Testimonial
My experience with the 100-hour YTT at Sammasti Retreat in Rishikesh was nothing short of magical. As someone relatively new to yoga, the teachers were incredibly patient and supportive. I especially appreciated the spiritual depth – chanting by the Ganga, early morning meditations, and insightful philosophy sessions. The location is serene, surrounded by nature. I left feeling more connected to myself and inspired to continue my yoga journey.

Sammasti Retreat offers an incredibly authentic and immersive experience. I completed my 200-hour YTT in Rishikesh and was deeply impressed by the quality of teaching, the daily structure, and the balance between physical practice and inner work. The teachers are traditional yet approachable, and the food was fresh and perfectly aligned with a yogic lifestyle. I now teach in Berlin, and I carry the wisdom of Rishikesh into every class I give.

The 300-hour advanced teacher training at Sammasti Retreat was a deeply transformative journey. I had already completed my 200-hour training elsewhere, but this program took everything to the next level. We explored yoga therapy, subtle anatomy, and advanced adjustments in such depth. The surroundings in Rishikesh are spiritually charged, and the daily schedule allowed for real self-discovery. I recommend this to any teacher wanting to evolve in both heart and technique.

I joined the 100-hour YTT in Goa during a backpacking trip through India, and it was the highlight of my journey. Sammasti Retreat in Goa is peaceful, clean, and just a few minutes from the beach. The classes were well-structured, and the teachers had such warm energy. I gained a solid foundation in asanas and philosophy without feeling overwhelmed. A perfect introduction to the yogic path.

The 200-hour YTT at Sammasti Retreat in Goa was a dream come true. Practicing yoga while listening to the waves in the background created the perfect learning environment. The teachers were supportive, knowledgeable, and passionate. I loved how the curriculum balanced strong physical practice with meditation and yogic philosophy. By the end of the course, I felt physically strong, mentally clear, and ready to teach. Merci, Sammasti!
