Is this you

Some arrive to become teachers. Others to deepen their practice. Everyone leaves with both.

With more than 500 graduates since 2016, the same four reasons for joining the program appear again and again.

You want to teach, and teach well

40 hours of teaching methodology and two full hour practicums mean you leave having actually taught, with feedback from senior teachers and your peers. This is about providing an experience, not just getting a certificate.

You want more than just gymnastics

You have enjoyed the practice, but the philosophy, the breathwork and the meaning behind it all still feel out of reach. You want to know how to bring yoga into your daily life.

You want to understand the body

A clinical physiotherapist teaches the anatomy, and you learn it on your own body, not from a book.

You need real time off

Between work, family and screens, you know a one weekend workshop will not shift anything. A month of full immersion, inward first, will.

“I came in with a rather non-spiritual background, and through this training I developed a new and much deeper understanding of yoga… the environment felt truly safe and supportive.”

Where you will live

A sanctuary built for going inward.

Set within a private estate in Canggu, the villa features an open air living area for meals and rest between classes, lush gardens, a large pool, beautifully designed air conditioned rooms with private ensuites, and two peaceful shalas with garden views.

More than accommodation, it is an integral part of the training: a safe and tranquil home away from distractions, where you can rest, feel supported and go deeper into the experience.

Six things you will not find combined anywhere else in Bali.

There are hundreds of 200 hour trainings to choose from. These are the six that make ours different, and the first one is the reason the school exists.

Anatomy from a physiotherapist trained in Australia

Sean qualified as a physiotherapist in Australia in 2004 and teaches the anatomy himself. You learn how bodies actually work, how to keep them safe, and how to adapt yoga to injuries and limitations.

260hours

More time with your teachers

The training runs for 28 days rather than the usual three weeks, and that adds up to 260 contact hours. Every one of them is used.

20people at most

Your teachers know your body, not just your name

Many trainings run with 40 or more students. Here the group is never more than 20, and by the end of the first week your teachers know your body, your history and your challenges.

Allincluded

Everything is included for the full month

Accommodation for the whole stay, two organic vegetarian meals a day, excursions, a Balinese ceremony, sound healing, all manuals and a 40 day guided home practice after you graduate.

2practicums

You teach two full classes before you graduate

Many schools ask for a single short practicum. Here you plan and teach two complete one hour classes, so you leave ready to stand in front of a room.

Tradition from a living lineage

Sean met his teacher in 2010 and still studies with him in India every year. The traditional practices come to you through an unbroken teacher to student line.

Why four weeks

You cannot rush a nervous system into trust.

Real change moves like a moon, not a switch. It fills a little more each week, and only becomes whole in the fourth. We built 28 days so nothing has to be rushed, and so what opens in you has room to become something you can carry home and teach.

Week 1 Your nervous system finally slows down. You arrive, in every sense of the word.

Week 2 The practices take root. Breath, meditation and philosophy start to weave together, and the poses begin to feel like your own.

Week 3 The real material begins to rise. What surfaces on the mat starts to make sense off it, and your teaching voice finds its footing.

Week 4 Everything integrates. You teach your two full classes, the philosophy stops being theory, and what opened up in you has time to settle before you fly home.

The fourth week is where it all takes hold. It is the part we will never cut.

Free booklet

Everything you want to know, in one place

The full curriculum, a day at Samasti, what it costs, your teachers and more. One booklet to keep and come back to whenever you need it.

It opens on this page, and Sean will follow up with you by email.

Why Samasti exists

Samasti works from a simple idea: what you have lived is stored in how you move, breathe and hold yourself. Asana, pranayama, meditation and somatic work are not separate subjects here. They are one practice, approached from four sides. Nothing is taught as information for its own sake. You practise it, feel it in your own body, and only then learn to teach it. The inward journey comes first, because it is what makes the outward sharing real.

The training stands on two legs: clinical movement science from Sean’s physiotherapy training, and traditional teaching he carries as a recognised teacher within a living Indian lineage.

Founder and Lead Teacher

The path

Deconstruct. Reconnect. Blossom.

The training moves through three stages. You take yourself apart, return to what was always there, and share your gifts with the world.

DECONSTRUCT

The shape you were handed starts to come apart.

Sean Goldberg

Director and Founder

Sean qualified as a physiotherapist in Australia and is a clinical Pilates instructor, and he is a recognised teacher within a living tantra lineage.

Sean Goldberg BSc (Physiotherapy) is the Director and founder of Samasti Yoga. His teaching style is based on a deep understanding of yoga anatomy, yoga physiology, somatic therapy and traditional Hatha Yoga. He is a registered physiotherapist in Australia.

Sean regularly teaches meditation courses, workshops and retreats for people that suffer from chronic pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia. He has dedicated his life to integrating Eastern and Western philosophies to find a balanced view of the world and its mysteries. Starting in 2006 he spent 5 years studying, practicing and teaching yoga in Thailand in a Hatha Tantra yoga school based in Bihar Yoga philosophy.

In 2010 he went on to do his 500 hour yoga and meditation YTT with an intense focus on silent retreats and an energetic form of Hatha Yoga. Since then he has spent the majority of his time between India, Brazil and Bali continuing his practices of traditional tantra, self knowledge and somatic therapy. Sean created Samasti Yoga in 2016 as a manifestation of his intention to spread consciousness and healing to as many people as possible.

Sean still trains within Shivoham Tantra, a classical tantra school. He assists his teacher’s workshops in Bali and returns to the ashram in India each year, and what he shares at Samasti was passed to him directly, teacher to student rather than from books. He is one of the school’s recognised teachers.

Thia Moana

Senior Teacher

Thia is an E-RYT 500 teacher trainer who has taught since 2011, and she shares Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, pranayama, kirtan and meditation.

Moana has been teaching and sharing Yoga since 2011, with a practice rooted in mindful movement, breath, meditation, self-inquiry and embodied awareness.

Her approach sees Yoga as a lived practice. Asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra and other practices are not separate destinations, but different doorways into a deeper relationship with ourselves, our experience and life.

With a warm, intuitive, and mindful approach, Moana encourages students to move beyond simply performing techniques or postures and instead discover the practice through direct experience: feeling, listening, observing and becoming more present.

Her teaching bridges the gross and the subtle, the physical and the inner, inviting students to explore Yoga not only on the mat, but as a way of living, relating and being.

For Moana, Yoga is not something we simply practice, it is something we learn to embody.
