The Samasti approach

Somatic, functional, and deeply traditional.

Most trainings teach shapes. We teach the whole of it: the body, the nervous system, and the tradition behind the practice, so what you learn reaches the places movement alone cannot.

It is the difference between performing yoga and understanding it.

Read our philosophy →
Physical body Feeling body Spirit Awareness
The koshas
Layered sheaths around a centre of awareness. The practice moves inward, from the outer body to the still point.
Functional
The physical & scientific

The body as it truly moves. Anatomy taught by a registered physiotherapist, on your own body, so every practice is safe, intelligent and built to last.

Somatic
The emotional & sensory

The practice from the inside out. Learning to feel the body from within, to read the nervous system, and to hold emotional safety, for yourself and your students.

Yogic
The traditional & spiritual

Philosophy, breath and meditation, carried through lineage. Depth you can only pass on once you have lived it, because to share it is yoga too.

Who you will learn from

“Your body already knows. You were never taught to listen.”

Sean Goldberg is a physiotherapist and yoga teacher who founded Samasti to teach clinical movement science and traditional practice as one, rather than two separate worlds. He still leads on the mat at every training.
