In the yoga tradition, the 8 limbs are sometimes called Ashtanga Yoga. They are: 
The eight limbs are meant to help define the goals of yoga and the key characteristics of yoga.

The path of yoga involves a journey of 8 stages, from the lesser to the greater, towards the culmination of eight attitudes:

a)  non-harming - avoiding negative things (ahimsa)
b)  honesty - facing facts, speaking truth
c)  non-stealing - avoiding theft, material and mental
d)  celibacy - abstaining from illicit sex
e)  non-greed - avoiding unnecessary, overindulgence in material things
f)  non-anger - avoiding envy, jealousy, irritability, impurity
g)  non-greed - avoiding all defilement and dishonesty
h)  non-possessiveness - avoiding the spirit of possession
i)  non-sloth - avoiding laziness, lack of zeal

Those aren't correct. I meant the 8 limbs that include Asana and Pranayama
user
“Asana” and “Pranayama” are part of the path to meditation. The path of yoga is seen as an eight-fold path, which includes:
a)  asana
b)  pranayama
c)  pratyahara
d)  dharna
e)  dhyana
f)  dharana
g)  samadhi

Great! So Samadhi is the final stage?
user
Yes, it is the final stage of yoga and also the culmination of the 8 limbs. This final stage leads to Moksha (liberation) or kaivalya (ultimate freedom).

user
Nope!  Samadhi is only the second stage.  The eight-fold path starts with Yama (cultivating moral qualities), then Niyama (cultivating noble attitudes), then Asana (postures), then Pranayama (breathing techniques). 
Those four together are known as the first “limb”, or steps of the path, which include physical and mental exercises.

In the yoga tradition, there are other ways of considering the first limb (Yama-Niyama), but those are not as commonly taught.
