You have a small Error;
>It's about eight limbs (hatha)
"Hatha" does not mean eight limbs. The correct phrase is "Ashta(eight) Anga(limbs)" in Sanskrit.

Thanks, you're probably right. It's been a while i brushed up on Sanskrit!
The two words are conjoined as "Ashtha + Anga = Ashtanga" and thus you have "Ashtanga Yoga" i.e. "Eight-limbed Yoga" of Patanjali.
