Welcome to 8th state
Let’s Shift Your State of Mind
There’s working out— and then there’s stepping into your 8th state.
We created this space to be more than your average yoga and fitness studio. At 8th State Hot Yoga + Fitness, movement has meaning, the heat has purpose, and connection—to yourself and your community—is part of the experience. Our name is inspired by the eighth limb of yoga, Samadhi: a state of bliss, enlightenment, and inner peace. And you’ll start to feel the shift after your first session.
Not your average workout. Not your average studio.
Every class is infrared heated. Every playlist is thoughtfully curated. And every detail—from your welcome at the front desk to that cold lavender towel at the end—is designed to make this your favorite hour of the day. With hot yoga, hot mat Pilates, and hot sculpt under one roof, it’s easy to find a class that fits your mood and your schedule.
And we don’t stop at the mat. We host events that bring people together, like sound baths, social walks, and pop-ups that keep you connected to your fitness community. 8th State is more than a place to move, it’s a place to belong.
Welcome to 8th State.

Hi, I’m Christina! Founder of 8th State and someone who turned a yoga passion into a soul-filling, full-time career.
I started practicing hot yoga in 2018 as a way to decompress after long days working in corporate HR. At first, it was just an escape. Then it became a lifeline. And eventually, a calling. In 2020, I flew to Peru to earn my 200-hour yoga teacher certification and started teaching online soon after. On January 1, 2021, we opened the doors to 8th State in Oconomowoc, and I led my very first in-person class.
Since then, I haven’t stopped learning. I’ve completed my 300-hour training, plus certifications in Yoga Sculpt, Yin, Children’s Yoga, Pranayama, and Sound Healing. I love teaching classes that blend strength and stillness — especially Yoga Sculpt, Vinyasa, and 26+2. But more than anything, I love seeing people walk out of class sweaty, smiling, and mentally 10lbs lighter.
This studio was built with heart, heat, and a whole lot of intention — and I’m so excited to share it with you.
We’re not your standard studio — and our community events are proof.
Our community shows up! Our events are some of the most-loved parts of the experience, bringing people together beyond class through events like Pilates & Pickle, Galentines Day, and pop-ups that deepen connection and keep things fun. These moments are where friendships form, energy builds, and the studio starts to feel like your place.
Because feeling good isn’t just about what happens on the mat — it’s about who you share it with.
