who we are
Ignite Strength + Purify Soul
Welcome to Yoga8, where our main focus is to help as many people as possible increase their quality of life. Through the practice of yoga, we aim to nourish and heal not just the body, but also the mind and spirit. At Yoga8, we are dedicated to supporting each individual based on their unique wants and needs. We understand that trying new things can be intimidating, but we assure you that you will be greeted with open arms and loving hearts in our judgment-free zone.
Yoga has incredible benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, aiding in healing from grief and trauma, and promoting strength and flexibility in the body. Many individuals find that before starting yoga, they couldn't touch their toes, and that's perfectly okay. This is precisely why yoga is so beneficial – the less mobile you are, the more you stand to gain from this amazing practice.
Join us at Yoga8, where we will love and support you on your journey to living the highest quality of life possible. Remember, you are loved and welcomed here with us.

Considerations
The "Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants" reminds practitioners that it takes a minimum of two to three sessions a week, for eight weeks to measure increases in strength and flexibility from a yoga routine. Yoga8 suggests a minimum of three sessions a week, although yoga should be practice daily. A little yoga every day is better than one long yoga session.
