 Upon completing Intro to Yoga, students will be prepared to attend a variety of our regularly scheduled weekly classes (8 Limbs staff will be available to help you select the best classes to meet your needs & goals). Some students may also prefer to repeat Intro to Yoga and are very welcome to do so!

 FAQs

  • To each yoga class, bring with you a yoga mat, an open mind, and a water bottle. We have filtered water available but do not offer cups in an effort to reduce waste.

    Loaner mats are available, but we encourage personal mat usage as this is the most hygienic practice. All other yoga props needed for class are provided free of charge. Yoga mats and other props and clothing are available for sale at all three 8 Limbs Yoga Centers.

  • We prefer that students wear fitted clothing that enables your knee joints to be visible, and require that all students wear a top or shirt to class to support the learning environment in our studios. We specifically recommend: footless tights and a t-shirt, footless tights and an athletic top, or shorts and a t-shirt. Many students wear an outer layer like a long-sleeve t-shirt and socks for the first and last few minutes of class to keep warm and comfortable. Come prepared to practice with bare feet. The main thing is that you feel comfortable in the clothing!

  • There is no typical 8 Limbs class, but every class will challenge and inspire you. While every teacher has her or his own method, classes begin with the recitation of OM, warm-up stretches and an awareness of the breath (pranayama). Teachers lead the class through a series of postures (asanas), according to the class level. Asanas are usually presented with more- and less-challenging options so that everyone can be comfortable. Some classes use props like straps and cork blocks to help establish an asana. Class ends with several minutes of savasana, also called “corpse pose,” and the recitation of OM. Everyone leaves 8 Limbs classes feeling more alive, present, and healthy than when they came in.

  • Yoga is a restorative practice and can often help the body to recover. Be sure to tell your teacher at the start of class about your injury and she/he can be sure that you get the most benefit for your recovery. An injury can be a great learning experience. Make sure to take responsibility for your body and listen when it asks you to take a break or stop.
