Ritual cafe and Gift Shop

Are invited to experience the unique and nourishing offerings of Ritual Café and Gift Shop, a vegetarian café, deli, vegan restaurant, yoga instructor, and yoga studio located in the heart of Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

At Ritual, they believe that rituals bring us moments of joy, and they aim to provide a space where people can find soul food, yoga, and the gift of ritual. The café offers a range of vegetarian and vegan dishes that are not only delicious but also good for the body and soul. With a menu that incorporates healing ingredients and follows an Ayurvedic thread, Ritual's food is a unique and nourishing experience.

Beyond the café, Ritual also offers yoga classes, retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings. Their yoga offerings are deeply authentic, drawing from traditional, ancient Hatha yoga traditions. The classes focus on strengthening and awakening the body through asana, transformative breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation. They also offer deeply healing practises such as yoga nidra, mantra, and nada yoga.

Ritual Café and Gift Shop is not just a place to eat and practise yoga. It is also a retail space that offers a range of Ritual-based products designed to nurture the mind, body, and soul. These products are ethically made and good for the environment, promoting happiness and health. The retail space allows visitors to discover and explore a variety of items that enhance the ritualistic nature of everyday life.

The vision behind Ritual Café and Gift Shop stems from a belief in the power of rituals to bring joy and sustained happiness into our lives. The founders of Ritual have seen firsthand how incorporating rituals into their own lives has increased their happiness, and they want to share this experience with others. In their space, they aim to create an environment where everyone feels honoured and where life slows down enough for people to appreciate the simple pleasures.

Ritual Café and Gift Shop is set to open its doors in mid-2021, offering a place where people can find nourishment, mindfulness, and well-being. Whether you're looking for a delicious vegetarian or vegan meal, a yoga class to strengthen and awaken your body, or a retail space filled with products that support a ritualistic lifestyle, Ritual is the destination for you.

You can find them at 24 Belgium St Ostend, Waiheke Island, and they are open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 3pm. They are closed on Sundays. When you book a class or sign up to find out about their latest events and promotions, Ritual will gift you a coffee, chai, or tea for free. Come and experience the joy of rituals at Ritual Café and Gift Shop.
