Yuphoria Yoga was established by Priscilla Lam, as a medium to spread awareness of yoga. The aim of Yuphoria Yoga is to spread the positive effects of yoga to as many of those who seek it on the physical level, but also to fill the underemphasised gap of the mental and philosophical sides of yoga teachings which are often not given any attention at many yoga studios. Priscilla began teaching yoga classes at Marina Bay in Singapore in 2010, then at Pure Yoga in Hong Kong, and is now teaching at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong - the leading Ashtanga yoga studio in Hong Kong, renown for having the largest number of authorised and registered Ashtanga yoga instructors in the city.

The etymology of "Yuphoria" is derived from the union of Priscilla's middle name "Yu" and the word "euphoria" which means a feeling of wellbeing and elation, underscoring what Yuphoria Yoga hopes to bring through the practise and teachings of yoga.
