About the studio
At Studio 8 in Huntington, West Virginia we teach a variety of movement modalities that improve your function in real life: bending, squatting, lifting, running, walking, and getting up off the floor.
We opened our doors to the community in 2012, as Huntington’s only yoga & wellness studio. Today we offer a variety of group yoga classes as well as mat Pilates, Tai Chi, group fitness, small-group Pilates Apparatus (Reformer, Wunda Chair, Tower, Arc), one-on-one wellness services, and on-site clinical Pilates. People tell us the same thing after their first visit: it just feels good to walk through the door.
Our approach is practical rather than trend-driven. We are not here to chase an aesthetic or an intensity level. We are here so you can keep doing the things your day asks of you, and keep up with the people you want to keep up with.
Beginners, adult athletes, and people rehabbing from injury or surgery all practice here. Everyone is welcome. We mean that plainly.
Bending, lifting, squatting, and getting up off the floor. We teach the movements your day already asks of you, done safely.
Classes stay small. Instructors learn how you move and what you are working on, so a group class still feels personal.
No perfect poses, no designer outfits, no intimidation. Props, modifications, and plain instruction are offered without ceremony.
The room is quiet, unhurried, and easy to walk into, whether it is your first class ever or your first in ten years.
Practice rooms with plenty of natural light, a Reformer and Pilates chair area kept to four clients at a time, and props for every body. Come early, take your time, and set up wherever you are comfortable.
We love to give tours of our three studio rooms and equipment – just ask one of our friendly instructors to show you around.

“We have a more practical approach to how you’re going to move in your everyday life. Can you bend over, squat, pick up a heavy box, and put it on the shelf in a safe way?”
