Our approach
Yoga as a practice,
not a workout
Yoga is a way of life that holds body, breath and philosophy together. We stay close to the tradition it came from — the postures matter, and so does the thinking behind them.
Our studio sits ten minutes' walk from Vevey station, with the lake and the mountains in view. Weekly classes cover Hatha, Vinyasa, Hatha Flow and Yin. Around them we run workshops, Indian yoga brunches and cooking classes, so the practice extends past the mat and into a table shared with other people.
For anyone who wants to go further, we host retreats in Switzerland and in India, and 50-hour and 100-hour Hatha Yoga trainings.
Why people stay
Seven reasons students
keep coming back
Small groups, honest prices,
and teachers who still study.
Nine styles, one membership
Hatha, Vinyasa, Hatha Flow, Yin, Yogalates, Hip Mobility, Power Yoga, Ashtanga foundations and sound baths. Switch whenever you like.
Honest pricing
Memberships bring a class down to ten francs, without cutting group sizes or teaching quality.
10CHF / class
A room worth arriving early for
Minutes from Vevey's centre, with Léman Lake and the Alps through the windows. Wooden panels, warm light, no mirrors.
Something new every month
Yoga brunches, women's circles, immersion days, cultural evenings and Indian celebrations. Several of them are free.
Teachers who still study
Both teachers train in India regularly and are enrolled in academic yoga studies. What they learn lands in the next class.
Yoga is the reason people come. The room is why they stay.
Whatever your age, background or experience, this is a place to practise, talk, eat together and be recognised when you walk back in.

Who teaches
Two teachers,
one shared vision
Founded by Viresh and Ivan —
India and Switzerland, in the same room.
Viresh Hatha · Therapeutic · Ayurveda
Born and raised in Karnataka, Viresh carries a direct line to the culture yoga grew out of. He is working towards a Master's degree and a PhD in yoga, and his classes hold traditional teaching next to a modern reading of movement — strength, mobility, awareness, balance.

Ivan Yin · Ashtanga · Philosophy
Alongside teaching, Ivan reads South Asian Studies at the University of Lausanne, specialising in Sanskrit, Indian history and Hinduism. That work lets him treat yoga as history and philosophy as much as posture. He is also the one who answers questions about the studio before your first visit.
- Yin Yoga
- Ashtanga Yoga
- Sound healing
- Advanced yogic studies
- Sanskrit
Before you come
Questions we get
before a first class
Anything still unclear? Write to Ivan on WhatsApp — he answers most messages the same day.
- Do I need experience or flexibility to start?
- No. Classes are open to complete beginners, and every session is adapted to the people in the room. Flexibility is a result of practice, not a condition for starting. Groups stay small to medium so teachers can adjust postures individually.
- How much does a class cost?
- With a membership, a class comes down to 10 CHF — among the lowest on the Vaud Riviera. Drop-in rates and passes are on the pricing page.
- Where exactly is the studio?
- Sentier des Rurettes 8, Vevey — a 10 minute walk from the station. Search “Yogic Spirits” on Google Maps rather than typing the street number: the address alone can send you to a house uphill, while the studio is downhill. Look for the large house with vertical wooden panels and come in at the back. Parking is available along Chemin de la Confrérie, spaces 1 to 17.
- Which language are classes taught in?
- French and English. Teachers switch between the two depending on who is on the mats that evening.
- How do I book?
- Through Momoyoga, by WhatsApp on +41 76 449 77 54, or by email at info@yogicspirits.com. Booking ahead is recommended, since class sizes are capped.
- Which styles can I try?
- Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa, Hatha Flow, Yin Yoga, Yogalates, Hip Mobility, Power Yoga, Ashtanga Foundations and sound baths — all in the same studio, all covered by the same membership.
