1. Tell us a little bit about you — Where did your journey with yoga or Pilates begin, and what led you to it?
Gosh I actually started some yoga when pregnant with my daughter in 1998, but didn’t continue regular practice after her birth. Then went to various workshops and retreats over the years, including one in Bali with a friend & Pumpkin Island in recent years.
Then Pilates was to add balance & strength training that was more gentle than F45 😂

2. How long have you been practicing Yoga or Pilates?
10 years

3. What brought you to Ritual?
Being in Palm Beach, I did the 30 day trial

4. What does your practice mean to you?
My peaceful place

5. Favourite class or pose?
Yin

6. Do you have your own ritual before or after class?
I wish I did, something to aspire to

7. Aside from Ritual, what else do you incorporate into your daily rhythm to stay well, centred, and inspired?
Hmm, water, magnesium, try to follow anti-inflammatory food plan. Meditation, walking (I wish I could say, sauna, steam bath & ice baths, having just visited Finland & Sweden) 🥰🤔

8. If you could say anything to someone just starting out their practice at Ritual, what would you say?
Wonderful studio & teaching faculty, try classes, do the 30 day trial and sign up for a class a day if you can, to find your perfect place

9. If someone is feeling hesitant, unsure, or intimidated about coming in to practice — what would you want them to know?
At Ritual the team are so welcoming and non-judgmental, they will help you whenever you need support and encourage you every step of the way 🙏💖

10. Is there a life insight or piece of advice you’ve been given or experienced in your life — that stays with you?
Now it is, world peace begins with our own inner peace. Stay present, go within. Also “Desiderata” is always timely. 🙏
