I highly recommend the Vinyasa Flow 2 class! Great class that keeps you moving (reminds me a lot of Power Hot Yoga). And we even did handstands in class. The front desk staff are super friendly & helpful, as are the instructors. There are two studios, and even a little yoga boutique. Loads of free parking in the neighborhood. And they offer many classes per day, 7 days a week. Great newsletter! read more

The yoga class leaders are different but each person takes a deep interest in those in class. Classes are a combination of physical strengthening, stretching and flexibility as well as breathing techniques. Some have spiritual readings that offer wisdom and encouragement before or after class. Each person is treated as an individual and there is no pressure to be perfect. It was the perfect way to stay in shape when confined due to Covid. An hour zoom class made my day. The monthly fees are well worth the benefits. read more

Please note, I'm not big into yoga. I want to be. But I just don't have the patience for it. Vinyasa has been recommended to me, as I hear it's more dynamic in movement and can keep my tiny pea-brain occupied. I am fortunate to know Dawn Jansen; she is an extraordinary yoga instructor and when I heard about her handstand yoga class, I had to give it a try. 8 Limbs is right on Phinney and is easy to find. Lots of street parking, although I parked across the street and had to play human Frogger in order to get across the street. Once inside, I signed in and took off my shoes and entered the studio. It was much bigger than I thought it would be! They had mats that you could use there, which was good since I had accidentally left mine in the car and I feared that I wouldn't be able to jump on enough logs to Frogger my way back and forth again. This particular class was 1 hr and 45min, but I had to leave a little early to be someplace else. $40 was a great deal! As I've said, I'm not much into yoga. I would find myself in a sideways-lifting-leg-downward-dog position and look at everybody else to see if I was even close to doing it right. It seemed like I never was, even with the excellent instruction. I'm definitely down to try it again though! read more

I had a chance finally to come here again after their opening gala 2 winters ago. As always, with 8 Limbs yoga studios the studio is nice and spacious, clean, very friendly with knowledgeable front desk staff. They call you back if you leave a message!! There is a little gift/supply shop in front. They have many mats and props which you may use. i chose to take a class from Dawn, whom I had taken from at another studio. Geesch! It does not have to be hot yoga to sweat doing yoga! Of course, it is up to the practitioner- resting is always an option, as valuable as going for it hard! Dawn is sweet and humble, yet so very experienced and knowledgeable. Her words set you up and allow you to flow in your own ability. Her attention to detail as well as breath instruction is so good and brings you to an awarenes sof what is important. *** NOTE*** Brent's 630 AM classes include 10 minuts of meditation at the beginning. ** Seattle is a mecca for so much good yoga.. let's get going! read more

I've tried several Level 1 classes at 8 Limbs over the past two months and I really enjoy all of the instructors. I'm also doing the yoga 2 intro series. The classes vary a lot depending on the instructor or what students ask to focus on that particular day. Nancy's classes are my favorite so far. She's warm and personable and remembers your name. She's gentle but also pushes you in just the right way. I've learned a ton in her classes. I came back to yoga after a 15-year hiatus and it's been deeply satisfying on so many levels. read more

I'm a long-time member of this studio. I have always found 8 Limbs, the instructors & their methods to be focused on individual needs and how yoga offers a holistic approach to health & wellness. They incorporate deeper and more relevant facets of yoga. Not just reducing it to a gym work-out or an exercise in vanity. read more

I loved 8 Limbs in Capitol Hill, and look forward to more time at Phinney. Now that's what I'm talking about. I went to 8 Limbs for their All Levels Flow this morning which offered childcare. The childcare was provided in the second yoga studio, and toys and space were freely available. The cost was reasonable at $5. My class was pretty basic, but offered varying levels of challenge. I liked that the room was warm, but not hot. The teacher/instructor was not as good as some at describing the moves, but had a good humor about her which was appreciated. It was a small sized class, with plenty of room to stretch out without flinging your arm or sweat on someone else. There was also enough wall space for us to practice inversions. The woo-factor was very minimal, which I appreciate. I will be coming here again. I loved the community and the studio in Capitol Hill, and I miss going there, however, I look forward to getting to know the Phinney studio, which is closer to my house. read more

"Some body's are just not made for yoga." Was feedback I got from instructor in my first class here. Very humiliating as she announced this in front of everyone and really crushed my confidence in continuing yoga. read more

