8 Limbs is committed to being a supportive and welcoming place to learn and grow through the mind-body practices of yoga.
We root our commitment in the 8 limbs of yoga, precepts for living that originated in South Asia and Northern Africa, and honor the lineage of teachers that have informed us as practitioners of yoga in the West. We pledge to practice all 8 limbs of yoga within our business and ourselves.
The 8 limbs of yoga are yama (attitudes toward environment), niyama (attitudes toward self), asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing practices), pratyahara (sensory restraint), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (complete integration).
