Who We Support
The Seeker
Even with past exposure to yoga and spiritual wisdom, you still feel unsure how to bring the practices fully into daily life. Stress, distraction, and a lack of deeper experience often leave you searching for more consistency and real transformation.
The Restless Achiever
Life is good on the outside, but inside you feel unfulfilled and drained by stress and constant mental chatter. You long for balance and clarity, but with limited time you don’t know where to begin.
The Wounded Healer
After heartbreak, depression, or struggles with addiction, you feel lost and out of control. You are searching for strength and a healthy way to rebuild your life without falling back into old patterns.
The Silent Sufferer
Years of back pain, stiffness, and recurring injuries have left you frustrated after countless treatments that didn’t last. You simply want to move freely again and hope for a method that can finally bring lasting relief.
No matter where you start — with stress, pain, or just curiosity — Classical Hatha Yoga offers a path to balance, vitality, and inner strength.
Classical Hatha Yoga Rooted in Tradition
CHYTA is a community of independent teachers across Europe dedicated to preserving and sharing traditional hatha yoga as it has been transmitted through the ages. Beyond modern hatha flow or fitness-based hatha yoga asanas, this is a precise, experiential path that balances body, mind, and energy. We teach with integrity, support each other as a unified network, and honour the lineage behind these timeless practices so seekers can experience depth, clarity, and inner stability.
How Classical Hatha Yoga Works
Hatha yoga is often known today through flowing sequences or isolated hatha yoga asanas. Classical Hatha Yoga, however, is a complete system that uses posture, breath, and inner alignment to create stability in the body and clarity in the mind. Practiced consistently, it supports physical health, emotional balance, and a grounded sense of wellbeing — not as a quick fix, but as a long-term foundation for life.
“Hatha Yoga is not body-bending business. It is about taking charge of the way you think, feel, and perceive life.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is traditional hatha yoga?
Traditional hatha yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. Unlike modern fitness yoga styles, it emphasizes both body and mind, helping you find balance, clarity, and inner stillness while also building physical health.
Do I need prior experience to join a Classical Hatha Yoga class?
No, beginners are welcome. The practices are adaptable: slower, meditative sessions guide you gently, while faster, more dynamic sessions challenge you when you’re ready. Each class is structured so everyone, regardless of experience, can benefit.
Do I need to be flexible to start Classical Hatha Yoga?
Not at all. Flexibility develops gradually through practice. Traditional hatha yoga is designed to meet you where you are, using postures, breathing, and awareness to build mobility and strength safely over time. Many people actually begin yoga because they are not flexible.
Is Classical Hatha Yoga religious?
No. Hatha yoga is a spiritual and practical discipline, not a religion. While its roots are ancient and connected to Indian philosophy, our classes focus on universal practices of breath, body, and awareness that anyone can benefit from, regardless of personal beliefs.
How much time do I need to practice Classical Hatha Yoga?
You can benefit even from short sessions of 20–30 minutes a few times a week. Longer sessions of 60–90 minutes allow for a deeper experience. The key is consistency: regular practice, even if short, has lasting effects on energy, focus, and overall well-being.
