Hands down the best hot yoga studio!
Ritual is a super unique yoga practice where you flow to the beat of the music. First timers, don’t shy away after your first class! It does take some getting to the ritual flow style. I love that I’m constantly challenged by the flows and peak postures of the week. I 100% attribute Ritual to pushing my limits in the best way, I’ve learned so much, and now able to do some cool arm balances. Love the community and the amazing teachers here! 🫶🏻
Best yoga studio in SF. Super supportive environment and catered to all levels. The class is done in low light and always has a great playlist. Seriously, the best 50 minutes you’ll have!
Love the all inclusive experience, no need to bring anything, just show up. They have all the tower and equipments you need for class and shower etc. very continent. Taco Tuesday smells so good.
Con is I feel the class is best for ppl who are used to their pace, it was dark and fast pace, hard to follow for new comers. It’s like a yoga HIIT class. Not suitable for ppl who have injuries, and I felt it’s was a bit easy to hurt myself I’d move too fast or do it wrong. They have TA to help on correction but felt not enough instructions overall. My bkg: I’ve done yoga many years, knows most typical poses, but have leg and wrist injuries.
But the teacher’s voice was beautiful and the ending towel was nice. Not much massage though, it was more of holding your upper arm for 5s.
Comically bad. Instructors call out poses in lieu of giving instructions or demonstrations, postures aren’t corrected, moments at the end of class which should be for contemplation or at least relaxation are always punctuated by the instructor telling a grim story about their past transgressions or traumas. Very strange. At least the room is warm
To their credit they do provide good amenities - many class options, yoga mats, towels, water bottles, and kombucha on Fridays
I've been coming to ritual hot yoga for over a year now and I Love Ritual.
Every teacher is unique in their own way but the style of the class is the same. It's a challenging 1 hour yoga class in a hot room (inclusive of intro meditation and savasana). They welcome all bodies and styles. You get a warm up, then a flow that we reeat 4 times x2 for each side. 2 with guidance and 2 in our own. There is also a bit of an ab workout and finally more flow. There is a peak pose each week and you can see how much you improve. Levels are up yo you but they do from 1 to 4. I can personalize it depending on my goals and how my body feels.
The music and flows depend on the teachers. For example, one will have more arm work and another one zero.
They also offer yin restorative yoga classes and I use these to work through any pain.
I used to live at 6th and Howard and being near Ritual was one of the only benefits of living in that neighborhood. Room is super hot, music is super loud, lights off so you can focus on yourself. No need to bring your own mat or towel. While I'm very glad I don't live nearby anymore, I do miss Ritual!
2-star yin yoga experience, increasing to 3-star because staff were friendly and good equipment. Could barely hear the instructor, who read things off a script with barely any move demonstrations. Terrible experience for beginners & experienced class participants alike.
Also not a fan of the very dark decor - not a good ambiance for a yoga studio.
Came here for a ClassPass class and was surprised by how interesting the experience was!
Good:
- Good amenities - showers, towels, mats and blocks
- Fun class - felt like it was pretty hard for a yoga class - they even had some pretty long core sections in the middle of it and the instructor was great about teaching
- They even did a mini massage at the end that I enjoyed.
Bad:
- Smelled pretty funny in the studio
- Super hot in the studio - wanted more water break cues
Overall enjoyed the novel experience here! Good instruction and service.
