Ariel started her yoga journey after suffering a few injuries, the physical aspect drew her in, but the meditation changed her life. She became a yoga instructor in 2015 and subsequently travelled the world learning various styles from Thailand to Japan. She fell in love with the demanding flow of Ritual and the community she has found attending the studio, amazed how the company was able to encompass this ancient practice and push its evolution.

Ariel constantly strives to continue her education, most recently finishing courses in Anatomy and Physiology. She has worked as a divemaster, a rehabilitation aide, and is now part of the Ritual Crew!
