Sanapurna Yoga and Therapie (Zürich)

Overview

Yoga and Therapy Progressive but traditional We respect all aspects of life We offer expertise We believe in community

Sanapurna means complete health (Sana - health; Purna - complete). This blend of Sanskrit and Latin, East and West, reflects the journey of the owners Poonam and Thomas Stecher Sharma.

Poonam grew up in a small town outside New Delhi in a family of yoga experts and practitioners. Her desire to teach and deepen her knowledge led her to pursue postgraduate studies in yoga studies with Bihar Yoga Bharati. Thomas was born and raised in the mountains of Switzerland, where his family worked in the hotel industry. After quitting his corporate job, Thomas had a deep desire to return to serving his community as his family had done. He began studying Ayurveda at the Bihar School of Yoga, where he met Poonam. Their shared passion for building community and providing holistic solutions to modern physical and mental ailments brought them together in their dream to open Sanapurna.

Over the past 15 years, our studio has been a haven for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, relax and rejuvenate. We focus on where you want to go, not where you are from. Where you come from cannot be changed, but it can always inspire and facilitate you to get where you want to go. We provide the space for you to grow through your practice, explore possibilities and realize dreams.

Our large team of yoga instructors and professional therapists work together to offer varied, high-quality classes and practices to reach everyone where they are, based on their needs. We believe that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a better approach than fixing what is already broken. Yoga, Ayurveda and all preventative practices are important to promote a healthy society where people take care of themselves and each other - physically, mentally and emotionally.
