community spotlight: kelsey

Kelsey’s journey with Ritual Yoga began in January 2024, when she took her first class and immediately knew she had found something special. "I think I came back the very next day," she says with a smile.

What draws Kelsey back to Ritual time and time again is the unique energy of the space. "I love an intentionally designed space where the human need for beauty and balance is attended to - and Ritual is that kind of space. It’s a haven for nervous system regulation." The thoughtful design and welcoming atmosphere offer a sanctuary for anyone looking to restore balance, both physically and mentally.

Through her practice, Kelsey has experienced a deepening of understanding. "I think I’ve begun to understand a bit more about what it is that I’m actually practicing - not just the big outward movements, but the more magical interior movements." Yoga, for Kelsey, has become about connecting with her inner self and understanding the subtle shifts in her body and mind.

Kelsey enjoys a variety of classes at Ritual. The rising energy of Morning Rituals, the strength-building nature of Power Flows, and the unique atmosphere of Low Lights & Heavy Beats have become some of her favorite ways to connect with her practice. Each class offers something distinct - whether it’s a calming start to the day or an intense session that builds both physical strength and mental resilience.

Above all, Kelsey emphasizes the warmth and inclusivity of the Ritual community. "Since my first class, I’ve felt genuinely invited into Ritual," she shares. "This is a testament to how purposefully and warmly Tawney builds and holds this community." The welcoming, inclusive atmosphere has allowed Kelsey to feel truly at home, both on and off the mat.

It's a privilege to have Kelsey on board at Ritual – her dedication and approach to her practice continually inspire us!
