The Sanskrit word “Hatha” relates to the use of force. Hatha Yoga refers to the use of yoga postures to strengthen and balance the body. In our hatha classes there will be minimal use of flow and more of a focus on the cultivation of steadiness and ease. These classes are a great option for those wanting to work on refining and/or holding postures.
Classes marked as “Flow” will move with the breath from pose to pose and have a more dynamic pace (also referred to as Vinyasa yoga). Flow classes are geared towards students looking for a stronger, more movement-based practice and are a good option for intermediate to advanced practitioners with some previous yoga experience.
All Levels classes embrace the range of levels, with modifications and opportunities to intensify or simplify as needed.
Level I classes at 8 Limbs are ongoing classes for the Beginning or Continuing student who wants to focus on learning the basics of yoga postures, breathing practices, and concepts. We recommend at least one Intro to Hatha Yoga to prepare you for these classes.
Level II classes are for the intermediate yoga student. They are to both solidify one's understanding and push one's limits physically, mentally, and energetically. Classes marked "Flow" will move with the breath from pose to pose and have a more dynamic pace (also known as Vinyasa Yoga).
Level II-III classes are for the strong intermediate to advanced yoga student, as advanced postures, breathing practices, concepts, and meditation are introduced. Please have at least 1 year of consistent and regular yoga practice before attending Level II-III classes. Classes marked "Flow" will move with the breath from pose to pose and have a more dynamic pace (also known as Vinyasa Yoga).
These classes offer a spiritually-oriented flow practice that help students connect with their own true divine nature.
