about Me (kim weeks)

Yoga and mindfulness first found me while I was in college and studying in Berlin. They followed me to my stressful job on Wall Street where I worked right after college. I was immediately drawn to yoga—and especially to deep relaxation—as a counterbalance to the pace and stress of a high-performance life and career.

In the wake of the devastation from September 11, having just moved from working at The World Financial Center to the Dulles Corridor in Washington, I decided to pause my corporate career to take the first of what ultimately would be many yoga teacher trainings. I knew I wanted to teach and thought I would work by day and teach by night. After my first class, at 6:30 am at the Washington, D.C. JCC, however, I knew it was all or nothing.

I founded Boundless Yoga Studio in Washington and ran it from 2002-2014 for thousands of clients, students, and teachers. The business was twice on the shortlist of DC’s Best Studios by the Washington City Paper’s readers, and I was voted DC’s Best Yoga Teacher three times. For two years, I was a weekly yoga expert with NBC4’s The Midday Show. In 2015, I began an apprenticeship with acclaimed Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher John Schumacher and, in 2018, became a Level 1 Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher. I was featured in PBS’s Religion and Ethics Newsweekly’s series on the NONEs and have contributed to The Washington Post, Yoga Journal, and Om Magazine. I can’t stop studying or trying to find outlets for sharing the ease, steadiness, and positive change that yoga has afforded me.

Since 2019, I have worked closely with Dr. Sat Bir S. Khalsa, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Through the international yoga registry body Yoga Alliance, we created nearly 100 professionally produced videos and live/recorded webinars, and I wrote and continue to write on the researched effects of mindfulness and yoga on countless aspects of the body’s health and disease.

In October 2022, I launched a podcast that feels like the culmination of 20+ years of teaching, training, running businesses, and consulting in the yoga and mindfulness industry. It’s called The Weeks Well. I believe that practice is the secret to living your best life, and I’m bringing to the podcast incredibly inspiring, deep-thinking, and passionate people who have spent their lives practicing being well in their bodies, hearts, and minds. Have a listen, share it, review it, and, most of all, let me know what you think about it!

As for the consulting I do with organizations around the world, my combination of Wall Street experience and work at all levels of the mindfulness and yoga industry make me uniquely qualified to consult and train organizations and individuals on mindfulness strategies that solve real workplace problems. The mindfulness sessions I offer fundamentally provide both learning and practicing of clear and actionable instruction in posture, breath, thinking, communication, and relationships consistently and over the long term.

I look forward to connecting with you and to learning how my work in Yoga Lineages, Fostering Transformation, and The Weeks Well can help you be your best self!
