BREATH + STRETCH

Y8 - Healing

Beginner  /  45 mins  /  73° - 78°

Healing Yoga is a restorative style yoga focused on slow stretches and mindful breathing creating mental clarity and space in the body. This class is very low impact and requires very little stamina. EVERYONE should do this class at least once a week no matter if you are brand new to yoga or the fittest of the fittest. 

Y8 - Hot Stretch & Recover

Beginner  /  60 mins  /   95° - 105°

Hot Stretch & Release is a glorious stretch class in a heated room. It is the perfect class to help loosen up tight muscles and relax. This is a great class to help restore the body and connect with your breath. We recommend this class to everyone with limited flexibility and an achy body. Come relax and stretch with us.

Y8 - Yin

Beginner  /  60 mins  /   69° - 72°

Yin yoga works deep into the connective tissues to activate change at that deepest level. Yin is a fantastic way to increase or maintain flexibility as it focuses on the areas around the joints. You’ll immediately notice more open hips, buttery muscles and a major mind detox. In the long run, it will lubricate joints, release the fascia of the body, increase flexibility and positively affect your yang practice.

STRENGTH + STRETCH

Y8 - Hatha Basics (Gentle)

Beginner  /  60 mins  /  73° - 75°

Hatha Basics is a great class that introduces some of the main stream poses in the practice of yoga. Hatha Basis combines postures (asanas) with conscious breathing and focus to develop strength, flexibility and mental clarity. Students can expect to develop body awareness and explore varied postures in a mixed-level environment. This class is a nice practice for anyone new to yoga or experienced yogis who want to sharpen their alignment and skills. This class has a slow to moderate pace so you will learn the fundamental yoga asanas (poses) and principles that create a successful and effective yoga practice.

Y8 - Vinyasa Flow

Intermediate  /  60 mins  /  73° - 75°

A Vinyasa Flow features asanas (postures) that are linked with the breath with very little rest between postures. It also incorporates use of drishtis, Sanskrit terminology, binds, longer holds, inversions and arm balances. The majority of the class is focused on linking breath with movement, but advanced postures may be workshopped throughout. The Vinyasa class combines the internal benefits of yoga while getting a great workout designed to build your endurance, strength, flexibility and confidence as you flow through a series of asanas (poses). 

New yogis may enjoy taking a Hatha Basics or Hatha Flow class to become familiar with basic asanas (poses) and lingo. We will be moving fairly fast. Be prepared to sweat.

Y8 - Hatha Flow

All Levels  /  60 mins  /  73° - 75°

If Hatha Basics and Vinyasa Flow had a baby they would name it Hatha Flow. Hatha Flow is a combination between Hatha Basics and Vinyasa Flow. Hatha Flow will break down the postures and alignment of mainstream poses and then start to link the breath with movement. This class has more movement than the Hatha Basics class but is not as rigorous as a Vinyasa Flow class. This is a great class for all levels.

Y8 - Warm Vinyasa Flow

All Levels  /  60 mins  /  80° - 90°

All the perks of a standard Vinyasa Flow class just adding in a little extra heat. The warm classes are performed in 80 - 95 degree room temperature. The heat allows for the body to go deeper quicker and to create the sopping wet sweat. It is oh soooooo good. Bring a towel and hydrate before you come to class.

Y8 - Vin/Yin

All Levels  /  60 mins  /  72° - 78 °

 "Yoga8 has improved my lifestyle significantly! All my back problems are gone and I feel stronger than ever before. The Core30 and Kick-Ur-Asana classes are my favorite because they go beyond the basics and you don't leave the class without breaking a sweat. Yoga is truly the BEST medicine in the world. Kim, the owner, is such a caring and loving person, you will immediately feel a connection. Her passion for yoga is reflected in the way she teaches and inspires others! She sees every individual that enters her studio as a unique person and gives her all to ensure we understand the cues that will not only help us during the class, but be better for life. Her cues are stuck in my head and help me with my posture and back issues throughout the day. No matter if you are new to yoga or experienced, you will be treated amazing at this place. This is the BEST yoga place in Waco! Thank you for all you do, Kim!!! :)"

"It has been over a year since I started at yogaeight. This studio with all their instructors has been my favorite!! or better yet the best studio I have been in. They are encouraging, challenging, silly, happy, and very friendly. I like them so much that I even wake up at 5:00a.m. to be able to fit yoga into my schedule. If you have a busy schedule you will sure appreciate the options they offer. I have seen an overall improvement in my strength, mood, energy, and flexibility. If you are looking to make yoga your fitness practice come and check out Yoga8, I am sure you won't be disappointed."

"I finished my first week at Yoga8 and I absolutely love it! When I first met Kim, the owner, I was immediately drawn in by her energy as this genuine, caring, loving, peaceful person that I really wanted to be around more. I've taken a few different classes with Kim, Ann and Bonnie and they are all really nice and personable women. I had never done any yoga before Yoga8 and I'm officially addicted. I was looking for a change in my life, something positive and peaceful, something I could do that made me feel good inside and out and so far that's what Yoga8 is doing for me. I couldn't be more pleased!"
