Professional and Yoga Background

Kim Weeks stumbled into yoga with a hamstring injury from her training for the New York Marathon in 1994. At the time she was beginning her career on Wall Street in New York City. After spending much of the late 90’s living in Asia and Europe with her Wall Street job, Kim left the corporate world in in 2002 to start Boundless Yoga, a Washington, DC yoga studio.

Kim has studied with many of the world’s great yoga teachers, including Sri Swami Satchidananda, John Schumacher, Erich Schiffmann, JJ Gormley, Sarah Powers, Paul Grilley, and Ramanand Patel. She is drawn to these masters because of their interest in harnessing the layered physiology of asana to expand consciousness. Kim received her first training from 1994-2002 in the Integral Yoga tradition and has migrated since 2002 toward a multi-disciplinary, Iyengar-derived approach. She has practiced yoga for 15 years and taught for seven.

Kim, Boundless, and Healing

Classes at Boundless Yoga draw their potency from the Krishnamacharya tradition and focus on one student at a time. Kim has trained or studies closely with each teacher employed by Boundless.

In recent years, Kim has expanded her yoga practice to include not just public and private asana sessions for the general population. She focused also on athletes, populations healing musculo-skeletal injury, adults with special needs (cancer, heart and other cardio-pulmonary disease, ailments of the nervous system), children with special needs (Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Premature birth, rare genetic issues), and others.

Kim has trained advanced yoga students to become basic or intermediate yoga teachers since 2004. In 2008, she launched Boundless’s first Energy Program, in which she trains apprentices to become Energy Healers. In the  2009, she will begin Boundless’s Advanced Teacher Training (April 2009)  and the Boundless Yoga and Energy Therapy Program (September 2009).
