Ritual is such a special place!! Ive been doing yoga for years now across various studios in the US but this is definitely the most welcoming, community oriented studio I’ve been to. I went from my 10 day to monthly unlimited to 6 month unlimited. The teachers Aminat, Mimeki, Hannaniah and Michelle will be sure to flow hard but leave you feeling zen. Highly recommend !!
