Common Questions
What Makes Hatha Yoga Special?
Detailed guidance. In a Hatha class the pace is slow enough for the teacher to explain every nuance of each posture: how to position your feet, direct your hips and support your spine. This helps prevent injuries and builds a solid foundation for further practice.
Posture and spinal health. Long hours of sitting load the back and shoulders. Hatha yoga strengthens the deep core muscles that support the spine and improves alignment, easing chronic lower-back pain and neck stiffness.
Breath and peace of mind. Every class includes pranayama (conscious breathing) exercises that calm the nervous system and lower stress-hormone levels. Each session ends with a deep relaxation in Savasana.
Who Is Hatha Yoga For?
Complete beginners. Hatha is the best style to start with because the slower tempo gives you time to learn and listen to your body. You do not need to be flexible or athletic. You are welcome on the mat exactly as you are.
Office workers and those with sedentary lifestyles. After a long day at the desk, Hatha yoga opens the chest, relieves shoulder and neck tension and restores natural range of motion in the body.
Older adults (60+). The calm tempo and modifications make Hatha a safe yet effective practice for older practitioners. Mobility, balance and bone health all receive a meaningful boost.

Hatha Yoga at GoYoga Tallinn
GoYoga Hatha yoga classes are led by Dian Jarvenkuln, who has completed a Yoga Alliance 200-hour teacher training and focuses on body alignment and mindful movement. Under Dian's guidance you learn how each posture should feel in your own body, not just how it looks from the outside. Victoria Palusaar also teaches Hatha-influenced classes at GoYoga, bringing her own warm and encouraging style to every session.
Hatha yoga classes appear on the GoYoga timetable several times each week. Check the latest schedule for exact days and times. Classes last 75 minutes and are open to practitioners of every age and ability. Small group sizes (up to 15 people) ensure that each student receives individual attention and hands-on adjustments from the teacher.
Scientific research confirms that a regular Hatha yoga practice significantly reduces chronic stress and improves spinal mobility. A peer-reviewed study published on PubMed found that Hatha practitioners showed improvements in balance, flexibility and overall quality of life after just eight weeks. At GoYoga you can enjoy this experience in a cosy, intimate setting where you never have to worry about overcrowding or noise.
Our studio is located at Narva mnt 7D, 3rd floor, Tallinn 10117, right in the city centre with easy access by tram, bus or car. If you are new to yoga, we recommend reading our yoga classes in Tallinn guide to learn how to prepare for your first session. More experienced practitioners looking for a faster flow can also try Yin Yoga for deep relaxation or explore our studio page for a virtual tour of the space.
Hatha yoga is one of the oldest branches of yoga practice, rooted in texts such as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika written in the 15th century. Unlike fast-paced Vinyasa Flow, Hatha invites you to stay longer in each pose, cultivating awareness and patience. This makes it an excellent complement to more dynamic styles and a wonderful standalone practice for anyone seeking calm strength and mental clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hatha yoga suitable for complete beginners?
Yes, Hatha yoga is one of the best styles to start with. The slower pace and detailed instruction give you time to understand every movement. At GoYoga, teacher Dian Jarvenkuln offers simplified variations for each posture, so you never need to worry about flexibility or previous experience.
How much does a Hatha yoga class cost in Tallinn?
A single GoYoga class costs 18 EUR. The best way to start is the Studio Explorer Pass at 29 EUR, which includes 3 classes of your choice within 30 days. For regular practice we recommend the 5-class card (50 EUR), 12-class card (108 EUR) or unlimited monthly pass (79 EUR/month). View all options on our pricing page.
What is the difference between Hatha yoga and Vinyasa yoga?
Hatha yoga is calmer and more static: postures are held for longer and the focus is on alignment and breathing. Vinyasa yoga is more dynamic, with movements linked to the breath rhythm, making the class physically more intense. If you prefer a gentler pace and want to explore postures in greater depth, Hatha is the right choice for you.
What should I bring to a Hatha yoga class?
Just comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Yoga mats, blocks, straps and blankets are all available free of charge at GoYoga. We suggest arriving 5 to 10 minutes before class so you can settle in calmly. It is best to come on a relatively empty stomach, or eat only a light meal at least 1.5 hours beforehand.
Can Hatha yoga help with back pain?
Yes, regular Hatha yoga is one of the most effective ways to relieve chronic back pain. The postures strengthen the deep core muscles and improve spinal mobility. However, if you are experiencing acute back pain we recommend consulting your doctor before class. GoYoga's small group sizes ensure the teacher can adapt to your body's individual needs.
