The Ritual Experience
Ritual Hot Yoga is here to change everything. From the yoga studio experience, to the practice, to the business philosophy that provides for sustainable full-time careers in yoga, you’ve never felt anything like this before. Just because the yoga industry in the United States has only operated one way–contract instructors; cookie-cutter classes; inconsistent class quality; and a cut-throat grab for marketshare that places profits over people–does not mean that it always will be that way. Ritual Hot Yoga is the start of the revolution.
The Studio Experience
From the moment you enter the studio doors, let the experience surprise you. Students are welcomed by a concierge, a comfortable seating area, and complimentary water and tea. The studio is all-inclusive; premium mats and mat towels, showers, essential-oil bath products and shower towels, and all those sweet touches you might crave before or after practice have been considered and provided.
The Class Experience
Each all-levels practice is 50-minutes of candle-lit, fast-paced yoga choreographed to the bumping beats of the inspiring playlists of our teachers, bookended by meditation and massage. Each week, a new peak pose and class intention guide the practice. Advanced variations as well as inversions are offered in every class, as well as hands-on adjustments. Two yoga teachers lead each class, one to guide sequence, and one to provide alignment assists and demonstrations that benefit veteran yogis and beginners alike. It’s a dark, hot, sweaty, rhythmic, soulful journey.
The Mission
Ritual is here to revolutionize the yoga industry with salaried career paths for teachers and to revolutionize your practice, one beat, one breath, one movement at a time. Ritual hires the best and brightest teachers in the area, and trains them to teach in the Ritual style while providing them with full-time salaried employment, benefits including 401K plans, health insurance, paid vacations, as well as career development opportunities.
“My love for the practice runs deep. It’s why I’ve spent the last decade learning everything I could about this industry — not just to understand it, but to change it. The early years taught me a lot: what it feels like to be undervalued, and more importantly, how it should feel when you’re respected, supported, and celebrated for doing the work you love.
Ritual Hot Yoga was built to flip the script — to create a place where teachers could build real careers, not just side gigs. Right now, that’s what sets us apart. And honestly? I hope it doesn’t stay that way. I hope the industry rises, that sustainable, thriving careers for teachers become the norm — and that we’ll have to level up all over again.
Until that day, we’ll keep pushing the edges. We’ll keep leading. And we’ll never forget why we started.”
