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.

half pregnant

a few days ago i learned from a friend that an embryo’s heart starts beating at three weeks. though i’m not sure exactly (or scientifically) what happens from conception day up to day 21, i imagine that it’s a little like the intermission of the great 80’s game pacman, when they meet, and the two parts of the possibly-soon-to-be whole decide to merge. this newly merged entity then shimmies up to the uterine wall, attaches, with the wall forms the umbilical cord, and then, with a sigh, flips the switch to “on” and starts beating its heart.
my conclusion today, then, is that you actually can be half pregnant, for a short time.
