meet the team that moves you

World-class instructors, uniquely certified and trained in our signature teaching method to deliver a consistent, elevated experience in every class.

A STORY of COLLECTIVE COMMITMENT

Co-founders Kalene McGraner and Nicole Preston created Ritual One—a first-of-its-kind, infrared-heated yoga and sculpt–based fitness experience in Dallas, Texas. With decades of combined experience in health, wellness and fitness, they turned their passions into an upbeat method unique to Ritual One. Their approach unites mind and body, delivering a powerful sweat, elevated heart rate and a sense of inner peace and release found nowhere else. In 2024, they expanded to Houston, Texas, partnering with Yagmur Griffin. Growth is on the horizon for our company and we’re grateful for the journey so far.

Led with precision and calculated pacing, Nicole uses intentional sequencing and steady intensity in her classes to build strength, focus, and trust in the body.

Ritual One is more than just a strength, sweat and confidence building studio. It’s a community! Friendships are made, business is done and support is always available. I literally can’t imagine life in Dallas without the warmth of its rooms, teachers and students.

After 300 classes this is my favorite workout, I’ve ever done. There are more than different classes that I love here. I trust the instructors explicitly. Thank you Ritual One.

This was one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. From the music to the movements, as a person who is new to sculpt, I enjoyed every minute. Will definitely be back!
