Who Are We?
At Samasti, we believe in the transformative power of yoga. Our mission is to create a nurturing environment where individuals can connect, grow, and find their true selves.

Welcome!
Who is Samasti
Our team is made up of practitioners completely committed to our fields of expertise. By dedicating our lives to our self practice and development, we have gained the ability to aid others in taking the next step on their journey.
The training is designed to be highly interactive, allowing students to not only learn the theoretical “map” of yogic teachings, but also explore the inner “territory” through direct experience, leading to personal growth, professional development, and spiritual transformation.
The course has been created in this way to ensure the graduates will be teaching from a place of true experiential wisdom, rather than borrowed knowledge from books.

Our Philosophy
Throughout our lives we are taught how to behave, what to wear, how we need to be to be loved. All of this moves us further from our natural state of being and can make us feel like we are watching a movie of our life, being simply an actor, pretending to be alive. The first step to knowing yourself is a deconstruction of all the falsehoods you have learnt throughout your life.
Once you start to remove all the falsities, and see the ways you are pretending in your life, you can start to reconnect more and more to who you truly are. You can begin to find out what your life is for, what is your purpose and what are your natural gifts and talents.
From this place of connection, you are able to share with the world from a place of authenticity and joy. No longer looking for external recognition and validation, rather shining and sharing the fruits and flowers that have blossomed from your inner being.

Dijan Albayrak
Senior Teacher
I am Dijan, an International Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), E-RYT500, and creator of Inner Contemplation Methodologies.
Three chapters into my PhD thesis with a successful corporate career, I felt something calling me beyond the “perfect on paper” life. I dropped everything to study what would become two decades of deep practice in yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and tantra.
I specialize in Classical Tantra and Kashmiri Shaivism, with extensive training in advanced meditation techniques and work with the Dasa Mahavidyas—the 10 Wisdom Goddesses. As co-founder of a top-rated meditation center in Bali, I’ve guided thousands of students from around the world.
My approach bridges the mystical and practical without spiritual bypassing. I believe your body never lies—real transformation addresses both body and mind through somatic practices and philosophical depth. Having lived both sides, I make ancient teachings accessible for modern life without diluting their power.
I’m not here to pretend spirituality is all light and love. I hold space for the full spectrum of human experience while guiding students toward genuine embodiment of these teachings. Whether exploring kundalini awakening or applying yogic philosophy to daily challenges, I meet you exactly where you are
