About
A Decade of Practice.
A Lifetime of Purpose.
My journey with yoga did not begin in a studio. It began within — through years of dedicated personal practice that quietly transformed not just my body, but my entire relationship with myself. What started as a personal pursuit of balance and inner peace grew into an undeniable calling: to guide others toward the same profound transformation.
A Decade of Growth
From 2 students
to 50+
I started with just 2 students. Today, Y-Yoga Sadhana serves a growing community of 50+ students across Singapore and online. What has remained constant throughout is the intention behind every session — to create a space where every individual feels seen, supported, and guided toward their highest potential.

Who I Am
Yamini Parsa Avatapalli, MSc.
I am a certified Yoga Instructor, Yoga Therapist, Wheel Yoga Specialist, Sound & Mantra Healing Practitioner, and Kundalini Yoga practitioner. I am the founder, teacher, and instructor at Y-Yoga Sadhana, Singapore.
My training is rooted at SVYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) — the world's foremost institution dedicated to yoga research and education, with its Singapore branch established in 2005. My approach is not intuition-based or trend-driven. It is science-backed, tradition-rooted, and deeply intentional.
Certifications
My Approach
Traditional depth for modern living.
I blend the depth of traditional yoga systems with the demands of modern living. Every session is designed to be balanced, accessible, and purposeful — whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner. Yoga, in my view, is not a fitness routine. It is a complete science of living.
My Journey
Highlights along the way
- Conducted yoga retreats island-wide across Singapore
- Delivered sessions for International Day of Yoga, National Day & Women's Day
- Designed specialised programmes for kids, senior citizens (chair yoga, pranayama, meditation) & corporate teams
- Recently expanded into corporate yoga — bringing wellness directly into the workplace
- Trusted community partner of the Ministry of Community, Culture & Youth (MCCY), Singapore
Philosophy
"Yoga is not about touching your toes.
It is about what you learn on the way down."
I believe yoga belongs to everyone — regardless of age, fitness level, background, or belief. My mission is to make authentic, therapeutic yoga accessible to every individual who walks through my door, joins my class online, or steps onto a mat for the very first time.
I also bring a unique perspective on Sattvic nutrition — the yogic approach to food — helping students understand that what we eat is inseparable from how we feel, think, and live.
When you practise with Y-Yoga Sadhana, you are not just joining a class. You are joining a community built on authenticity, care, and the timeless wisdom of yoga.
