AboutDikla Kafka

Lead Faculty – Yoga Philosophy + Intelligent Sequencing + Teaching Methodology

Dikla Kafka is a lifelong seeker of depth and discipline. She first encountered yoga in her late 20s, following years of martial arts training. Drawn to the inner landscapes revealed through breath, subtle body work, and meditative focus, she immersed herself in the traditions of Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Sivananda yoga in her native Tel Aviv.

Based in Seattle for the past 15 years, Dikla is co-owner of Viveka Yoga School and has been training and mentoring new yoga teachers since 2014. Her teaching style weaves precise alignment with philosophical inquiry, and she is known for her ability to translate ancient ideas into relevant, embodied wisdom.

Dikla is also a Jewish philosophy educator and violinist, and is currently completing her third master’s degree - this one in theology. She brings a rich tapestry of insight from her academic and spiritual studies into her yoga philosophy modules, inviting students to explore yoga as a living, evolving dialogue between the body, the breath, and the soul.
