Samasti Yoga Reviews

I'm going to try to keep it short and summarized as possible, because I have such deep positive thoughts and feelings about the Samasti Yoga Teacher Training Program. My extensive research paid off, and I'm grateful for the universe leading me to this exact program. The Samasti Yoga Teacher Training is now one of the top highlights of my life, and a pivotal moment in my healing and spiritual journey. This program went above and beyond my expectations. All the instructors were amazing: Sean, Cristina, and Bernd being the main ones. They all brought a unique gift to the program, but they all shared the qualities of deep knowledge of the subject matter, and genuine care for all the students. They are all open minded individuals who never push or force an opinion or decision on you, but allow you to make decisions based off your comfortability and readiness. Their main concern is safety throughout the program, taking much care of the physical and mental health of the students, and teaching us to have that same mindset as an instructor. The curriculum is well thought out and dense, but strategically spread out where it's manageable. If you're interested in the subject matter, you will not get bored at all. They held my attention from yoga theory classes, to philosophy and anatomy classes. Most importantly you get taught the Eastern world/original teachings of the yogic lifestyle: which include asana, pranayama, meditation, ethics, etc. You'll learn about the foundation and beginnings of yoga. Not only will you get your YTT certification here, but if you put in the effort, (which felt effortless in such a healthy environment), you will begin to heal in the most beautiful way. I don't know how to explain it, but you have to experience it for yourself. It was a fun program that never really felt like work as I enjoyed every step of the journey. The home cooked meals were amazing. The staff were helpful and lovely at the villa. The villa is such a beautiful and peaceful environment for the program to be located. You'll build deep lifelong connections with likeminded individuals. This program gives you more than just a certificate, it gives you an invaluable and unforgettable experience. The Samasti program guides you back onto your true path and closer to your authentic self. Usually when I write reviews I like to make a pros and cons list, but I've tried very hard to think of a con list and can't come up with any. If you're looking for an authentic YTT program with knowledgable and genuine instructors, you don't need to search any further. If you needed a sign, here it is ✨

If you’re looking for genuine transformational change beyond just a typical yoga teaching training, this is the course for you. Do not expect it to be easy or a vacation, it’s so so so much more than that. be ready to dive deep into yourself through the life-changing teachings of the incredible teachers and experiences at Samasti. You can tell so much love, passion and intention went into creating and facilitating this course. The venue is incredible, the food is genuinely amazing and the teachings are beyond what you will find anywhere else in the world. If you are seeking a change in your sense of self, a change in your perception of the world or an inspiration into what is possible in your lifetime, do not hesitate to attend this course. I am forever a changed being because of all i absorbed and learnt in just 29 days and if you feel called to embark on this challenging yet insanely rewarding journey. Do it. Do not think twice. I cannot emphasise how much this course has evolved my world view into something so much more sustainable, healthy and meaningful. After all my pain, this course has shown me there’s a better way to process it all rather than festering in victimhood, self-hate and fear. Take the leap, Samasti has the net to catch you. Thank you to Bernd, Christina and Sean for everything. I will never forget these 29 days and will continue practicing these teachings for the rest of my life.

Samasti Yoga is beyond words, and I am filled with gratitude for the experience. It is so much more than I could have hoped for and it truly does take you on a life-changing, transformative journey. The 200h YTT dives deep into the holistic essence of yoga, offering much more than just the teachings about physical practice. It explores the depths of the yogic world, focusing on the mind, body & soul connection. Whether you are preparing to become a yoga teacher or, like me, looking to strengthen your personal practice, this training is an absolute gift. Unlike many other commercial places, Samasti keeps the classes small and intimate, allowing for a very personal experience. You live together, share breakfast & dinner with the teachers - fostering a sense of community and connection that is rare. The accommodation is amazing - a serene, tranquil oasis full of positive energy, despite nestled in the heart of busy Canggu. I’ve been travelling to Bali for many years and therefore I had no hesitation towards Canggu, on the contrary, I prefer it. However, since Ubud is often marketed as “the capital of spirituality” this might raise some doubts. I highly recommend ignoring those concerns so you don’t miss out on the incredible experience that Samasti offers. The modern villa, beautiful gardens, and breathtaking yoga shalas were thoughtfully designed by their owner, who has a deep connection and understanding of the yogic world herself. The food is delicious, nourishing both the body and soul - and it accommodates every dietary restriction. The staff is very sweet, welcoming and makes you feel right at home. At the heart of Samasti are its incredible teachers: authentic, genuinely caring, and highly experienced. Their diverse skill sets complement one another beautifully, creating a very balanced & holistic teaching approach. Even more importantly, they cultivate an engaging and inspiring learning environment. Samasti Yoga is worth every penny and so much more. If you are looking to embark on a true yogic journey, look no further. This is the place. Thank you Sean, Bernd & Cristina. 🫶

