Jennifer Perez2024-11-14 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 Cafcaros2024-10-22 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 P2024-10-16 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 Francella2024-10-16 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❤️ Vivi2024-10-16 I can highly recommend doing the YTT with Samasti. It exceeded all my expectations. I can't put it into words. It's way more than just a Yoga Teacher Training. The Accomondation is beautiful, the food is amazing, the teachers were super knowledgeable and loving, the group was like a little family. I would do it over and over again. The teachers created a safe space and loving environment. It was one of the best months of my life :) Will never forget this experience. They also prepare you properly to teach in the real world, which is rare compared to other trainings. After the training I feel confident to teach. Daniela Cruz2024-10-13 Samasti changed my life. There’s a before and after. It is a transformational journey through yoga. I have profound gratitude for Mark, Leesa, Bernd, Cristina, and Sean. Their teachings are full of depth and awareness, and they pour their hearts into making this YTT one of a kind. You will learn the foundational principles of yoga. Each teacher has been trained in different Indian lineages, so this will enrich your experience in unimaginable ways. A nourishing and loving environment is created by the group and teachers, a safe space to share, learn and unlearn about yourself. A plus: the venue is a silent paradise in Canggu, the staff is very kind, and the food is delicious. Samasti blew my mind. I couldn’t recommend it more if you’re curious about diving deep to connect with your body, mind, breath and become and Yogi teacher. Sara Hosseinzadeh2024-10-12 There are not enough words to describe how beautiful, transformative and inspirational this training was for me. Sean, the heart and soul of Samasti, Cristina and Bernd are incredible, unique teachers that will take you on a journey into yourself. Each one of them, in their own way, create such a safe space for you to really go inwards and look inside. There is so much thought, effort and attention to detail that went into the setup of the course and is nothing close to so many other commercialized and totally westernized YTTs. The course remains true to the ancient traditions of Yoga which makes it really unique. I now understand why people call it life-changing. I am forever grateful to Samasti, to Sean, Cristina and Bernd ❤️ Melanie Lange2024-10-12 I can highly recommend this teacher training!!! I am so glad i chose this one-it is so much more than just yoga. Its an incredible journey and the best investment in yourself. The teachers, the community, the environment everything is just beautiful and i felt so supported throughout the whole training🙏🏻 thank you Samasti❤️ Hanna Carroll2024-10-12 This experience has been so much greater and so much more impactful than I ever could have imagined. It’s honestly hard to put in words but I knew I had to put this review out there to show up for this group and these teachers who have become a slice of home. Samasti YTT is so much more than a yoga teacher training. It is so much deeper. It is not surface level cutesy cute yoga… it’s real. Deep. Healing. I honestly love social media but I didn’t take a single photo for the first 3 weeks of being here. It just didn’t matter because we were having a real experience of understanding not only the physical asana practice but going very deep with yoga philosophy, meditation, and energetically for healing. I think it can be intimidating to hear the emphasis on meditation & I am not someone who ever has an easy time sitting still. Through this training I have found a stillness in my body and mind that I know will carry me through the challenges of life. I am astounded by the change I see in myself and my confidence going back into the world as a teacher (I already have an audition set up to teach back in the states). While this is a YTT and I very much intend to teach, others don’t and absolutely loved the experience. We got to teach 2 full practice classes where other YTT will give you 15 minutes and send you off in the world. Don’t worry, we had plenty of people that were absolutely terrified of teaching, but it is such a safe place to just do it without needing to be good or perfect. Such a cool experience. No money can put a price on this experience. I was hesitant to join at first because of the price but (don’t tell Sean because I plan to come back for the 300 hour)… I’d pay even more for this life changing experience. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you Sean, Cristina, and Bernd. Wow ❤️ 👏🏻 Meena Adnani2024-09-19 This was one of the best decision I ever made. Loved the entire course. Highly qualified teachers, beautiful place, amazing food, learned a lot and built beautiful friendships. It was a mind body spirit makeover. I would do the 300 hours when they launch 💜Load more
