Your Yoga & Wellness Day

A day designed as a true mini-retreat, combining movement, breathwork, cold and heat exposure, relaxation, vegetarian cuisine, and meditation.

Each experience gently guides you towards greater presence, calm, and vitality.

9:30 – 11:00 AM — Fascia, Mobility & Conscious Breathwork

Begin the day with a gentle yet deep practice designed to release tension, improve mobility, and awaken the body.

We will then explore different conscious breathing techniques, including practices inspired by the Wim Hof Method, preparing the body and mind for the cold-water experience.

11:00 – 11:30 AM — Guided Cold-Water Immersion

For those who wish to participate, experience a guided cold-water immersion in an exceptional natural setting.

A powerful opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, cultivate presence, and discover the unique sensations of intentional cold exposure.

Cold-water immersion is entirely optional, and everyone is encouraged to respect their own limits.

11:30 AM – 1:00 PM — Delicious Vegetarian Brunch

After the morning practices, gather around a generous homemade vegetarian brunch, lovingly prepared in our kitchen.

A time to nourish yourself, connect with others, and enjoy the surroundings before the afternoon practice.

2:00 – 3:30 PM — Hatha Yoga

A complete traditional Hatha Yoga practice, accessible to all levels.

Through postures, breath, and body awareness, the practice helps you build strength, increase flexibility, and find a deeper sense of calm and inner balance.

3:30 – 6:00 PM — Afternoon Tea, Treats & Wood-Fired Sauna

After yoga, enjoy a long moment of relaxation and connection over tea and homemade treats.

During the afternoon, experience our Finnish wood-fired sauna, nestled in the forest beside the river.

Depending on the number of participants, we may divide into smaller groups so everyone can fully enjoy the sauna while taking time to relax, connect, or simply appreciate the peaceful surroundings.

Those who wish can alternate the warmth of the sauna with a refreshing cold-water immersion, surrounded by nature.

6:00 – 7:30 PM — Kirtan & Meditation

Complete the day’s practices in a warm and peaceful atmosphere with Kirtan, mantra chanting, and meditation.

A special moment to slow down, integrate the experiences of the day, and return to inner stillness, supported by the energy of the group.

7:30 PM — Vegetarian Dinner

Complete your retreat day around a delicious homemade vegetarian dinner, lovingly prepared in our kitchen.

A final moment of connection and conviviality to bring the day to a gentle close around the table.

Ready to pause and reconnect with what truly matters? Treat yourself to a full day of well-being in the heart of the French Alps, combining meaningful practices, nature, relaxation, and moments of connection.

What Our Clients Say

Difficile de partir de Sanskriti tellement ce lieu est réellement agréable (le mot est faible) et ressourçant. Cela tient tout autant au cadre naturel magnifique qu’aux hôtes très accueillants du centre : Benoît, Prachi et leurs enfants.

Nadège H.

Un grand merci à Benoit et sa petite famille pour l’accueil. Toujours disponible et à l’écoute. Les repas sont sains et délicieux. Les cours de yoga au top et adaptés à tous les niveaux ! Le lieu est juste magique ! Merci merci d’avoir partagé votre havre de paix avec nous. Hâte d’y retourner ❤️

Mariame D.

4 jours de retraite très bénéfiques pour la santé mentale et le corps. Un accueil et un groupe de yoggi très agréable. Et pour couronner le tout, l’endroit est parfait pour vivre l’instant présent et respirer ! Merci à vous 🙂

Solenn B.

Le lieu est magnifique : la rénovation du lieu est très réussie, c’est confortable, chaleureux sans être trop chargé niveau déco. Le jardin est superbe, au milieu des sapins et avec le bruit de la rivière en permanence. Quant au yoga, il est difficile de trouver des cours de hatha d’aussi bonne qualité

Audrey H.

A truly enriching stay in a warm family-owned yoga center with lots of passion and good energy. Sanskriti is a special place that brought calm and joy during my stay. I especially enjoyed the beautiful zen garden, bathing in the cold river and eating delicious Indian food.

Tom L.

L’endroit est simplement magnifique et à mon goût parfait. La nourriture était exquise et faite maison. Il y a de quoi bouquiner sur place et j’ai fais des rencontres inoubliables. Benoît est très flexible et attentionné, il ne s’agit pas uniquement d’un professeur mais d’un vrai hôte et guide spirituel.
