What does a typical day look like for Gregory? Let’s find out… 🤎

Mornings for Gregory always start with his pup, Roofus, and a five-minute snuggle. “Okay, probably more like 15 minutes. Okay, okay… it’s usually 30!”

Next comes fueling up. Gregory is passionate about nourishing meals and supporting local farms. “Stocking my fridge with fruits and veggies from around the valley keeps me connected to the land and the community,” he says, giving a big shout-out to Dixon melons.

Movement is a daily ritual, but for Gregory, it’s about joy, not performance. “I love being the friend you can call for any activity: a trail run, tennis, or even bowling (yes, I own my own ball and shoes),” he laughs.

Evenings often find him gazing at the sky. “Maybe that’s on a tech-free backpacking adventure, maybe it’s just standing on my roof, texting everyone I know to go check out the moon or sunset,” he explains.

At the heart of it all, Gregory loves listening to people’s stories. “Supporting others’ passions and seeing them achieve their wildest dreams is what brings me the most joy,” he says. This applies to everyone in his life - the Ritual community, friends, strangers, or his three amazing nephews.

Gregory believes any moment can be a meditation. “Using awareness, slowing down, and tapping into the breath - even while waiting in line at the Good Food Store or sitting at a red light on Higgins - those ‘micro moments’ add up and shape the energy of my day,” he notes.

When guiding meditation and sound baths, his philosophy is simple: “Find what works for you and do more of that - and be proud of yourself for showing up and ‘doing the work’!” He adds, “My practice and my life are rooted in love, levity, gratitude, and grace. My goal is to pass that on, one person, one breath, one moment at a time.”

Find him on the mat:
Evening Sound Bath Meditation on Wednesdays (7-7:30pm)
Morning Meditation on Fridays (7:15-7:45am)

Student Success Story with the ever-inspiring Beverly! 🤎

Beverly joined Ritual at the beginning of August 2024, starting with an introductory three-week session - and quickly decided to stay. “I started with an introductory 3 weeks and just stayed!” she says.

What keeps her coming back? “My favorite thing about Ritual is the instructors! Every single one that I have taken class from has been so kind, thoughtful, supportive, and super encouraging. Everyone makes it a priority to remind us that it is our practice and we should do what is right for us. And every instructor has their own style - I love the differences.”

After practicing Bikram yoga for over a dozen years, Beverly describes her time at Ritual as a refreshing evolution. “My yoga practice is more and more about nurturing my body and my mind rather than ‘nailing’ a physical practice. At Ritual I feel comfortable challenging myself with difficult postures, even when I fail - which is most of the time! And I don’t leave yoga wiped out, but rather energized and motivated to do the next class and tackle whatever is ahead.”

Beverly especially enjoys the Vinyasa Power Flow classes. “I am not able to do some of the options, but I love trying, and my body feels amazing after class. I also love the Yin or Restorative classes. They are a wonderful way to settle my mind.”

Reflecting on the broader impact of yoga in her life, Beverly says, “In these very unsettling times, I feel so lucky to have found the Ritual community. Doing yoga has helped me stay healthy, keep moving, and be less anxious. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful people who make the studio what it is - instructors and students - for such a welcoming environment.”

A Day in the Life with our lovely 🥀

Sara, one of Ritual’s yoga teachers, wears many hats. She’s a mama, a full-time professional with a London-based firm, and she also pours her energy into side projects like retreats, leadership facilitation, and co-creating The Athena Pack, a women’s leadership conference each November. With so much going on, she jokes, “I’m definitely not a morning person!” But her schedule demands early starts, so she’s found grounding practices that help her navigate the mayhem with presence.

One of her favorite anchors is being outside. “No matter the season, I start my day by stepping outside with my dogs and a cup of coffee, watching the sun—or moon—rise over Mount Jumbo. It’s a peaceful pause, and I love knowing that syncing up with the rhythm of the sun is such a powerful reset for our bodies.”

Connection is another throughline. Though her work is people-focused, most of it happens alone at her computer. To shift that, she often invites friends or colleagues to walk instead of meeting for coffee. “Moving my body while also catching up with someone fills me up in a different way.” And every week, teaching at Ritual is a guaranteed space for her to connect in person and share community.

At night, Sara closes the day with a ritual she shares with her daughter: asking three questions - What was your favorite part of the day? What was the hardest part? What are you looking forward to tomorrow? “No matter how the day went, this always helps me end with gratitude, connection, and perspective.”

Mindfulness, for Sara, also shows up in unexpected ways. “One of my favorite practices is mowing the lawn,” she admits with a smile. “If I ever lose my job, I’d like to start a lawn mowing practice!” Whether listening to a podcast like Yung Pueblo’s How to Love Better or singing along to Lauryn Hill’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You, she finds joy in the simple rhythms of being outdoors.

Through these daily rituals, Sara reminds us that mindfulness doesn’t have to be elaborate - it lives in the small, meaningful moments we choose to notice.

Come practice with her on Mondays: All Levels Flow (12-1pm)
