our story

It started in 2002 with the name “Boundless.” Kim Weeks, founder, had been thinking hard about a studio called Breathe Yoga, but then, one day, when she was least expecting it, the name Boundless came.

Boundless Yoga started with only a handful of girlfriends who would either have Kim over to their house on Willard Street, or who would stop by Kim’s apartment for the occasional yoga class.

Then Kim, a former Wall Street and Dot Com executive, decided she wasn’t interested in getting a marketing consultancy “off the ground,” while “teaching yoga on the side.” It was all or nothing. So she started thinking about Breathe Yoga, which within days turned into Boundless.

She opened Boundless in August 2002, and by that Fall Kim and the studio received their first press from Washingtonian magazine. The student base grew quickly, along with the growth in the yoga market, and by 2004 Boundless had expanded into two studios!

Today, Boundless continues to receive positive press, and the studio is a busy center of transformative yoga classes, private yoga and energy work, and therapeutic work with populations with special needs. Kim has continued along a healing path, starting first a Basic Teacher Training Program, and now, an Advanced Teacher Training Program as well as an Energy Apprenticeship Program. Kim’s Energy Therapy, Private Yoga sessions, and work with Children (and their Mothers) with Special Needs form a constellation of work around the basic work of the studio, which is to teach the highest quality hatha yoga possible.

At Boundless Yoga, we believe that transformation is not only possible; it happens every day. The body is a daily work in progress, and from our point of view, there is nothing more interesting than the reality of the body as living, breathing consciousness. We open ourselves to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves, and to transform into the experience of having a more integrated body, mind, and spirit.

the boundless philosophy

Yoga is about waking the body up through physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual means. Hatha yoga, an Indian tradition thousands of years old, is the yoga we teach at boundless.

You can have any kind of body type, be any age, be fit or unfit, have inuries, be flexible, or, for that matter, feel mostly inflexible. All bodies are different, and Yoga is as much about getting stronger as it is about becoming more flexible. Boundless Yoga takes a non-judgemental approach to the 21st century body exploring a 4,000-year old philosophy.

“ha” means “sun” and “tha” means “moon;” hatha describes a union of the two primary energies in the body: yang — or shiva, sun — and yin — or shakti, moon. This balance manifests through a steadiness and ease that takes shape, over time, through asana (poses), pranayama (breath control), and other cleansing practices.

There are many different forms of yoga. Hatha yoga uses tangible, physical body as a means for opening the mind/body connection.

As sedentary creatures, quite literally shaped by the post-industrial revolution, we use yoga to wake up all levels of the body. For now, yoga in the 21st century is about evolving through an earnest, dedicated, and joyful exploration of joining the body with mind and spirit. This is our approach at boundless.

Including and beyond the physical experience, yoga offers a profound solution to our bodies’ woes. From low back pain to thryoid disease, headaches to bad circulation, depression to herniated discs, yoga teaches the body to heal itself — and to wake up and experience the reality, the “realness,” of being alive. that is the boundless vision: to share today’s practice of yoga.
