Voted two years in a row in 2010 and 2011 as one of DC’s Best Yoga Teachers by the Washington City Paper readers, Kim teaches a yoga class that will energize and align you at the same time. Kim stumbled into yoga with a hamstring injury from marathon training in 1994. At the time she was beginning her career on Wall Street in New York City. After spending the late 90′s living in Asia and Europe, Kim left the corporate world in 2002 to start Boundless Yoga.

Kim has studied with Sri Swami Satchidananda, John Schumacher, Erich Schiffmann, JJ Gormley, Sarah Powers, Paul Grilley, and Ramanand Patel. She is drawn to these yoga masters because of their ability to address the body’s inherent ability to transform. Kim first studied in the Integral Yoga tradition and since 2002 has migrated toward an Iyengar-derived approach. She has practiced yoga for 17 years and taught for 10.

Healing and Training

Kim’s private practice includes athletes, populations healing musculo-skeletal injury, adults with special needs (cancer, heart and other cardio-pulmonary disease, ailments of the nervous system), and children with special needs.

Kim has trained advanced yoga students to become basic or intermediate yoga teachers since 2004. In 2008, she launched Boundless’s first Energy Apprenticeship Program, in which she trains apprentices to become Energy Healers. In 2009, she started Boundless’s RYT-500 Advanced Studies Program, and in 2010, the Boundless Yoga Therapy Program. That year, Boundless also started its one-of-a-kind Advanced Studies Apprenticeship Program.

Press

The Washington Post, New York Times, Washingtonian magazine, and Yoga Journal have all covered Kim’s exit from the corporate world to become a a socially conscious entrepreneur and local business owner.  In 2010, she was voted Best Teacher in the Washington City Paper’s “Best Of Readers Poll,” and The Washington Examiner and daytime news show, “Let’s Talk Live” highlighted Kim’s expertise.

Boundless Yoga has partnered with Co-Op America’s Green Festival, Easter Seals’ Child Development Center, and Smith Farm Center for Healing and the Arts, and runs a green business powered by wind energy. Until 2010, Kim was Co-Chair of the local business organization, Think Local First with Busboys and Poets’ Founder Andy Shallal. Now she is the head of Marketing for the organization.
