Azmi Samdjaga

Azmi has been a full-fledged yoga teacher since 2005. The same year he graduated from the AI Holistic School with a Diploma in Ashtanga Yoga Instruction. In pursuing is holistic knowledge, he went through an extensive course of learning Advanced Massage and Anatomy from the Esalen Institute of Big Sur in which he studied Shiatsu, Swedish, Balinese, and Thai massages.  He found those trainings had brought him deeper towards the understanding of the human body in relation to yoga practice. 

Having trained in dance in his teens and along with the physiological aspect of the body in massage training, he fuses them in his yoga classes and creates a sensible approach to the practice where students are allowed to cultivate total body awareness, learn acceptance in being still, practice humility in taking on a challenge but also have fun and understand what make sense to them. 

Since 2017, he has been pursuing his path in Sound Therapy and Yoga Anatomy. After completing his Level 1 certification in Sound Therapy, he pursued his Diploma in Sound and after 12 months of rigorous online training with full on commitment and dedication he graduated in September 2021 with outstanding results. Azmi truly believes that Sound and Vibration are the science of integral healing of the whole body, mind and soul - the key towards a healthy and joyful life.

What is a Sound Bath?

What is a sound bath? The practice of sound bathing, as the name suggests, is the practice of being deeply immersed in sounds and vibrations that have the power to cleanse and heal. It is a journey of self-discovery through deep relaxation and meditation.

Taking a sound bath is taking a holistic approach to relaxation and healing. It can be a perfect escape from the modern stresses of life. A sound bath can cleanse your soul and restore your balance. This stems from the immense power of sound and vibration. Sound has a great influence on our emotions and health and can make us feel happy, energised and relaxed.
