The word yoga is a Sanskrit word that, when translated to English, means ‘union’. E8YOGA believes that the ultimate goal of a yoga class is to rejoin that which we have been separated from. Wholeness is an individual’s natural state of being, but modern life can often cause disharmony and disconnect. Each yoga class at E8YOGA first focuses on diverting energy toward acceptance and surrender so that practitioners may leave the studio space feeling whole once again.
The western practice of yoga often underscores the physical elements of the practice, like holding poses for many counts, incorporating cardio, or turning up the heat to facilitate excess sweat.
