A ritual is something sacred. A routine is something you have to do. Here’s why making the switch changes everything.

Dear Friends,
A routine tells you what to do. A ritual tells you who you are becoming.
Lately, I’ve been noticing how the smallest parts of my day feel completely different when I bring just a little more intention to them. Lighting a candle before I work. Taking three deep breaths before I move. Sitting for a moment with my coffee before diving in.
It’s not about adding more—it’s about slowing down enough to remember what matters.
This week, I’m thinking about the difference between routines and rituals… and how choosing ritual helps us reconnect with ourselves in a deeper way.
👉 This week’s yoga flow (linked below) is a beautiful way to ritualize your movement practice—inviting presence, play, and intention onto the mat.
