes. The unlimited 1-month online class is a really great deal for those pressed on time or who need to/prefer to practice at home. Poonam has an amazing aura, makes you feel welcome no matter what level.

Expérience fantastique: great Yoga lesson and superfriendly people!! I really enjoyed the delicous soup, fantastic idea..

Expérience fantastique: The Ayurveda place for ZRH. Thank you very much for all the services

Expérience fantastique: It was a pleasant day, a welcoming atmosphere, and an overall great experience! We chose to try a yoga and a meditation class, and to stay fur the final concert. We enjoyed everything: the classes, the environment, the familiar feeling we had even being for the first time there. It was like having known Poonam and Thomas since a while. Great job!!! See you soon! Ps. The Samosa and the tea were also delicious!

Expérience fantastique: Friendly atmosphere, clean and quiet. Beautiful squeaky wooden floors give character to this place. I wholeheartedly recommend Loreto Rojas classes.

Expérience fantastique: Nice and competent teachers, nice atmosphere. Great place!

Expérience fantastique: You are the best yoga teacher in Zurich, poonam!! I love your classes

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna is shaping my life to the good with modern discoveries based on the tradition of yoga.

Expérience fantastique: Thank you so much for your warmth and generosity in having me as a guest last Sunday, Poonam! — After years abroad I finally had the chance to return to Sanapurna for practise. I was deeply moved by the heartfelt welcome and the sincere practise. I also enjoyed the clear and accessible instructions and the good humour with which the practise was held. The whole studio, the available support materials and mats are beautifully put together and looked after, adding to a wholesome experience. I can sincerely and highly recommend a visit, or even better an ongoing practise at Sanapurna! I’ll definitely be back on my next visit to Zurich. See you soon!

Expérience fantastique: The teacher were qualified to this class and he made with all his explanation and good knowledge of the the body movements. I got energised and relaxed after the class. Thank you for the experience. I really enjoyed the great class.

Expérience fantastique: The place is warm and it has a community type of vibe. Teachers are skilled. Poonam's teaching style and guidance are wholeheartedly and profound. Wonderful yoga place and people. Best in town for sure.

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna is my favorite Yoga studio. I feel welcome there, I trust the teacher's knowledge, I feel empowered and seen and I progress in my practice. Doing the Teacher Training there was an excellent choice and coming back to volunteer and participate in classes was very valuable to me to learn about myself, to strengthen my body and to ease into my mind. Poonam's one of the most energetic and uplifting people I know and I am beyond grateful to call her my teacher and friend. If you're looking for a great urban yoga studio with funny, modern teachers who are grounded in yogic tradition and history and experts in their field, go visit Sanapurna.

Expérience fantastique: I feel so much gratitude for the Sanapurna Team and the high level of education of all the teachers. I just completed the 200H TTC at Sanapurna and I could not recommend it enough. The course has been designed carefully and with intention, so that by the time your journey is complete, you will have the necessary tools (and more) to teach with intention, professionalism, high quality and confidence. The Sanapurna Studio has everything you need to make your stay feels like you are at home(there is Ayurvedic tea waiting for you in the cozy common area, you will find seasonal fresh apples, people's smiles and kindness, super cleaned toilets, beautiful showers and soap, all the yoga prompts you can think of and more things I probably forgot to mention). After visiting many yoga studios in Zürich, I am so happy to have found the one hidden gem for those who want to experience "real" yoga. So if you want your journey with yoga to start, if you are an experienced yogi, if you want to deepen your knowledge in yoga, if you want to try your first class, if you had a bad day, if you had a good day, if you don't know what you want but maybe you would enjoy yoga...go to Sanapurna :)

Expérience fantastique: Seid über 10 Jahren nehme ich am Sanapurna Leben teil. Früher mit viel Yoga, später habe ich mit Ayurveda Therapien begonnen. Dieses Studio habe ich von Anfang an bewundert, da die Yogis wie auch die Therapeuten nur aufs wohl der Gäste aus sind Immer guter Dinge und offen für ein Gespräch. Man wird herzlich begrüßt und auf dem Schragen im Anwendungsraum fühlt es sich an wie im Paradies Manchmal sind die Anwendungen etwas Schmerzhaft aber nachher geht es einem fühlbar besser Auch die Gespräche mit Thomas Stecher über Ernährung schliesst den Kreis, welcher hilft das Leben einfacher und gesünder zu gestalten Poonam hat immer ein offenes Ohr und die Volontärs sind alle sehr hilfsbereit es ist ein Ort den man gerne besucht ein feiner Tee und ein Apfel schliesst das ganze ab Thanks a lot

