The Classical Hatha Yoga Teachers Association (CHYTA) is a non-profit community of independent teachers across Europe who offer yogic practices structured by Sadhguru. Our mission is to make traditional hatha yoga accessible, trusted, and recognised everywhere.
We offer yoga in its pure form, just as it has been practiced and transmitted in India for thousands of years — a rarity in Europe today. Each of our teachers has personally overcome limitations and transformed through these powerful practices, which gives us the first-hand experience and intrinsic motivation to help others walk the same path.
We believe in collaboration, transparency, and inclusiveness — supporting each other as teachers while reaching more people like you.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring Classical Hatha Yoga back to its authentic roots, offering it in the same form and spirit as it has been transmitted for thousands of years.
We aim to:
- Make traditional Hatha Yoga accessible and visible across Europe.
- Support teachers in their journey of sharing this profound science.
- Build trust among seekers through transparency, quality, and integrity.
- Preserve the ancient lineage and transmit yoga safely and responsibly.
Through collaboration, we strengthen the visibility and reach of each teacher — creating a unified movement that helps more people discover the depth of Classical Hatha Yoga.
Why We Exist
In a time when yoga is often reduced to physical exercise, CHYTA exists to protect and share the original purpose of Hatha Yoga — as a path to balance, health, and inner transformation.
For teachers, CHYTA provides connection, visibility, and continued growth.
For seekers, it ensures access to authentic, safely transmitted practices.
Together, we are working to make Classical Hatha Yoga a living, vibrant presence in Europe — one that stays true to its roots while meeting the needs of today’s world.
