Strength, Community & Calm: Donna’s Journey From NZ to Ritual

Donna’s practice is rooted in strength, balance, and a deep sense of community. After beginning her Pilates journey in New Zealand and continuing it through the UK, she found a natural home at Ritual, arriving with confidence and no hesitation. What keeps her coming back is simple: the way she feels after class — energised, calmer, and noticeably less stressed. Even on days when work leaves her drained, she knows that stepping onto the mat will shift everything.

Living by the mantra “strong body, strong mind,” Donna prioritises her practice as part of a healthy work–life rhythm. She speaks warmly of the instructors who have supported her growth, especially Emily, whose evolution she’s witnessed from training to teaching. For Donna, Ritual means strength, kindness, and the power of community. Her advice to anyone feeling unsure about starting? Don’t hesitate — the people you meet here will lift you up.
