The Sanapurna Story: Where East Meets West

Sanapurna was born from the intersection of two worlds. Created by Poonam Stecher Sharma and Thomas, we set out to create the sanctuary that Zurich was missing: a professional space that balances the high-performance demands of our city with the timeless, restorative wisdom of the East.

Poonam, whose expertise has guided global icons and students worldwide, and Thomas, who brings a grounded spirit rooted in hospitality and adventure, built Sanapurna not just as a studio, but as a home for those who value both growth and authenticity.

“Move as if the whole universe moves with you.”
— Poonam Stecher Sharma, Co-Founder
