Raising yoga therapy to a profession.
A Singapore-registered, non-profit professional body uniting yoga therapists, teachers, institutions and researchers across Asia.
Founded in 2016, built on decades of practice.
AYTA 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, AYTA 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.

Membership FAQ.
Which membership is right for me?
If you are still studying, start with Student. Practising yoga teachers choose Yoga Teacher / Professional. Those with 300+ hours of therapy training qualify for Certified Therapist. Schools and centres choose Institutional, and brands or allied-health organisations choose Associate.
What do I need to provide to join?
To create your membership we ask only for basic details and your membership type. You complete your full profile — certificates, training hours, photo and bio — afterwards from your member dashboard, at your own pace.
How does verification work?
Once you submit your qualification documents, the AYTA team reviews them. Approved members receive a verifiable certificate and a “verified” badge on their public directory listing.
Is the fee annual?
Yes, membership renews every 12 months. You can manage or cancel renewal any time from your dashboard.
Can I upgrade later?
Absolutely. As your training and experience grow you can move to a higher pathway and only pay the difference.

What is yoga therapy?
A holistic, individualised use of yoga practices to support health — distinct from a general yoga class.
Yoga therapy is a system of healing in which a specific condition is approached holistically, adapting yoga’s tools — postures, breath, relaxation and meditation — to a person’s individual needs.
Where a general yoga class is one practice for a whole room, yoga therapy is tailored to the individual and most often works alongside non-communicable and lifestyle conditions, complementing conventional care rather than replacing it.
It rests on two pillars: the heritage of traditional practice and the growing body of peer-reviewed research that lets us apply it safely and effectively.
Commonly supported areas.
Stress & mental health
Anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress-related conditions.
Metabolic
Diabetes and other non-communicable diseases.
Musculoskeletal
Back, spine, neck and chronic pain support.
Life stages
Prenatal, postnatal and healthy ageing.
Guided by pioneers in the field.
AYTA is led by founders, an executive committee and an advisory board spanning medicine, education and yoga therapy.
The vision behind AYTA.
Running the association.
Expertise that keeps standards high.
Medical & research
A medical doctor and integrative-medicine voice guiding evidence and safety.
Education & curriculum
Curriculum experts shaping accreditation and CPD standards.
International relations

One standard, local presence.

Each chapter brings AYTA’s standards, credentials and conferences to its own country, in its own language, while staying part of one connected network.
Chapters recruit and support members, host local events, and represent AYTA to schools and health bodies in their region.
