This week at Ritual Hot Yoga, our peak pose is Big Toe. 🦶✨

It’s a standing balance that builds from the ground up, asking your standing leg to stay strong while everything else opens and lengthens.

Karma Yoga is the yoga of selfless action 🧘, showing up and doing the work without being attached to the outcome. Not practicing to nail the pose. Practicing because the effort itself is the point. 🌸 Big Toe will test that. Some days the leg extends fully. Some days it doesn’t. Both days count.

L1 Hand to shin
L2 Peace fingers, grab big toe
L3 Kick straight
L4 Arm up

🌿 Modify: Can’t quite reach your toe yet? Loop a sweat towel around your foot to bridge the gap, you’ll get all the benefits of the pose right where you are. :)

💥Level Up: From the bind, lower into a pistol squat and rise back up without letting go. Strength, balance, and control all in one.

See you on the mat this week. 🔥

This week at Ritual Hot Yoga, our peak pose is Sage 2.🪷✨

Sage 2 is an arm balance that lives at the intersection of strength and stillness. Your core is doing the heavy lifting, your gaze is steady, and your breath is what holds the whole thing together.

Jnana Yoga is the yoga of knowledge 🧘 — the path of self-inquiry and wisdom. Not memorizing ancient texts, but asking the harder question: who am I when it gets difficult? 🌸 Sage 2 will ask you that. The answer you give on the mat is usually the same one you give everywhere else.

L1 knee to elbow
L2 bend elbows
L3 lift back toes
L4 straighten front leg

🌿 Yogi Challenge: Head into chinstand straight from L4 sage 2.

See you on the mat this week, crew.🔥🖤