What an incredible journey with Samasti. Truly there aren’t words to describe what completing my YTT with this school was like. This is unlike any other training, the team Sean, Bernd, and Christina are the most genuine beautiful yogis with so much knowledge and love to share. The venue itself is so magical. Truly feels like a home away from Home. All your needs are met, the food that is prepared is so nourishing and delicious. So grateful to be able to eat a diverse range of food that I am so excited to make at home! Truly there are no worries during your stay all your needs are taken care of so you can truly surrender to the process. The course itself is so thought out to allow each student to dive deep into self, while attaining so much knowledge and wisdom all at the same time. The extra activities and events that happen outside of the curriculum are so special and really do make such a positive impact on the entire experience. Again everything that occurs is truly so intentional and supportive of everyone’s process. Also, you receive 2 full hour asana teaching practicums! Most schools maybe give you 30 minutes of teaching practice. This was sooo impactful for everyone as we were all able to really find our confidence and flow. If you’re looking to grow, evolve, and learn how to FEEL this is the training for you. If your looking JUST to receive a certificate this provides so much more then that so maybe this school isn’t for you. But I can assure you this school is very unique and one of a kind. An experience I’ll never forget. Thank you Samasti❤️

I can highly recommend doing the YTT with Samasti. It exceeded all my expectations. I can't put it into words. It's way more than just a Yoga Teacher Training. The Accomondation is beautiful, the food is amazing, the teachers were super knowledgeable and loving, the group was like a little family. I would do it over and over again. The teachers created a safe space and loving environment. It was one of the best months of my life :) Will never forget this experience. They also prepare you properly to teach in the real world, which is rare compared to other trainings. After the training I feel confident to teach.

Samasti changed my life. There’s a before and after. It is a transformational journey through yoga. I have profound gratitude for Mark, Leesa, Bernd, Cristina, and Sean. Their teachings are full of depth and awareness, and they pour their hearts into making this YTT one of a kind. You will learn the foundational principles of yoga. Each teacher has been trained in different Indian lineages, so this will enrich your experience in unimaginable ways. A nourishing and loving environment is created by the group and teachers, a safe space to share, learn and unlearn about yourself. A plus: the venue is a silent paradise in Canggu, the staff is very kind, and the food is delicious. Samasti blew my mind. I couldn’t recommend it more if you’re curious about diving deep to connect with your body, mind, breath and become and Yogi teacher.

There are not enough words to describe how beautiful, transformative and inspirational this training was for me. Sean, the heart and soul of Samasti, Cristina and Bernd are incredible, unique teachers that will take you on a journey into yourself. Each one of them, in their own way, create such a safe space for you to really go inwards and look inside. There is so much thought, effort and attention to detail that went into the setup of the course and is nothing close to so many other commercialized and totally westernized YTTs. The course remains true to the ancient traditions of Yoga which makes it really unique. I now understand why people call it life-changing. I am forever grateful to Samasti, to Sean, Cristina and Bernd ❤️

I can highly recommend this teacher training!!! I am so glad i chose this one-it is so much more than just yoga. Its an incredible journey and the best investment in yourself. The teachers, the community, the environment everything is just beautiful and i felt so supported throughout the whole training🙏🏻 thank you Samasti❤️

This experience has been so much greater and so much more impactful than I ever could have imagined. It’s honestly hard to put in words but I knew I had to put this review out there to show up for this group and these teachers who have become a slice of home. Samasti YTT is so much more than a yoga teacher training. It is so much deeper. It is not surface level cutesy cute yoga… it’s real. Deep. Healing. I honestly love social media but I didn’t take a single photo for the first 3 weeks of being here. It just didn’t matter because we were having a real experience of understanding not only the physical asana practice but going very deep with yoga philosophy, meditation, and energetically for healing. I think it can be intimidating to hear the emphasis on meditation & I am not someone who ever has an easy time sitting still. Through this training I have found a stillness in my body and mind that I know will carry me through the challenges of life. I am astounded by the change I see in myself and my confidence going back into the world as a teacher (I already have an audition set up to teach back in the states). While this is a YTT and I very much intend to teach, others don’t and absolutely loved the experience. We got to teach 2 full practice classes where other YTT will give you 15 minutes and send you off in the world. Don’t worry, we had plenty of people that were absolutely terrified of teaching, but it is such a safe place to just do it without needing to be good or perfect. Such a cool experience. No money can put a price on this experience. I was hesitant to join at first because of the price but (don’t tell Sean because I plan to come back for the 300 hour)… I’d pay even more for this life changing experience. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you Sean, Cristina, and Bernd. Wow ❤️ 👏🏻

This was one of the best decision I ever made. Loved the entire course. Highly qualified teachers, beautiful place, amazing food, learned a lot and built beautiful friendships. It was a mind body spirit makeover. I would do the 300 hours when they launch 💜

I can absolutely recommend Samasti to everyone who likes to continue on their Yoga path or go on a transformational journey. All teachers were truly knowledgeable with years of experience, loving and passionate. Samasti’s vision and values was felt in every moment. The sessions were truly unique and thoughtfully planned that you will not forget and can nourish from for a long time. From Day 1 and throughout I felt always welcomed, supported and well understood. Everything was perfectly taken care of from the beautiful venue, gorgeous food to organising optional events. Be courageous and curious to enter this beautiful journey for yourself! 💫

If you‘re looking for an amazing and transformational YTT, look no further! I had the best month, full of magical moments, personal growth, delicious food and an incredibly warm, knowledgable and authentic team of teachers. I am beyond grateful for this group of people who have created this wonderful space that allowed me to show up as my true self ever day. This experience really helped me on my path to step into my full potential and I can 100% recommend it. Whether you‘re looking to become a yoga teacher or want to promote your self-growth, join the Samasti family - you won‘t regret it!

