Step into the tranquil world of Ritual Studios where the wisdom of Katonah Yoga meets the precision of Pilates, and holistic well-being is not just a destination but a lifelong transformation.
What began with a mutual love of yoga and Pilates, ignited the birth of a thriving entrepreneurial venture.
Sophie and Rose Lamont are not just business partners but are the spirited sister duo at the helm of Ritual Studios, and their story is one of passion, dedication and the transformation of a shared interest into a successful enterprise.
Rose, a seasoned yoga teacher, is renowned for her expertise in Katonah Yoga—a fusion of Hatha yoga, Taoist theory, geometry, and meditation. Her teachings have been a wellspring of inspiration, drawing countless individuals seeking personal growth and a transformative training program.
Sophie, an exercise physiologist, has honed her skills through Ritual Studios’ classes and teacher training courses, helping people seamlessly weave this transformative practice into their lives.
Along with the flagship studio in Palm Beach, Rose and Sophie have recently established premises in Robina and Mermaid Beach.
Across all three of Ritual Studios’ locations, the meticulous decor and lighting create an ambience that encourages relaxation and self-care. Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to provide an ideal environment for healing and self-discovery. But what sets Ritual apart on the Gold Coast is its distinctive teaching approach.
“We invested significant time in training our instructors and ensuring that students and practitioners receive a solid, seamless practice that harmonises both body and mind,” says Rose.
“Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can explore their own practice, whether that’s yoga, barre or Pilates, while enjoying quality classes.
“What we offer in our studios is more than just exercise; it’s a holistic approach to well-being.”
Nearly a decade ago, Ritual Studios came to life, when Sophie and Rose endeavoured to make transformative experiences accessible to all, both in studio and through their innovative free online channel ‘DIGITAL RITUAL’.
“Eight years ago, we never expected Ritual to become the home of so many locals,” says Sophie.
“We simply wanted to share the benefits of yoga and Pilates with our community, but it has grown beyond our wildest dreams.”
With the recent acquisition of two additional studios in Robina and Mermaid Beach, Ritual Studios is poised for an even brighter future. These expansions have solidified Ritual’s reputation as the most renowned and trusted wellness studio on the Gold Coast.
“We’re thrilled about Ritual’s growth and these new locations will enable us to reach and inspire a wider audience,” says Rose.
As Ritual Studios continues to flourish and evolve, it remains a sacred space where individuals come to reconnect with themselves, restore balance in their lives, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. The fusion of Katonah Yoga’s wisdom and Pilates’ precision creates a potent synergy that nurtures both body and soul.
Ritual is more than just a studio; it’s a community—a place where people find calmness and strength,” says Sophie.
