*** A comprehensive directory of yoga studios in Zurich *** LAST UPDATED END OF 2021 ***
First off: I am a Kundalini skeptic. I've tried this yoga style a few times throughout the years and it's always just stirred up a lot of aggression in me. The repetitive, monotonous, basic movements and the all-in-white sect vibe still put me off, but I would lie if I said I didn't feel better …
Does your phone also show you throwback pictures from time to time? Like memories from a different age and time, when many things seemed so natural and uninhibited? I got a lot of throwback shots from my yoga adventures around the world, and a lot of reminders of hot yoga classes, from an era when …
When yoga studios finally reopened in Zurich in the spring, I knew where I had to go first: HOME. And my yogic home is the place that made me into a teacher and helped me understand that I'd always be a student of yoga: Sanapurna. On 20 June I was there for a special event: …
When the lockdown started, the world suddenly divided into two groups: the "can"s and the "cannot"s: the people who can work from home and those who cannot.

Sometimes yogis just want to have lunch and a nice catch-up (about yoga :)) – so that's what Deddou and me did one beautiful December day. I had met the founder of POP UP YOGA before, in or after class, but now I really wanted to sit down and talk about her yoga concept, 2020 plans and …

What are you gifting your loved ones for the holidays? For many of us, the instinct is to turn to tangible presents, or maybe vouchers for experiences. But what about the gift of touch? It can even be a long tight hug, or a heartfelt back rub. At any rate, it seems to me like …
