The words Sabbath and sabbatical come from the Hebrew word saa, to rest. Codified in many religions and in university settings, taking a rest, or a pause, from the ordinary and obligatory, is something we all need, but not something we all take! I'm not talking about sleep here, I'm talking about an intentional slowing down.

8 Limbs is a wonderful community! I have enjoyed practicing at many of their locations for years, and always feel welcomed and supported. Their team of teachers shares high quality, kind instruction, and they offer great workshops with visiting teachers as well. Highly recommend visiting 8 Limbs for a well-grounded practice that incorporates yoga philosophy and beautiful movement.

There are many yoga studios, but this one stands out for the expertise of their instructors. The thoughtful form corrections will improve your practice in fascinating ways! Each instructor brings some new diversity, exposing us to the vast world of yoga.
The main Capitol Hill space is Sunny and bright, and near the best coffee shops and restaurants in town. You can buy anything you need for your practice in their shop.
The instructors really care. They are warm and friendly. 8 Limbs is a highlight of my week. Namaste!

Love the classes at 8 Limbs yoga. Amazing teachers that focus on the fundamentals of yoga and allow us to learn at our own pace. They also encourage us to experiment with postures that allows to enhance the overall learning experience. Highly recommend if you are someone who is looking to really add yoga as a meaningful tool to your general well being kit!

Great traditional Yoga studio. One of the few places offering non heated yoga. I love Nancy’s classes, she is the best teacher and her style is closest to the jivamukti yoga style which I used to practice when living in other cities. Challenging flow and amazing music!!!
I’ve been to classes of other teachers as wel, but even the advanced classes have not been challenging and dynamic enough even though when described as level 2-3.
Thus I only go to Nancy’s classes and that one I can definitely recommend 😊😊

I have always had a lovely class with this crew. The instructors are deeply mindful, thoughtful, and provide interesting and inventive ways in which to explore my body and mind with breath and movement. They are so kind, patient, funny, and unique. This is not one of those fitness classes that is purely cardio strength and brawn masquerading as yoga, yet they are as intense as you need them to be. A true gem in Seattle!

8 Limbs is a very welcoming, warm studio in the heart of Capitol Hill. They offer a range of classes and have a large staff so you can figure out which teachers/classes work best for you. I'm always nervous trying out a new studio but my experience at 8 Limbs has been great. Would recommend for all skill levels.

I am a total newbie to the world of yoga. Searching for a studio that would be a good fit for me was intimidating - how do I even know what a good studio is?? I happened on 8 limbs through my various searches and decided to check it out because it's close to my work. I feel incredibly grateful I found such a warm, welcoming, and supportive studio right off the bat! I've really enjoyed every one of my classes, trying different styles and all the instructors. I can't say enough good things about it!!

Great variety of teachers each offering unique takes and backgrounds of yoga. The classes are decently priced and they are always offering promotions. They have a 200 and 500 RYT program and always bring guest instructors to the studio. I would highly recommend if you're looking for a home yoga studio and is NOT hot yoga. They're located in the center of Capital Hill and very close to many other quirky and mom and pop type establishments.
