Introduction: Why Yoga Therapy Matters Today
Singapore’s modern lifestyle looks impressive from the outside — long work hours, sitting for most of the day, late-night screens, stress, and irregular meals. Over time, this fast-paced rhythm shows up in the body as back pain, poor sleep, digestive discomfort, low mood, or simply persistent fatigue.
Here’s the thing: these issues rarely appear overnight. They build slowly, day by day.
That’s where Yoga Therapy steps in. Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy offers a personalised, clinically informed approach that blends movement, breathwork, Ayurveda, and mindfulness to target specific physical and emotional imbalances.
At Union Yoga Ayurveda, yoga therapy is backed by global accreditation, a doctor-led faculty, and years of clinical experience — making it one of Singapore’s most trusted centres for holistic healing.
What Makes Yoga Therapy Different?
Yoga therapy focuses on the individual, not the pose. The goal is to restore balance in the body and mind using:
- Gentle, medically safe movements
- Specialised breathing techniques
- Mindfulness and guided relaxation
- Ayurvedic lifestyle and dietary suggestions
- Postural correction and long-term functional improvement
Everything is customised — your routines, your homework, your recovery timeline.
- Yoga Therapy for Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common issues in Singapore due to prolonged sitting, work stress, and weakened core muscles.
How yoga therapy helps:
- Corrects posture and spinal alignment
- Relieves tightness in the neck, shoulders, and lower back
- Strengthens stabilising muscles
- Improves flexibility and circulation
- Reduces inflammation and tension through mindful breathing
Common therapeutic practices:
- Cat–Cow mobility
- Supported Bridge Pose
- Gentle spinal twists
- Pelvic tilts and lumbar strengthening
- Breath-led stretching to release deep tension
Most clients begin experiencing relief within 2–4 weeks with consistent practice.
- Yoga Therapy for Insomnia & Poor Sleep
When stress stays high, sleep suffers — and when sleep suffers, everything else spirals.
How yoga therapy helps:
- Reduces mental restlessness
- Lowers heart rate and cortisol levels
- Activates the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) system
- Establishes nighttime rituals that support deep, restorative sleep
Common therapeutic practices:
- Slow diaphragmatic breathing
- Forward bends to calm the mind
- Supported legs-up-the-wall (Viparita Karani)
- Yoga Nidra (guided deep relaxation)
- Nighttime Ayurveda routines
Many students report shorter sleep latency (time it takes to fall asleep) and deeper rest within 1–2 weeks.
- Yoga Therapy for Digestive Problems
Bloating, acidity, constipation, and IBS-like symptoms are increasingly common — especially with fast meals, spicy foods, and irregular timings.
How yoga therapy helps:
- Stimulates digestive fire (Agni)
- Improves gut motility
- Reduces stress-triggered digestive reactions
- Balances nervous system–gut communication
- Supports detoxification and nutrient absorption
Common therapeutic practices:
- Gentle abdominal twists
- Knees-to-chest pose (Pawanmuktasana)
- Agni-Sara and deep abdominal breathing
- Ayurveda-based dietary guidance
Combined with lifestyle changes, results can be significant and long-lasting.
- Yoga Therapy for Anxiety, Fatigue & Emotional Imbalance
Many clients come in saying, “I feel tired, stressed, or disconnected — but I don’t know why.”
How yoga therapy helps:
- Rebalances overactive stress pathways
- Improves emotional regulation
- Enhances clarity, stability, and resilience
- Strengthens mind–body awareness
Common therapeutic practices:
- Alternate-nostril breathing (Anulom Vilom)
- Grounding postures
- Meditation and mindfulness
- Supported restorative poses
- Ayurvedic sleep and nutrition guidelines
