I’m not a yogi and the practice of yoga has never ever been my thing. Flexibility has never been easy for me and I have never touched my toes (without bending my knees) but I know yoga is good for me so I have always tried to find a studio class that gets me and I feel like Ritual Hot Yoga does that.
The studio is located in the Soma district and spitting distance from the 101 freeway. I was immediately greeted and signed in using a touchscreen and then given a quick tour. Ritual has everything you need to clean up after class with showers, towels, and supplies to dry your hair. The studio also supplies you with a yoga mat, fancy yoga towel, clips to secure your mat, and a yoga block. I loved that there was bottled water and tea as well.
The class is centered around moving and breathing to the beat which makes it a very quick flow of yoga poses in a heated candlelit room. I found my first class to be liberating because I didn’t have a enough time to be frustrated by any of the poses because you have to move to the next one.

Wow – never tried… I think I should be in better “shape” to try this first… but I did try a beginners yoga class and I felt so good afterwards… need to recommit!

I’m horrible at Yoga, even though this class moves fast I didn’t have time to get frustrated!

I am a little too far south in San Jose, but it sounds great. I’d like to give it a try.
Alexa Brooks says
I used to live out there a few years ago. Maybe make a brunch date out of it too!

Um those theme classes sound awesome and hilarious! I haven’t been much of a yoga person but I’d give it a try just for that.
