Program

Sanskriti is a center dedicated to the traditional practice of yoga. Everything has been thought out down to the smallest detail to allow total immersion in your practice.

It’s important to note that this program is not a retreat, which means simply that participants arrive on different days and can choose from the selection of daily classes offered at Sanskriti. It’s an opportunity to have more freedom and time than a regular retreat.

The 4-day Yoga Vacation Program can be modified according to your wishes. Sanskriti offers between 1 to 3 yoga sessions per day in French and English. It's up to you to decide which sessions you want to attend.

You will also have time, if you wish, to practice alone, in the way you wish, in their magnificent rooms and even outside.

Their café is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 4 pm and in the evening from 07:00 to 22:00 and Saturday for brunch from 11:00 to 16:00 and from 19:00 to 11:00.

Outdoor spaces are available at all times, such as the Zen garden, access to the river, the outdoor practice room and the forest. You are free to go for a walk in the forest and mountains, to leave for the day to discover the region.

Sanskriti also offers a variety of massage options, such as Ayurvedic hot oil massage, reflexology, and many others (not included).

Retreat location

Located in Scionzier, in the heart of the French Alps, it's 40 minutes from Geneva and easy accessible by flight or train. Sanskriti is a beautiful property that has recently been lovingly restored. The retreat center is located at the end of a quiet street and overlooks a beautiful forest and a beautiful river on one side and the majestic Alps on the other.

It is a perfect place for a retreat center where you can meditate with the sound of the river, enjoy the Zen garden, or take long walks in the forest. During your free time, relax at the on-site cafe or stroll around the sleepy little town of Scionzier and try the local bakery full of sweet treats.

  • Lunch will be served either by 12:30 or at 13:30 on the days when there is a lunch yoga class. Dinners will be served after the evening yoga class, so typically between 08:00 and 08:45
  • Breakfast on the last day
  • If you plan to arrive on a Monday, know that the café is closed on Mondays so dinner will not be served. However, you are welcome to use the shared kitchen to cook, or warm up your food

An unforgettable cuisine

In Sanskriti, all food is prepared with care and reflects the love for delicious meals and at the same time nourishing food in the deepest sense. In their kitchen, each food has its unique value and variety of taste, appearance and nutrition; your body will thank you!

Restaurant and cafe: The Hungry Yogi

All-day cafe, juice bar, and tea room. Come and have lunch in the bright dining room, or on the terrace at the edge of the forest on sunny days. Otherwise, come hungry any time of the day and you'll be fed! Come anytime and enjoy their delicious vegetarian cuisine based on fresh and organic food, homemade juices and smoothies, vegan desserts (with or without gluten), a wide variety of teas and coffees and healthy dishes all day.

At lunchtime or dinner time, in addition to the menu, the kitchen offers a daily menu that changes every day. The food is made from fresh, organic, and locally sourced produce whenever possible. The dishes, both healthy and gourmet, are a tribute to Indian cuisine, which they freely draw inspiration from.

A warm atmosphere: Relax barefoot and enjoy the flavors and aromas of the delicious cuisine, swap stories with each other or peacefully admire the scenery. Depending on your personal preference, you are free to lounge on a sofa or sit on a cushion on the floor.

Tea time: Choose from the many world teas and coffees they have to offer as well as light snacks that are served throughout the day. Take a book or the time to dream cradled by the river, or work in peace, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Special menu

Vegan and gluten-free options are available upon request. Sanskriti understands the negative environmental impact of animal eating and also believes that the dairy industry is a very cruel industry where mother and child both suffer for humans. To add to this, regularly consuming dairy products is bad for your health. Although they are not strictly vegan themselves, they use dairy and other animal products sparingly and most of their dishes are vegan.
