All the food that we carefully and lovingly prepare reflects our desire to provide you with the best ingredients for a well-balanced and nourished life. In our café, as in our philosophy of yoga, we hope that each part of you will be re-energized with every dish!
Each food has its unique value and variety in taste, appearance, and nutrition; your bodies will soon show you their gratitude!
The food is made from fresh produce, organic, and sourced locally as much as possible. The dishes, both healthy and delicious, are a tribute to the Indian cuisine from which they are inspired.
A welcoming ambiance
Relax barefoot and enjoy the flavors and aromas of the delicious food, exchange stories with one another, or peacefully admire the scenery. Depending on personal preference, you are free to lounge on a couch or sit on a cushion on the floor.
Care of vegans & Other Intolerances
Vegan options are also available; gluten-free options are on request. Sanskriti understands the adverse environmental impact of animal farming, and they also believe that the dairy industry is a very cruel industry where the mother and child both suffer for humans.
To add on to it, consuming dairy on a regular basis is bad for health. Although not strictly vegans themselves, they use dairy and other animal products sparingly, and most of their dishes are vegan.

Prachi
Instructor
Prachi & Benoit met in an ashram in India, each looking to give more meaning to their life. This encounter and that of yoga have profoundly changed their lives and opened new paths for the future. Previously, Prachi, with a degree in Design, worked in the world of visual merchandising. After 6 years in the corporate world, and following an introduction to yoga organized at work, new horizons opened up to her.
Benoît worked in the catering industry in Chamonix and then in the field of renewable energy, after which he left for London to resume his studies. During this time he learnt yoga. Totally taken with this, he flew to India to do a three-month course and explore yoga further. And that’s when Benoît met Prachi.
The 3-month plan turned into a 2-year one, allowing them both to develop their joint project Sanskriti and lead it to fruition.
This encounter and that of yoga have profoundly changed their lives and opened new paths for the future