Expérience fantastique: My experience at Sanapurna was without doubt, exceptional. The warm welcome as well as the professional service by the team is what made me feel comfortably at home. Sanapurna is not just a yoga studio but a sanctuary to me. Through my 200hrs YTTC at Sanapurna, I was supported and got learned more from the trainers. I loved how the course contents were arranged and presented by various topic experts (from yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama etc.). I Recommend Sanapurna to anyone looking to take up YTTC in Zürich. It is a wonderful space to learn about yoga. The experienced teachers, as well as the studio owner are surely sharing the practice of yoga with compassion and authenticity - this I experienced and recommend to a variety of yoga classes offered.

Expérience fantastique: More than a yoga studio. Poonam runs Sanapurna like a community for all, whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years. Each and every teacher I have come across in this studio has been excellent, all with their own style yet always providing room for physical and spiritual growth. The workshops show a deep knowledge of yoga and Ayurveda, and a heartfelt desire to initiate others. I never expected to find a gem like this in Zurich and I am immensely grateful for its existence. The facilities are beautifully kept and sparkling clean, and everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sanapurna to anyone and everyone.

Expérience fantastique: I completed the 300-Hour Advanced training at Sanapurna. It was exactly what I needed to feel like an experienced yoga teacher. The course was well structured and flexible through 4 modules, which allowed me to complete the certification over 2 years - although it can also be completed in 1 year with ease. Through the pandemic, the team effortlessly switched between online and in person lectures. The instructors are professionals and experts in their topics and they come from around the world, giving various perspectives. Another thing I loved about this course was the community of fellow yogis I was able to become a part of. If you have always wanted to go deeper after your 200-hour TTC/YTT, I would highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I have done a 90 minutes class today and we were all wearing a mask during the practice. The teacher adapted the intensity level accordingly and it was powerful but still comfortable and safe. I can highly recommend it!

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna ist ein Ort des Wohlgefühls. Seit dem ersten Betreten bis heute fühle ich mich wie zu Hause. Egal ob Anfänger oder Fortgeschritten, jede Person findet den Platz in der Gemeinschaft, aber vor allem auch für sich selbst. Es ist ein Ort um Yoga zu praktizieren, auf verschiedenen Ebenen und nachdem ich jeweils mit mehr als körperlichem Wohlbefinden, Gelassenheit und einem durchgelüfteten Kopf rausgehe... Poonam, Thomas und das ganze Sanapurna-Team entwickeln im Studio eine einzigartige Atmosphäre, von der ich mich bereichert fühle und froh bin, ein Teil davon zu sein. Vielen Dank ihr Lieben !

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna is an amazing place. Loving guidance and wonderful and competent teachers. The studio is beautiful and you feel at home and welcome all the time. Love it

Expérience fantastique: Sanapurna Yoga is where I found yoga practice at it‘s best. Depending on what you’re looking for - of course, here you will find one of the most wholistic and authentic yoga, I‘ve experienced before.

Expérience fantastique: I have been practicing at Sanapurna since 2012, and since then I've known Poonam. This is an excellent place for practicing classic, no-nonsense yoga. I've practiced at several other studios too, but Poonam is my absolute favourite teacher. She manages to teach in a way, that I feel I get private lessons. Poonam teaches in a wonderful mix of English and Swiss-German and throws the occasional French expression in there too. I like this place very much and feel better each time I go.

Expérience fantastique: An oasis in Zurich where you can unwind, recharge and find your true self.

Expérience fantastique: This is my recommended place for Ayurvedic treatments (Abhyanga, Shirodhara) in Zurich as it is always very professional and I completely trust the therapists. I had a massage with Ana which was very relaxing and I felt in the hands of a knowledgable professional. I enjoyed the short consultation beforehand, the massage and the amenities afterwards (warm shower, hair dryer, tea (if we are not in a pandemic)). They use organic products from the medicated oils used for the massages to the soap in the showers. I always feel welcome and well looked after.

Expérience positive: I visited Ayurveda massage here. Massage was wonderful, deeply relaxing treatment. But unfortunately there is no conditions for lounging after. I had to be in yoga studio lounge with dry hair in oil, it was really embarrassing and uncomfortable. Also there was no shampoo or body gel for rinsing off all this oil, which goes with the procedure.
