About
Raising yoga therapy to a profession.
A Singapore-registered, non-profit professional body uniting yoga therapists, teachers, institutions and researchers across Asia.
Our story
Founded in 2016, built on decades of practice.
APYTA was created to realise a long-held wish among yoga therapists and physicians: a common platform to share expertise, set standards and grow the field together.
Envisioned by pioneers whose work spans back to the 1980s, APYTA brings research-based knowledge and clinical experience to a single mission — establishing yoga therapy as a respected, evidence-informed complement to modern care.
Today the association registers and certifies practitioners, accredits training schools, convenes an annual international conference, and maintains a public directory the community can trust.