I have just completed the 200hr YTT with Samasti, and it was nothing short of transformative. The structure of the course has been designed so intentionally & so thoughtfully, and provided a wonderful mix of teachings, including asana/pranayama/meditation, philosophy and anatomy, as well as plenty of space for self-reflection. The teachers are so knowledgeable and delivered the content with such love & authenticity, all while holding a wonderfully safe space for growth and learning at all times. The venue was five-star, the food was amazing, and the sense of community we built across the month was just beautiful. I'm super grateful for this experience, and would recommend to anyone. :)

Highly recommmended! I have just finished the 200h Yoga Teacher Training and I am overwhelmed by the transformation we have all undergone after a month of intensive study of asanas, anatomy, yoga philosophy and ourselves. At the heart of this training is the Samasti family and they are just that, a family around a big dining table (with a lot of delicious food). Our teachers shared their personal history and experiences with us. Their omnipresent passion for yoga is deeply impressive and inspiring. At the same time, the doors were always open for questions or concerns. This is what made the training and the experience here so unique, the group of students and teachers grow together very strongly and connect on a deeper level. I can take a lot from this time for myself. I am infinitely grateful!

I recently completed my 200hr yoga teacher training at Samasti Yoga in Bali, and it was an absolutely transformational and beautiful experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by the incredible team of teachers. The curriculum was comprehensive and thoughtfully designed, blending traditional yoga philosophy with modern techniques. The teachers were amazingly personable and highly skilled, truly walking the talk in every aspect of their teaching. Their dedication and passion for yoga were evident, and they created a nurturing environment that allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. The beautiful surroundings of Bali provided the perfect backdrop for deepening my practice and connecting with fellow students. The training not only enhanced my yoga skills but also enriched my understanding of human energy and self-awareness. I left feeling confident, inspired, and ready to share my knowledge with others. If you're looking for a holistic, life-changing yoga teacher training program, I highly recommend Samasti Yoga. Samasti Yoha School truly creates a sanctuary for personal growth and transformation. Thank you 🙏 ❤️

I had an incredible experience at Samasti, it was so much more than a yoga teacher training. The teachers were so knowledgeable and made the classes and lectures fun, and the holistic curriculum allowed me to learn more about yoga and myself. The food and location was also amazing! Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful time during 200h Yoga Teacher Training with Samasti. The teachers were amazing - very engaged, knowledgeable and inspiring. The head teacher Sean puts his whole heart into the training. The programme is well thought through and full of various experiences. I really appreciate that we were working in a pretty small group (13 people), which created and intimate, supportive atmosphere. I find it very precious and unique compared to other trainings that I was considering. Beware though that it is a challenging and very intensive programme (with almost no free time), so probably it won’t be a perfect fit for everyone. Be prepared to be challenged not only physically but also and foremost mentally/ emotionally. The emphasis is more on the spiritual and self development aspects than asana. If that’s what you are looking for - I am sure that this will be a perfect YTT for you. It’s also worth mentioning that the accommodation is beautiful and super comfortable, the localisation is great (you will find everything you need close by) and the food is sooo delicious. Can’t complain about anything regarding the venue, very good value to money!

Very professional yoga school, great teachers, everything perfectly organized, really delicious food & you can't imagine a better/nicer accommodation than at Samasti!

Samasti Yoga School provides a unique opportunity for yoga enthusiasts to study and practice in the serene beauty of Bali. Their 4-week intensive Yoga Teacher Training stands out by offering a complete and in-depth exploration of the yogic sciences. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, covering not only physical practice but also yogic philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. It’s not just about learning asanas and sequences. The focus is on your inner journey—a profound exploration of self. Through dedicated practice, you’ll uncover layers of authenticity within yourself. When you do YTT and you are doing it for all the right reasons, you really need to bring yourself in it. This way you can discover that you are a lot stronger, than you think you are. You have the constant support from the teachers team, that consists of expert practitioners who’ve dedicated their lives to yoga. Their depth of knowledge and passion ensures a rich learning experience. The training encourages healing and transformation. By immersing yourself in the teachings, you’ll discover how yoga extends beyond physical postures. It becomes a tool for self-awareness, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. Samasti’s approach empowers you as a skilled instructor. You won’t merely memorize sequences; instead, you’ll embody the teachings. This authenticity allows you to connect with your students on a deeper level. “A traveler I am, and a navigator, and every day I discover a new region within my soul.” Khalil Gibran The Prophet

It‘s hard to describe what this month was about - so much more than I expected! You should do your YTT here if you really want to learn what Yoga is about and if you are ready to go inwards - it is not always easy, but for sure worth it🤞🏼Thanks to Sean, Bernd & Cristina! (And thanks for the incredible food - just amaaaaazing)
