Ritual Urban Retreat

I’m a huge fan of workout classes and have tried over 30 different studios across Vancouver, Ritual is easily a new favourite. Ritual had all of the aspects that I love from other studios I’ve visited. Some highlights included the gorgeous, open, bright space, the patio for tanning & cold plunges, the sauna for use before & after class, and the showers and large locker room. They have 2 studios, one heated (wood) and one not heated (water). I did the 5:30 pm PULSE class in the heated room - it was great. The music was perfect, the pacing and flow of the class were well planned, and the instructor was clear and easy to follow. It was a small class but the studio is big so even if it was full it wouldn’t feel too crowded. I’m excited to try more of their classes, this is an amazing new studio for the West End!

Ritual Urban Retreat is a truly a one of a kind space in the heart of the West End in Vancouver. I was in search of a wellness studio that offers a mindful yoga experience - not yoga in the form of an exercise class, and Ritual offers just that. The Ritual team have curated a uniquely community-focused environment that encourages slowing down and being present. The instructors are experts at what they do and approach each class with intention. I would especially recommend the Sound Journeys (sound bathing) with Delyar, Yoga with Ashley (the Longevity classes are particularly nourishing), and Breath work classes with Dave. This space is truly born out of heartfelt passion and I am so happy I came across this studio when first moving to the area. I couldn’t recommend it more!

What an amazing experience at this studio! Although the class I originally booked was canceled due to an instructor's family emergency, the team went above and beyond to make things right. Dave showed an exceptional level of customer care, promptly refunding my sessions and ensuring that we felt fully supported despite the change in plans. When we arrived, Sophie was warm, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease. The serene, beautifully maintained space set the tone for a truly relaxing experience, and Sophie guided us through each step with genuine care and expertise. The outstanding customer service and top-notch amenities make this studio a standout. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

Had a great time at Ritual Urban Retreat! A relatively new studio in the west end on the corner of Denman and Alberni - located on the second floor. The space was very nice and beautiful. Shoes off in front, and a change room with lockers inside. I did a power yoga class with Ashley and it was great in a warm dark room. Can’t wait to come back and try the other classes, as well as the cold plunge and sauna.

I’ve been checking out Ritual for the past few months and it has been an incredible experience! The breathwork class and sound journey class were both deeply relaxing and left me feeling completely rejuvenated. The instructors are so attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for unwinding and grounding yourself. I’m also really looking forward to trying the sauna and cold plunge next time, as I’ve heard amazing things about how it can support the nervous system. If you're looking for a place to reset and reconnect with yourself, I highly recommend Ritual!
