IAIT Appoints Lim Eun-joo of Busan ¡°Prana Yoga¡± as Chair of the Certification Committee
Oversees the establishment and operation of IAIT certification programs¡¦ ¡°Standardizing professionalism through field-reproducible qualifications¡±
The International Association of Integrative Therapy (IAIT) has appointed Lim Eun-joo, Director of Busan-based ¡°Lim Eun-joo Prana Yoga,¡± as Chair of the Certification Committee, a key position responsible for supporting the launch and overseeing the overall operation of the association¡¯s certification programs. The Chair of the Certification Committee plays a central role in managing the full scope of IAIT¡¯s qualifications across fields—ranging from program approval procedures and curriculum-design support to the refinement of operational standards, education quality control, and the review of assessment and examination systems. In line with IAIT¡¯s push to strengthen standardization in evidence-based integrative therapy, the appointment is widely interpreted as a move to establish a practical control tower for designing and managing a robust certification framework.
According to reporting, IAIT has made it clear that it intends to address, at the organizational level, a recurring issue in the therapy field over recent years: ¡°There are excellent methods, but without standards; and without standards, trust cannot accumulate.¡± IAIT¡¯s competitiveness, the association emphasizes, does not come from one-off events or publicity centered on celebrity instructors. Rather, it is built on an outcome-accumulating system in which education, research, clinical practice, content production, publishing, and media work are structurally connected.
Lim Eun-joo, the newly appointed Chair, operates ¡°Lim Eun-joo Prana Yoga¡± in Busan and is known as a field-based leader who has consistently delivered instruction and education grounded in breathwork and pranayama. Notably, she also serves as Vice President and Yeongnam Regional President of the Korea Therapy Yoga Association (KTYA). This dual role is viewed as evidence of her proven experience in operating regional education networks in practice. Observers note that her capacity to understand both association governance and the language of real-world training sites likely influenced IAIT¡¯s decision.
President Han Se-young explained, ¡°The core of certification is not simply launching a program. The key is designing a system so that, even after completion, practitioners can teach, consult, and apply methods in the field using the same standards.¡± He added, ¡°Because Director Lim has experience in both education and operations at the regional level, she is well positioned to organize IAIT¡¯s qualifications into a system that actually functions in the field.¡± For a Certification Committee structure to work effectively, IAIT notes, multiple elements must be integrated into a single framework: standardized curricula (goals–content–evaluation), instructor operating standards (eligibility–roles–scope of instruction), completion and examination protocols (evaluation indicators–reassessment–ethics standards), and full documentation (textbooks, manuals, operating guidelines). IAIT plans to prioritize this practical framework under Lim¡¯s leadership and establish a consistent flow of ¡°program launch support–operations management–performance review,¡± preventing uncontrolled proliferation of certification programs within the association.
The appointment is also seen as a signal that IAIT will more tightly connect ¡°academics¡± and ¡°certification.¡± In the therapy industry, qualifications serve as both the entry threshold and a benchmark of trust. However, if standards are loose, certifications can become a double-edged sword that undermines credibility across the sector. IAIT stated that it will not allow certification to remain merely ¡°a training course,¡± but will structure it to connect to research, academic presentations, and documented content—expanding into a model that accumulates evidence of professionalism.
With Lim Eun-joo¡¯s appointment, IAIT believes it can link its key operational pillars more closely—governance (committees), academics (research), education (regular programs), certification (standards), and media (documentation). Industry observers commonly note that ¡°when a leader who truly understands the field takes charge of certification standards, training quality improves—and higher quality ultimately raises the credibility of the qualification itself.¡± Attention is now turning to how far IAIT will concretely define and implement ¡°standards for integrative therapy¡± through its Certification Committee system, and what measurable outcomes its 2026 operations will produce.
