A Living Tradition, Passed Down Through Time
Yoga is not a philosophy, belief system, or exercise routine — it is a profound science of inner transformation. Classical Hatha Yoga is one of its most ancient and powerful expressions, created as a complete path to prepare the body, mind, and energy for higher possibilities.
The practices we share today come from an unbroken lineage that has preserved the purity and depth of yoga for thousands of years. Through this living transmission, what was once available only to dedicated seekers in India is now accessible to sincere practitioners around the world.
The Timeless Roots of Hatha Yoga
The word “Hatha” comes from “Ha” (sun) and “Tha” (moon) — symbolizing the balance of two fundamental energies within the human system.
Classical Hatha Yoga is a precise and powerful process designed to bring this balance, preparing the body and mind for stillness and self-realization.
This ancient science originated from Shiva — known as the Adiyogi, the first yogi — who offered 112 different ways through which human beings can reach their ultimate nature. From this timeless wisdom, the system of Hatha Yoga was born.
Over millennia, great masters have kept this knowledge alive, transmitting it through dedicated disciples who preserved it in its most pristine form.
Transmission Through Sadhguru
In modern times, Sadhguru — a realized yogi and mystic — has revived and re-established Classical Hatha Yoga in its full depth and purity. Through the Isha Hatha Yoga School in India, he has offered this ancient science in a way that is precise, powerful, and accessible to contemporary seekers.
The teachers within CHYTA have undergone this rigorous training under his guidance, dedicating over 1,750 hours to learning, practicing, and embodying these processes. Each teacher carries this transmission forward with devotion, ensuring that the essence of yoga remains intact.
Why Lineage Matters
In today’s world, where yoga often becomes fragmented or simplified, the importance of lineage cannot be overstated.
It ensures that the practices are not based on interpretation or innovation, but on direct experiential understanding.
A genuine lineage provides:
- Safety: Each practice is time-tested and transmitted responsibly.
- Authenticity: Nothing is added or removed from its original form.
- Transformation: When practiced correctly, the effects reach far beyond the physical.
By learning from teachers trained in this lineage, you connect to a vast stream of wisdom that transcends culture and time — the same knowledge that has guided countless seekers toward balance, clarity, and inner freedom.
