Here’s what’s coming at Eight Limbs

Classes:

Of course we’ll have classes! Vinyasa, Slow Flow & Restorative, Yin. All the hits! All of our classes are designed to be accessible to all levels of practice. No one should feel like they can’t keep up, or like they don’t know what’s going on. Our instructors will use clear, approachable cues, expert assists, and take the time to make sure every student feels safe and supported in every. single. class.

Yoga Nidra & Meditation:

There’s more to yoga than just asana (postures). It’s more than stretching, more than a work out. Heck, that’s why we called it Eight Limbs! In fact, the stuff we do in a modern, western yoga class isn’t even the first thing on the list (it’s the third!). Start exploring those other limbs through regular Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, and guided meditations. Your brain will thank you. Your significant other will thank you. Your nervous system will thank you.

Yoga Snacks:

Problem: a standard 60-minute lunch break isn’t long enough to travel to the studio, take a class, get home, change clothes, and get back to the office without HR breathing down your neck.

Solution: Yoga Snacks! A 30-minute lunch time class where you can pop in, stretch it out, and get home with more than enough time to spare! You’re welcome, HR.

Groups:

We get it: yoga can be intimidating. Maybe it's your first time, or maybe there’s something about you that makes your life experience different and a typical yoga class just feels…scary. First of all, we just want to tell you that that’s fine. It’s ok to be scared sometimes. Through fear and discomfort we find growth, we find the true yoga.

But still, you might feel a little more comfortable stepping into the studio if you can be around other people who make you feel safe and seen. For those times, we offer affinity groups. Yoga for Beginners, Yoga for Stiff Bodies, Women’s Group, Men’s Group, LGBTQ+, Differently Abled Bodies…whoever you are, whatever path brought you here, you belong and we have a space for you.

Workshops:

Dive in and nerd out. Deepen your practice through workshops and intensives led by experienced instructors from near and far. Expect topics to range from Handstands to Yoga Therapy. We’ll introduce different techniques, lineages, and modalities so we can bring all the aspects and expressions of yoga to Portland.

Non-Yoga & Yoga Adjacent Things:

Hey, it’s gonna be a beautiful space and you’re gonna want to hang out here. It’s designed to be an “arrive early/stay late” kind of experience and you should feel like you can linger, connect, and build community. We’ll offer more than just your typical yoga class and at Eight Limbs, you can expect everything from book clubs to dharma talks, lectures to…needle point! Who knows, the sky’s the limit! We’ll engage with our community, both inside the studio and outside of it, and we want this place to feel as dynamic and alive as the rest of Portland. These days we hear a lot about loneliness epidemics and polarization. Well, this is the antidote to that. Come here, connect, engage, breathe.
