# 8-Limb Power Yoga Method
## A *Complete* System of Practice
[Explore The Trainings](https://www.burningwheelyoga.com/classes-pricing)
[View The Class Schedule](https://www.burningwheelyoga.com/class-schedule)
The 8-Limb Power Yoga method is a disciplined system of yoga training built on 8-Limb Power Yoga, designed to cultivate strength, clarity, resilience, and depth in modern life. Rather than treating yoga as casual wellness or exercise alone, the method trains the full human system—*body, breath, nervous system, attention, emotional capacity, and ethical action.*
## The Origin of the Burning Wheel Method
Burning Wheel was founded on a simple conviction: *most modern yoga training is incomplete.*
For years, [Jordan Lashley](https://www.burningwheelyoga.com/jordan-lashley), founder of Burning Wheel, immersed himself in the world of power yoga. The physical intensity was undeniable. The discipline was real, but something essential was missing.
Strength without philosophy. Movement without deeper integration. A system built for fitness, but not for the full demands of a human life.
Rather than settle for a partial practice, he kept studying. Over nearly two decades, Jordan trained across multiple traditions, including Baptiste, Jivamukti, Yin Yoga, and classical yoga philosophy.
What emerged from that search was not another hybrid class style, but a **fully integrated training system for [modern householders](https://www.burningwheelyoga.com/yoga-insights-blog-burning-wheel-yoga-school/householder-yoga-is-the-hardest-yoga).**
## The Development of 8-Limb Power Yoga
Years of teaching and study revealed a clear insight: the physical discipline of power yoga becomes far more powerful when supported by the full framework of classical yoga.
This realization led to the development of 8-Limb Power Yoga, a method that reconnects modern physical training with the system described in the Yoga Sutras.
Instead of isolating yoga as exercise, the practice integrates movement, breath, meditation, philosophy, and ethical discipline.

### Experience the Method Yourself
Explore the schedule and step into a structured practice designed to build strength, clarity, and resilience.
[View the Schedule](https://www.burningwheelyoga.com/class-schedule)
## What We Train
These elements work together. When trained in isolation, they remain limited. When trained together, they create a practice that can support the full complexity of human life.
- The Body — strength, mobility, alignment, and durability
- The Breath — regulation of energy and nervous system stability
- The Nervous System — the capacity to stay steady under stress
- **Attention** — the ability to direct and sustain focus
- **Emotional Capacity** — resilience in discomfort & challenge
- **Ethical Action** — how the practice expresses itself in daily life

## What to Expect During a Burning Wheel Training Session
Each class follows a structured progression designed to train both the body and the mind.
- **Arrival and Intention:** Students arrive, settle their attention, and prepare for practice.
- **Breath Regulation:** Breath patterns are introduced early and maintained throughout the class.
- **Physical Intensity:** Heated power yoga sequences build strength, endurance, and mobility.
- **Mental Focus:** Students are guided to maintain attention on breath, alignment, and internal awareness.
- **Stillness and Reflection:** Classes often close with meditation or quiet integration.
This structure allows students to train intensely while remaining grounded, safe, and attentive.

## Deepen Your Practice with Private Training
Private sessions offer focused guidance within the Burning Wheel Method. Work one-on-one with an instructor to refine alignment, build strength in foundational postures, regulate breath, and deepen your understanding of the practice. Sessions can also support injury recovery, meditation and breathwork, or building confidence before entering group classes.
Train privately with a Burning Wheel instructor and deepen your experience of the method.
