Kim Weeks / Owner, Instructor
kim weeks has been devoted to yoga since 1994, stumbling into it with a hamstring injury she sustained while training for the new york marathon. encouraged by a co-worker at JPMorgan and her sister in Santa Cruz, she looked up yoga in the yellow pages and chose Integral Yoga® because it sounded like an "integrated" approach to a word she wanted to know more about. during the deep relaxation period of her first class, she felt changed.
after spending much of the late 90's in asia and europe with her wall street job, kim left the corporate world in in 2002 to start boundless yoga, a washington, dc-based yoga studio that honors all forms of yoga. classes at boundless draw specifically on the krishnamachariya tradition and focus on one student at a time. kim believes that yoga is evolving rapidly as we enter the 21st century full-swing--and that it is a form of solace and inspiration in stressful times.
kim is a trained Integral Yoga teacher and has continued extensive study with jj gormley, erich schiffmann, rodney yee, sarah powers, jinsung, and, most recently, paul grilley and ramanand patel. in 2004 she lived in oakland, california to take part in rodney's advanced studies program at piedmont yoga studio.
kim focuses on the body as a constantly changing object in time and space, encouraging her asana students to experience delight and forgiveness as they observe their bodies, with simultaneous discrimination and non-judgment, according to the breath's direction. she also has a private energy practice and believes deeply in the innate healing capacity of the body, which she seeks to honor with each client.

and we’re happy to post this testimonial after the Washington Post Express article yesterday on “Downward Dudes!” i recommend reading this thoughtful, interesting account of men doing yoga (mostly at our studio!). Following are some thoughts from a male boundless student.
“I’ve tried a variety of yoga studios, in several cities and several countries, during my ongoing struggle to develop a better relationship with my somewhat inflexible, desk-bound, middle-aged male body. Boundless Yoga has been easily the best of these. What I particularly appreciate is the mindfulness BY’s instructors model for us; the adjustments that they have helped me perform — with none of the dismissive “but you’re doing it wrong!!” attitude that I have encountered elsewhere — have done not just my body but also my mind a world of good. Indeed, ‘a world of good’ would be a nice way of describing everything that BY represents.”

I love the yoga for guys class. But I’m also astounded that men don’t see the awesome potential of attending a regular class– it’s all chicks!! And many chicks, more than anything else, love themselves some sensitive, yoga-practicing men.
