Intro to Yoga Series

SERIES PRICE: $120

At 8 Limbs, we’ve been guiding new students through the first steps of their yoga journey since 1996.

Our 4-Week Intro to Yoga Series is the perfect place for new students to build a strong foundation for what can become a lifelong practice that will support body, mind, and spirit! We select our most senior and experienced instructors to lead our Intro Series. Expect a warm, welcoming environment during these four sessions that increases confidence and resilience on and off the yoga mat.

What to expect in an 8 Limbs Intro Series:

  • A welcoming environment & non-competitive atmosphere

  • Fellow new students with different backgrounds and experiences

  • 4 weekly sessions, each building on the previous, that will include a variety of foundational standing, seated, prone (belly down), and reclined (back down) yoga poses

  • Modifications of common yoga poses

  • Basic breath awareness exercises

  • Build strength, improve balance, increase mobility, and foster a greater connection to your body & mind

  • Ample time for review and questions

 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!

Sometimes the hardest part of starting something new is walking through the door. We applaud you for signing up and are eager and ready to support you on your yoga journey.

 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.