This fairly new 8 limbs yoga studio is pretty nice. It has two rooms and lots of nice new yoga equipment. The atmosphere is pretty great and the teachers know thier yoga. Its not too crowded like some studios but this may change as it becomes more popular as it is still pretty new and developing a following. I find it odd there is no changing room and only one bathroom though so at times not having time to change does keep me from making it to yoga. I plan to check out yoga for athletes in the near future, sounds like an interesting class. Perhaps a changing room has been added since my last visit, which will definetely make this a worthwhile studio. read more

I have been very impressed with this studio overall. The class times are perfect for working people with any schedule (early morning, early evening and late evening classes M-F). I have tried most of the evening and weekend classes and my favorite is the yoga for athletes; really great class! I would like to see them have more variation between the classes (not enough of a difference between level 1 and level 3 classes), but that is my only complaint... and it is minor. The studio is beautiful, go check it out! read more

I come here when the wedgewood location times don't work for my schedule. Really great studio space and amazing teachers! Also the front desk gal is very sweet. read more

MJ Daniels offers the most lovely, music-filled, heart-centered yoga I have every done in community. Go visit her on Monday mornings. You will be so happy you did. read more

An oasis on the ridge. I was excited when I heard that 8 Limbs was opening a new studio in my neighborhood since many of my favorite teachers at other studios have come from their program. This new studio exceeds all my expectations. Excellent teachers who bring their unique spirit to each class. Convenient location and class times. A beautiful studio that is clean and well cared for. The warmth of the people and space have deepened my practice and enjoyment of yoga. Namaste. read more

I have been to the Phinney 8 Limbs studio for yoga practice off and on for the last couple of years but it has been my pregnancy which has kept me going more consistently over the last several months with their prenatal yoga class. I have been actually look forward to Monday evenings: rolling out my yoga mat, sharing the space with other women who are going through similar challenging yet rewarding experiences of pregnancy, stretching out my sometimes tired/ sometimes achy/ sometimes wonderfully relaxed body, and rediscovering what your body can and cannot do each and every week as your body changes. The instructor, Tami, is wonderfully supportive and creates a safe space for you to listen to your body, respect your body, and just BE. Tonight was my last class before my due date. It's bitter sweet for me but I know I'll be using some of the poses I learned in class during labor! read more

I came back to yoga after a 5 year hiatus this summer and I may be a bit of an addict at this point. 8 Limbs is great, and since they have 4 studios, there's no shortage of classes and times to choose from. The Phinney studio is closest to my house, but I've also been known to shoot over to Wedgwood once a week. They do an awesome two-month unlimited deal for first time members that's just over 100 bones, which means even if you only go once a week, each class is still cheaper than a drop in. I would recommend doing the intro deal and sampling as many different classes as possible. All the teachers are exceptional, with varied styles and areas of focus, so figure out what you like. BUT, I would totally encourage everyone to try at least a few classes with Dawn (her Tuesday morning class is my absolute fave). Her ability to breakdown each pose and really make you understand the mechanics of what you're doing is INCREDIBLY helpful, and will give you a deeper understanding that you can take with you to other, more flow-based classes. read more

I've been going to 8 Limbs for the past 5 years and love it here. I think the key is finding the instructors that resonate with you. I personally love MJ and Karen's classes the best. They both put special efforts in each and every one of their classes and switch it up every time, so it's never the same poses over and over again. I've tried a few other yoga studios in Seattle and this one by far the best. Love it! read more

8 limbs has been a wonderful place to practice yoga and improve my health. The teachers are very well versed in the world of yoga, and have gone out of their way to learn about my particular limitations, as well as celebrate my strengths as a yogi. I plan to start their teacher training in the fall, and look forward to diving deeper into the practice of yoga! read more

I have attended classes both at the Phinney Ridge and Capital Hill locations. The Phinney Ridge studio is right next to my new place and has become my home studio. These classes are the kind you look forward to. My work schedule is very busy and I really have my best days when I start with one of their classes. I have liked all the teachers at the classes I have attended on Phinney Ridge, but some of my favorite teachers are Lauren Kite, Megan Costello, Erin Kaufman, Jay Holby, and Dawn Jansen. Brent Morton also offers a Mindfulness Meditation Seminar that is just awesome. Really can't recommend this studio enough. It is bright, clean, and a wonderful place to practice. read more

