Is this you
With more than 500 graduates since 2016, the same four reasons for joining the program appear again and again.
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 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.
A clinical physiotherapist teaches the anatomy, and you learn it on your own body, not from a book.
Between work, family and screens, you know a one weekend workshop will not shift anything. A month of full immersion, inward first, will.
The Samasti difference
There are hundreds of 200 hour trainings to choose from. This is what makes us unique.
Sean is a registered physiotherapist with a BSc in Physiotherapy. You learn how bodies actually work, how to keep them safe, and how to adapt yoga to injuries and limitations. This is clinical knowledge, not yoga folklore.
The industry minimum is 180 hours and most schools stop there. We run 28 days instead of 21 and use every one of them, giving you 80 more hours of practice, philosophy, anatomy and real teaching than in a standard training.
Many trainings run with 40 or more students. At Samasti you join a small group where everyone is known by name from day one. Your teachers know your body, your history and your challenges by the end of the first week, and by graduation your cohort feels like family, the kind that stays in your life long after Bali.
Accommodation for the full month, two organic vegetarian meals daily, excursions, traditional Balinese ceremony, sound healing experience, all manuals, and a 40 day sadhana, our guided home practice, after you graduate. One price, no surprises when you arrive.
Most schools allow you to graduate after one 15 minute practicum. Here you plan and teach two complete one hour classes before you graduate. It is the difference between holding a certificate and being ready to stand in front of a room.
The traditional practices in this training come through an unbroken teacher to student line. Sean is a recognised teacher within a living tantra lineage and still travels to study with his teacher in India every year.
\nWhy four weeks
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.
The fourth week is where it all takes hold. It is the part we will never cut.
From the founder
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.
\nThe training stands on two legs: clinical movement science from Sean\u2019s physiotherapy practice, and traditional teaching he carries as a recognised teacher within a living Indian lineage.
The path
The training moves through three stages. You take yourself apart, return to what was always there, and share your gifts with the world.
Your teachers
Sean teaches alongside teachers who have given their lives to this practice.
What you learn
Movement, breath, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and self awareness are not taught as separate subjects, but as parts of one complete system. Across the month, each area is woven through practice, discussion and teaching experience, helping you understand not only what to teach, but how yoga can support the whole person.

A day at Samasti
A rhythm designed to move you deeper each day, with real space to rest.
Where you will live
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.

In their words
“Take the leap, Samasti has the net to catch you.”

Alumni video testimonials
“I didn't just become a yoga teacher in Bali. At Samasti I transformed! ... Samasti has prepared me mind, body, and spirit.”
“If you're looking for genuine transformational change beyond just a typical yoga teaching training, this is the course for you... Take the leap, Samasti has the net to catch you.”
“Samasti is not just a Yoga Teacher Training, it's a training in being human. You come here to learn how to teach yoga, and you leave with so much more.”
“Five years ago I did my yoga teacher training at Samasti Yoga. I am still in contact with many people from the school and community... The training is not easy, you really work for your certificate, but that is exactly what makes it so valuable.”
“Since that training I have taught yoga all around including Bali, Montenegro, Ibiza and California, always felt prepared and comfortable in my practice.”
“I came to Samasti having had only limited experience with yoga... I am so glad that I placed my trust in Sean and his fabulous teachers! This experience has been amazing.”
“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.”
“I'm 18 years old, and doing the training at Samasti was the most transformative and precious experience of my life... Take the step. Be brave. Say yes to yourself.”
“The head teacher Sean puts his whole heart into the training... we were working in a pretty small group, which created an intimate, supportive atmosphere... very good value to money!”
“This training is completely non-dogmatic, they allow you the freedom to start to choose your own yoga journey... you get the opportunity to teach two full 1 hour classes.”
“When I was reading reviews about life changing transformations, I was genuinely wondering if this is all real... I can assure you that you will not be the same after Samasti!”
“5 stars isn't enough. What Sean, Cristina, and Bernd and the team have cultivated is truly unique and one of a kind in the world... deeply embedded within scientific knowledge and evidence based practice.”
“We got to teach 2 full practice classes where other YTT will give you 15 minutes and send you off in the world... I'd pay even more for this life changing experience.”
“Sean is an exceptional teacher... As a physiotherapist, he brings incredible depth and clarity to his teaching... Samasti feels like home on the other side of the world.”
“One of the most beautiful and profound experiences of my life... The level of professionalism, commitment, dedication and knowledge from the team is second to none.”
“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 needed a sign, here it is.”
"The teachers created such a safe space for us, where we could share our feelings without any judgment. Our group was so great! We were strangers at the beginning, but through this 4 weeks we became friends. This training doesn’t just give you a certification. It also offers guidance and a new family you can always turn to."
"I just finished my 200h YTT at Samasti and WOW. It was a whole month full of bliss, joy, release and getting closer to myself. I can recommend coming to Samasti with all my heart."
"The curriculum was thoughtfully designed and taught with so much heart and passion. The location was breathtaking, the food was delicious, and the overall personal experience was incredible."
After the training
Most trainings end at graduation. Ours doesn’t. Every graduate is invited into the 40 day sadhana, a guided home practice that carries what you built in Bali into your daily life, with a prompt, a practice and your cohort checking in with you the whole way.
You also join more than 500 graduates in our worldwide alumni community, where teachers share classes, swap job leads and stay connected to the people who trained beside them, long after they have left the shala.
