She loved yoga and business but burned out rapidly in the chaotic life that is the norm in the industry. Ritual Hot Yoga is an all-inclusive studio teaching 50-minute, all-levels, sweaty classes designed to strengthen your body, calm your mind and advance your practice. They offer complimentary amenities, including yoga mats & towels, showers, water bottles, hair ties, essential oils, and a few other delights.
