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: a meeting with yourself, with others, with life itself. Without revealing the mysteries that make this training so unique, I can simply say that nothing has ever touched, shaken, and aligned me so deeply all at once. It’s a profound journey — sometimes intense, always compassionate — that goes far beyond what you expect. Every human being should experience something like this at least once in their lifetime. Thank you, Samasti. From the bottom of my heart. Lacey Brownyard2025-05-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I didn’t just become a yoga teacher in Bali. At Samasti I transformed! So yes, I got my 200 hours and yes, I learned amazing things about theory and anatomy and Asana. I experienced hours upon hours of meditation and wonderful teachings from experienced amazing instructors. I ate wonderful food, which lets face it, is the reason I chose Bali to begin with… But to tell you the truth, this once in a lifetime opportunity, hit me exactly where I needed it to. I met the most amazing group of people from all over the world, and what we experienced together bonded us for a lifetime! I grew so much from this experience, and I’m so grateful for the time that I had at Samasti. If I had one wish, I would wish that I was still back in my bubble of protection, but life is not like that. I have to face the things that come my way, and Samasti has prepared me mind, body, and spirit. Therefore, all I can say is thank you to Bernd, Christina, and Sean for all of their hard work and dedication into making Samasti what it is!

The training was completely worth my money and I would trust these people with my life. Elisabeth Schneider2025-01-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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’t describe with words, what I‘ve experienced. I am so grateful for the people I’ve met and the incredible teachers. They shared their wisdom with us and are the most beautiful, caring souls. I can recommend coming to Samasti with all my heart, if you think about doing a YTT. The venue is beautiful with the most loving staff. All you need to do is focusing on your experience, everything else is taken care of. The classes are great and well structured and you receive so much knowledge about Yoga and the philosophy behind and become confident in teaching Yoga. Sean, Bernd and Cristina created a beautiful space for us to grow and experience ourselves throughout this month and I am endlessly grateful for that. 🙏🏻✨ Alex P2024-12-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! What an amazing experience I had! I can’t recommend enough to choose this teacher training. I met the most wonderful teachers here. They have so much knowledge and love to share with all the students. They created 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 learned so much about myself and was able to release all the negative energy that was stagnant in my body. If you look for a training to become a teacher, deepen your yoga practice or learn more about yoga, you can stop searching. This is the best course! Thank you for one of the best month of my life! Namaste! Aicha Schreibt2024-12-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was part of the Samasti 200 RYT in December 2024. It was a special month. I take home so much knowledge and tools. Personal growth, friendship and of course everything I need to be a yoga teacher. The teaching team consisting of Sean, Cristina and Bernd is perfectly balanced & so loving. Thank you for this very special experience, I will never forget it in my life. Thank you Samasti family. Love Aicha ♥️ Jennifer Perez2024-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 ✨ Nikki Cafcaros2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Monica P2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. 🫶 Sabrina Francella2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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❤️Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