Yay for 8 Limbs! I took the intro series here, and I cannot say enough good things. I've taken several beginning yoga classes throughout the years, but still felt like I wasn't "getting" it. The intro series not only gave me excellent introductory knowledge about yoga, it ignited a true fire in me for the practice and I've been able to stick with it. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

mm. I have only to say that i love this joint. lotsa classes and fantastic staff. I am into year two of membership and give it big thumbs up. read more

8 Limbs Yoga in Phinney Ridge is a beautiful space. I've been trying to find another yoga studio since so many of my former studios have closed. The room is spacious, and have enjoyed all of the classes here to-date. I have been looking for teachers with a great yoga philosophy and not just about the poses. The only con is that it's harder to get to this studio with only one bus line (5 bus) that stops here. read more

Took an intro series here, Leisha is a really positive, knowledgeable instructor that puts people at ease. I definitely plan on heading back for drop-in classes. read more

I had an unpleasant experience when I unexpectedly received an email from 8 Limbs Phinney office in Jan 2016 that they had no record of payment for 3 classes I attended, and requested payment for them. I explained that I used guest passes received by my wife from her two annual memberships, which I would hand over to the desk person. I requested them to verify with the desk staff. Two subsequent emails from them again insisted that they have no record of the guest passes handed in by me, and that I should purchase class card for missing payments. Once again I asked if they had actually verified with the desk person - which they finally did after exchanges of six emails - and found that they had made an error in accounting for guest passes, and the passes I handed in were not properly assigned to my account. In that email admitting their error, they said sorry (but offered no further amends). This experience (and an another one in 2013), and the effort to rectify it, has left an unpleasant feeling after dealings with their office operations and accounting. On the other hand, they have excellent yoga teachers, and my experience on the mat has been nothing but the best. I will continue going there but will be cautious in accounting for payments and sign ups. Ken S. Update 3/9/2016: I was contacted by the owner, who viewed this incident as an opportunity to improve their systems and approach, and offered free classes. This demonstrates good stewardship of the business. I appreciate the response, and change my rating to properly reflect what are truly their strengths - great and diverse teachers, and very pleasant, well cared for space to practice yoga. Ken. read more

I've been taking classes at 8 Limbs for quite some time now and love all their different instructors and the variety of classes. No matter which location you go to, the studios are clean and beautiful, and the front desk staff is always helpful. Lasara Jarvis and her classes are amazing! In fact, I followed her to 8 Limbs from a different studio and will go out of my way to make it to one of her classes each week. Her classes are non-competitive and less serious - which is exactly what I need after a long day at work. Lasara is very knowledgeable and you can tell that she loves her work. She stays true to herself and encourages students to do the same - not just on the mat but also out there in real life. Taking classes at 8 limbs has benefited my life on so many levels, and I'm grateful to be a part of their amazing community. Go try them out. You won't regret it! read more

This is a wonderful yoga studio. I love the classes offered, the teachers and the whole vibe is really wonderful.

I'm really happy with my experiences at 8 limbs. I go to classes both at Phinney Ridge and Wedgwood. The staff are helpful and professional, the studios are spacious, clean and comfortable. I've had great experiences with the two teachers I take classes with - Lasara and Megan Sloan. Lasara's classes are hands down my favorite - she is an excellent teacher whose style is so welcoming and encouraging. She's great at offering modifications and truly makes students feel like yoga is for *everyone*, not just people who look like they belong in a yoga calendar. She's fun and irreverent, and encourages us not to take ourselves too seriously and to really be in the practice and not our own b.s. I took one prenatal class and am currently taking postnatal classes with Megan. She's so warm and calming and does a great job taking care of her students - no matter what's going on in their bodies or with their babies! Her classes are my favorite thing to do with my little guy these days. :) read more

I recently started going to yoga again after many years away and try to get in at last once a week for a Level 1 class. I've enjoyed them all thus far - and appreciate that there are Level 1 classes available on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. I think that if there were a Level 1 class in the early weekday morning (non-flow) - I might be able to get out of bed and start my day off right. Just not interested in the flow classes given some chronic pain. Overall I have loved 8 Limbs and will keep going back! read more

The best only seems to get better. They are having a summer special 3 months unlimited for two hundred thirty dollars and it is not just for new students but for current practitioners as well! read more
