community spotlight: riley
Riley has been a committed student here at Ritual since June, 2024 and her love for the community at Ritual, the variety of classes that our studio continues to offer, and our friendly teachers who provide creativity, high energy, and support in each and every class keeps bringing her back for more
What's different since joining Ritual? Her practice has gone from a physical focus, asking herself questions like “Am I getting more flexible?” or “Did I lose an inch off my waist?” to a more mental, emotional, and spiritual mindset. “We are encouraged to listen to our bodies and intuition and as someone whose brain has a hard time turning off, this has been one of my favorite parts about my time here at Ritual.”
Favorite class? Riley’s favorite class at Ritual is our Yin Yoga, as she can sink into stillness, find mental clarity, and become more aware of her breath in this class offering. “The incredible team at Ritual does a great job at creating and holding space to meet you exactly where you’re at, which for me, is a beginner level” according to Riley. Her favorite pose is Pigeon Pose, also known as “Sleeping Swan” in Yin.
What keeps you coming back? Ritual is now Riley’s happy place, her sanctuary, and a place she can call home. “I'm so grateful to surround myself with like-minded people, to learn from such talented individuals, and to deepen my own personal practice with time and space set aside to quiet the outside world, turn inward, and truly focus on myself,” says Riley.
The Ritual Team thanks you, Riley, for your time, trust, and continued support here at the studio. Your dedication to your practice shows great courage, strength, and vulnerability. We love you!
