The styles they teach
“Ritual has done a wonderful job offering a variety of classes for those that want to slow down with “yin” and for those that want to push it with “hot yoga”.”
“If you're new to hot yoga, I believe they recommend starting with their yin class to get a feel for the heat.”
What's on offer
“The mats are already set up, they have towels, showers, face wipes, hair ties, tampons, hair dryer, straightener- literally everything.”
What students say again and again
“Xsport's got solid equipment and the place is clean, which matters when you're sharing barbells with strangers.”
“- Adjustments given for most poses to adapt to your level of ability - Slow the first time through a flow, then quickly for a few flows!”
“- Movement is cued to the beat of the music - Instructor (Mimeki) was incredible at cuing new positions.”
“Ive been doing yoga for years now across various studios in the US but this is definitely the most welcoming, community oriented studio I’ve been to.”
“The mats are already set up, they have towels, showers, face wipes, hair ties, tampons, hair dryer, straightener- literally everything.”
From the reviews
Absolutely amazing! Everyone one I've met make me feel like I've known them for years! I love this place! I was new to yoga but not to working out so I wasn't sure at first but Attending the Hot Yoga & Yin classes are definitely bringing peace and ritual back in my life as 2020 was a nightmare.
Ideal yoga: Advanced poses, Advanced transitions, minimal cues, fast-paced, dim ambiance, hands-on adjustments, great music, cold wet towel, intense heat (105 degrees per my Apple Watch), a brief 10-second massage pre-class, suitable for beginners and experts. Awesome community!
The best yoga studio I've ever been to. I went for the first time in October and was immediately hooked, I became a member and have been one ever since. So many good things to say about this place: 1.
I have absolutely loved my experience at Ritual in River North! I started going through ClassPass taking Yin on Sunday evenings with Radha, then added Thursdays with Exavier, then was soon hooked and ended up becoming a member and expanding my classes.
Your first hot yoga class at Ritual Hot Yoga - River North
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel (or rent them here), water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
