>What to Expect:
Ritual Urban Retreat is a multi-modality Wellness Studio in the West End. Their breathwork, sound journey, and yoga classes are designed to support deep rest. Their pilates, foundations, and spin classes are built for strength and physical conditioning. The Ritual sauna & cold plunge program will leave you feeling energized, relaxed and balanced.
With a full menu of modalities and certified practitioners, Ritual Urban Retreats put a heavy emphasis on creating tailored private events and “mini” retreats. Ritual wanted to create a retreat model where people didn’t have to always spend significant time and money to be in ceremony.

You’ll find wooden accents, large windows carrying an abundance of natural light, tile and marble features, and plenty of space between the lobby, changerooms, patios, and classrooms.
Perfect for:
- Corporate retreats and team-building

in the last weekCame in on a cloudy afternoon for the cold plunge and sauna experience. Clean, restful, incredible customer service, and a serene space tucked away amongst the busy city. It’s everything you want for a peaceful and restorative afternoon. Dave is incredibly kind and the reviews here are a testament to the great community created by Ritual Urban. Can’t recommend enough and excited to come back and try the classes. Easily a new favourite spot in Downtown Vancouver.

a week agoRUN don’t walk to Ritual. Beautiful, clean, bright space with some of the best classes I’ve ever experienced. Dave Gu’s Breathwork class is bliss, cycling with Jamie is the best start to the day and the sound healing is an amazing immersive journey. With yoga and strength classes too it’s a unique place with so many modalities under one roof. Tacking a sauna and cold plunge on to any visit makes this spot the ultimate wellness destination in the city!

2 months agoRitual 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!

7 months agoI’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!

2 weeks agoRitual is SUCH a special place. As soon as I walked in, I could tell it was going to be an elevated experience. I've been cold plunging for years, and it was so great to be able to do it in this urban oasis. The staff was amazing. David Gu is one of the best humans in the city, so you know anything he does it going to be great. The founder, Jamie, was our host and was so attentive (and understanding when we accidentally ran late). Can't wait to go back to Ritual and try more of the classes and experiences!
