Ritual is rooted in Community - near and far. We believe in loving our neighbors, fair and equal treatment for everyone and love, respect and kindness for all.
What’s happening in Minnesota is horrific, unfathomable and down right scary. But, as we’ve seen and continue to witness, Minnesotans are stronger than all of it. The collective is showing up and making a difference.
While we’re a bit late to the dance, we support and stand with our friends in Minnesota and beyond.
Ritual will be offering FREE class for the community on Friday at 9am. Additionally, we will extend the FREE class option to Saturday at 9:15am due to the late notice. And, we’re still hosting a free Community Gathering on Saturday from 1pm-3pm. (See previous post)
Class is free, but space is limited due to capacity. Please register using our link.
Sending our love and support to Minnesota ❤️

❤️Community is everything.
Community is at the core of every decision we make, every step we take/don’t take and how we show up. It’s never been about me or one individual, but it’s always been about the collective.

Many of us are hurting, angry, dysregulated, numb, scared, confused… the list goes on. We’re looking for answers, support, justice, compassion, courage, accountability, simple human kindness, community.
I’ve found myself processing through all of those emotions, myself, for quite some time now. Where is the humanity? Love for your neighbors? Compassion and kindness for fellow humans? Consider my mind completely boggled and my heart completely shattered. 💔
I cannot comprehend, rationalize or support it. I know many are feeling the same.
Ritual was built on the foundation of love and support for the community- local, far and wide. While we aren’t the experts in this unhinged political world, we are experts in loving our community.
We’re offering two free community events this week (sorry it’s quick!). More to come once I’m back in town in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned.
We hope to see you soon and until then sending so much love to all. xx

✨ As the season invites us to slow down and reflect on the year, we want to take a pause and say thank you.
Thank you for showing up — on your mat, in your body, in your life — even on the days it felt hard.
Thank you for trusting this space with your breath, your energy, your healing, your practice.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey, on and off the mat.

As you know, our studio is more than a place to practice — it’s a community, a ritual, a homecoming, a sanctuary. She belongs to all of us and we’re building her together.
The early mornings. The sweaty flows. The quiet savasanas. The deep exhales.
Every moment and every one of us is a part of what makes this space so special.

However you choose to celebrate or not, we wish you rest, joy and moments of presence that feel like a big, warm hug.
Thank you for being a part of our community. It’s such an honor to support your journey and we are endlessly grateful for you. ✨

Yoga in the park with me - this Sunday! 🫶🏻

Our final Sunday! We celebrate LINCOLN YOGA DAY as Salena takes the stage. Here’s a bit more about her:

Salena Woodrow has been practicing yoga as a student and teacher for the better part of 30 years.

As a D2 Collegiate cheerleader and dancer, flexibility was the name of the game. A brief encounter with traditional yoga started her decades-long love affair.

Yoga has served different roles over the decades, which included yoga for physical fitness (seeking the yoga b***y lol), yoga to supplement marathon training, and my time on the mat to support my mental health while transitioning through a divorce.

Her love for all things yoga eventually led her to yoga teacher training, which she completed and received her 200 hr RYT.

During teacher training, the spark was ignited, and she decided to pursue opening her own yoga studio to support the community.

On November 11, 2023, Ritual Yoga & Wellness was born in South Lincoln.

Salena’s life purpose has always been to support and love others through the journey of life. She has found her home at Ritual and extends a loving hand to anyone feeling called to practice with us.

She is originally from Indiana and transplanted to Nebraska in 2017.

She has 4 kids, 2 Aussies, and 1 cat (Mr Sous Chef)

Bring your friends, pets, kids, and community; beginners to daily practitioners will enjoy every minute of this practice!
