Ms. Viveka Kim

Joint Secretary

Viveka Yoga CEO - Vivka Kim, obtained a master’s degree in yogic science at Vivekanana University. Unlike yoga in India, she says, yoga in Korea separates spiritual side from practical side. Yoga in India is a philosophy that has had influence on health, medicine, education and art. It is an integrated training for spirit, soul and body as well as constructive social ethos.

Her notable experiences to mention a few are as below -

• APYTA Founding Member
• Director of Viveka Yoga (Korea)
• Director of Vivekananda Health Global (Korea)
• Director of Yoga Culture Town (Miryang City, Korea)
• Master of Science in Yoga, S-VYASA (Bangalore, India)

The primary spirit of yoga in India is called ‘banjjagosha’, the five layers that cover the soul of human body: bone, flesh, muscle, blood and hormone. The five sensory organs in our body detect outer stimulations from which desire arises and which leads to action to realizing the desire. In this respect, Kim says, yoga should better be approached scientifically and systematically.

Kim signed a business agreement with Miryang City in 2017 to promote yoga tour and yoga therapy in the region. As part of this effort, Kim and the city held Miryang Arirang International Virtual Yoga Conference at Hotel Arina Miryang from October 31 to November 1.
